UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS combines two separate notes in this message. The first says UPS needs a contact phone number for the sender or the recipient and is waiting for the customer to provide it. The second is a general disposal notice: a package that cannot be delivered is handled under local guidelines. The parcel is still in UPS's network, usually at a sorting facility, and it has not been delivered yet. The disposal part describes what can happen to undeliverable parcels. It does not mean your package has been discarded.

Is my package delayed?

This message is an exception, not a routine step. UPS is waiting for information, so the parcel may be on hold until a phone number is provided. Here it was seen between a warehouse scan and an import scan, so the parcel was moving across a border and customs handling came after it. Whether there is a delay depends on how long the hold lasts.

What happens next

After this message the parcel moved on to an import scan, which means it had reached the destination country's customs and import stage. Once the contact detail is sorted out, tracking should continue from there towards local delivery.

What you can do

  • Check the tracking page again for a new scan.
  • If nothing changes or the status stays on hold longer than usual, contact UPS with your tracking number and offer a phone number where you can be reached.
  • If you ordered from a seller, tell them too. They can add or correct the number on the shipment.
  • Keep your order details ready, including the sender's name and the delivery address.
