UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS is telling you that a vehicle or piece of equipment used to move your parcel broke down, for example a delivery truck, a trailer or sorting machinery. The parcel is not lost or damaged. It is somewhere in UPS's network, either on a vehicle or in a facility, and UPS is changing its plans to get it to you.

Is my package delayed?

Yes. This message is an exception, not a routine scan. The message itself says delivery will be delayed by one business day. It is a delay notice rather than a sign of a serious problem, and the parcel is still moving.

What happens next

UPS reroutes or reloads the parcel and updates the expected delivery date. The tracking history should then show normal movement again, such as a departure scan, an arrival at a local facility and finally "Out for delivery". The new delivery date may appear on the tracking page.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking the tracking history for new scans and an updated delivery date.
  • Plan for delivery one business day later than first expected.
  • If the parcel has no new scan well after the updated date, contact UPS with your tracking number.
  • If it was a purchase, you can also ask the seller for help, with your order details ready.
