UPS is one of the foremost carriers on the planet. However, sometimes, UPS may label a package as delivered but it is not the case.

You can then decide whether to ask for a refund if the package is not found. If the order status is 'delivered' but you do not have the package you can ask UPS to track the package for you.

Stolen and lost packages are considered separately by UPS. The firm does not take responsibility for packages that were delivered and then stolen. On the other hand, they will assist law enforcement with the investigation into the missing package.

If your UPS package status is 'delivered' buy you don t have it and you decide to follow up the issue with UPS, then you have to ensure that it is indeed missing.

If the package was delivered by the UPS driver, the package's tracking status on the UPS website will show that it was delivered. The delivery status means either one of two things. You either signed a release form allowing the UPS driver to leave the package unattended or the driver found a secure site where they could leave the package.

If the driver could not leave the package, the tracking status will show that a UPS InfoNotice was left on your door. If you don't find the InfoNotice, then the package will indeed be lost or misplaced.

The first step is to contact the sender and UPS will engage them to find the package. If the package is lost you can either get a replacement or a refund.

If you received a UPS InfoNotice, the notice will have more information about the state of the package. The UPS driver will tell you why they did not leave the package and from where you can retrieve it.

The driver will often direct you to a UPS Collection Point where you can collect your delivery. You can also sign the UPS InfoNotice and place it outside your door for the driver to try re-delivering the package when you are available.
