3. What does this UPS tracking status mean?
When monitoring your package through UPS, it's essential to understand the various tracking status codes you might encounter. These codes provide real-time information about the progress of your shipment, helping you stay informed every step of the way. Below is a detailed guide to UPS tracking status labels, each accompanied by a description to help you understand exactly where your package is in the delivery process:
| Label Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Label Created | Shipment details and billing information have been received from the sender. The status will be updated once the shipment is in our possession and starts moving through our network. |
| Shipped/On the Way | The shipment has been picked up and is in transit within our network, with a scheduled delivery date. This status may remain unchanged until the package is out for final delivery. Once it reaches the destination hub, there may be further scans for long-distance deliveries. |
| Out for Delivery | The shipment has arrived at the local UPS facility and has been dispatched to a driver for final delivery. Unless the sender has chosen a time-definite air delivery service, deliveries are typically made between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. (and sometimes later) for residential addresses and by the close of business for commercial addresses. |
| Delivered | The shipment has reached its final destination, and the delivery time has been recorded. If no signature is required, the driver will try to leave the package in a secure location, such as a front porch, side door, back porch, or garage, to protect it from theft or weather. |
| Delivered to a UPS Access Point | The shipment has been delivered to a selected UPS Access Point location. It is available for pickup at the receiver's convenience. |
| Transferred to Post Office for Delivery | The sender has requested that the shipment be transferred to the local post office for final delivery. Please allow an additional day or two for the delivery process to be completed. |
| Exception | The shipment is in the UPS network, but an unexpected issue may impact the scheduled delivery date. The specific reason for the exception will be detailed in the Shipment Progress section of the Tracking Detail page. If the delivery date changes, the tracking status will update with the new date. |
When is UPS Delivery Time?
UPS's delivery times can differ depending on the service selected. Typically, UPS conducts deliveries from Monday to Friday, with the delivery window closing at 5:30 p.m., except on bank and public holidays.
What does a UPS InfoNotice number signify?
When a UPS delivery attempt is not successful, the driver leaves behind a UPS InfoNotice®. This notice contains details like the anticipated time for the next delivery attempt and if a signature is needed upon delivery.
Tracking with UPS InfoNotice
If you receive a UPS InfoNotice, it means UPS tried to deliver or pick up your package but missed you. Check your InfoNotice to understand the specific actions taken and refer to the explanations for each checked box.
Delivery to UPS Access Point®.
If marked, your package will be at a UPS Access Point location near you, as written on the notice. You have seven days to collect it at your convenience. Verify its availability using your InfoNotice number and bring a government-issued photo ID for pickup. The details on your ID should match those on the package.
Next Delivery Attempt.
UPS will attempt another delivery on the next business day (Monday to Friday, and Saturday in select areas), excluding UPS holidays.
Signature Required.
Personal signature is needed for delivery. If you won’t be home, you can direct the package to a neighbor by following the InfoNotice instructions. Note: Packages needing an adult signature cannot be left with neighbors.
Package Left with Signature.
If you’re okay with UPS leaving the package while you're away, sign the back of the InfoNotice. This authorizes the driver to leave it at your address.
C.O.D Payment.
If your package requires a C.O.D payment, pay the driver directly as specified. For additional delivery options, track your package as previously instructed.
Package Left at Your Address.
This indicates where UPS left your package, either at your address or with a neighbor. As a UPS My Choice member, you can set specific delivery instructions.
Pickup Attempts.
UPS will try up to three times to pick up your package. If all attempts have been made, you can still arrange another pickup or take the package to a UPS drop-off point.
Final Attempt.
This indicates that UPS has made the final attempt to deliver or pick up at your address. To explore other options, track your package as mentioned earlier.
