UPS delayed the package during the aviation security screening. / Your delivery will be rescheduled

UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS has held your parcel back during a mandatory aviation security screening. Parcels travelling by air are checked before they are loaded onto a plane, and yours was held at that stage, usually at an airport or a UPS facility near one. The message also says that your delivery will be rescheduled, so the original plan no longer applies.

Is my package delayed?

Yes, this message means a delay. It is not a sign that the parcel is lost or damaged. Security screening is a routine requirement for air freight, and the hold is usually short compared with the whole journey. Nothing here guarantees a new delivery date, so treat any date shown as provisional.

What happens next

Once the screening is finished, the parcel is released and continues on its route. You should then see new scan events and an updated delivery date. If the screening turns up a problem with the contents or the paperwork, UPS may need extra time or may contact the sender.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking your tracking history for a new scan and a revised date.
  • If the status does not change for longer than the earlier steps took, contact UPS with your tracking number.
  • If the parcel is still stuck after that, contact the seller and ask them to open an inquiry with UPS.
  • Keep your order confirmation and the tracking number ready when you call or write.
