Tracking status

“Out for Delivery”: what this tracking status means

The package is on a delivery vehicle and should be delivered that day. UPS says residential deliveries are typically made between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. (occasionally later) unless a time-definite service was chosen. USPS notes packages may come with a different carrier than regular mail and arrive later in the day.

What to do

  1. Make sure the address is accessible and someone can sign if required.
  2. Check the tracking page for an estimated delivery window (FedEx and UPS often show one).
  3. Check your mailbox, porch and parcel lockers later in the day.

How long it usually takes

UPS: residential deliveries typically between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. (occasionally later); commercial by close of business.

When to contact the sender or carrier

USPS says if the package has not been delivered 1 full postal business day after this scan, submit a service request to your local Post Office using the tracking number.
