UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS is telling you that your parcel was at a UPS facility but missed the planned connection onto the next truck, plane or sorting run. The parcel is still inside the UPS network and has not been lost. The message also says delivery will be delayed by one business day.

Is my package delayed?

Yes, this message is an exception, though a mild one. UPS itself states a delay of one business day. It does not usually point to damage or a lost parcel. It means the parcel waited for the next available connection.

What happens next

The parcel usually shows "Departed from Facility" next, which means it has been loaded onto the next leg of its journey. After that, you should see the normal in-transit steps again, and the delivery date in your tracking should update to the new day.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking your tracking. No action is needed right now.
  • Look at the updated delivery date once the parcel has left the facility.
  • If the parcel shows no new movement for longer than the delay UPS announced, contact UPS.
  • Have your tracking number and order details ready. If you bought from a seller, you can contact them too.
