Common Delivery Issues: Stuck in Transit or Failed Attempts

Tracking Number Not Working

If your code is not working, make sure you are entering the tracking number and not the order number. These are two different codes. The tracking number is usually on the courier receipt.

Shipment Not Updating

Long gaps between scans are common for ground shipments covering large distances. Air cargo updates faster because the parcel gets scanned at both the departure and arrival airports.

Parcel Delayed

Your parcel might be delayed because of a customs hold, a sorting error at a hub, or a road transport disruption. Check the latest scan entry for any remark that explains the delay.

Delivery Failed

A failed delivery scan means the rider went to your address but could not hand over the parcel. This can happen if nobody answered the door or the gate was locked. Call the branch to reschedule.

Lost Shipment

A parcel stuck without scans for over a week could be misrouted to the wrong depot. Ask the sender to call UPS Surepost and request the sorting center to trace it using the barcode.

Customs Delay

Customs delays happen when the declared value does not match the actual contents, or when import duty is pending. Contact the shipper for the commercial invoice and share it with the customs office.
