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.
