UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS has no usable phone number for either the sender or the recipient on this shipment, and it is asking for one. The parcel is in UPS's network, usually at a sorting facility or warehouse, and the record is waiting for the missing contact detail. The message often repeats across several scan updates.

Is my package delayed?

This message by itself is an exception, but a minor one. In most cases the next update is a normal Warehouse Scan, so the parcel keeps moving. It can still hold things up if UPS needs the number to finish customs clearance or to arrange delivery. If the message keeps repeating without any movement, treat it as a possible delay.

What happens next

  • Most often, a Warehouse Scan follows and the parcel continues through the network.
  • Sometimes it shows an In Warehouse scan or a Departed from Facility scan.
  • Less often, the message repeats, or UPS asks for customs documents or changes the delivery address.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking the tracking history for new scans.
  • If the message stays and the parcel is not moving, contact the seller and ask them to confirm that a valid phone number was given to UPS.
  • You can also contact UPS directly and give them your number.
  • Have your tracking number, order details and delivery address ready.
