Frequently asked questions
Why is my package taking so long?
Most delays come from one of a few causes: weather, high shipping volume around holidays, a missed scan, an address problem, or the package waiting at a facility. Enter your tracking number above and we'll translate the status and estimate the most likely cause.
Does Package Delay work with all carriers?
We support USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Amazon Logistics, OnTrac, LaserShip/Veho, and many regional carriers. You can pick a carrier or let us auto-detect it from the tracking number.
My tracking hasn't updated in days. Is my package lost?
Not necessarily. Packages often go a day or two without a scan, especially over weekends or while moving between facilities. If there's been no update for more than 48 hours, it's worth contacting the carrier. We flag this for you automatically.
What does the ZIP code checker do?
Enter your ZIP code and we check current weather, severe-weather alerts, federal holidays, and weekend delivery limits to estimate whether deliveries in your area are likely delayed right now.
Is this an official carrier website?
No. Package Delay is an independent tool and isn't affiliated with any carrier. We estimate possible causes of delays and can't guarantee the exact reason a package is late.
