THE RECEIVER IS ON A HOLIDAY. DELIVERY WILL BE ATTEMPTED WHEN THE RECEIVER RETURNS;PACKAGE WILL BE DELIVERED NEXT BUSINESS DAY-NO SATURDAY GUARANTEE

:confused:

This was on the UPS website instead of out for delivery........I "guess" it will be here today as this note was from yesterday. Weird huh? I have never seen a note like this!
 
That just means they were closed on MLK Jr. Day... I think by reciever they mean the local UPS distribution center, not you.
 
This note is informing you that the receiver of the package is currently on a holiday and will not be available to receive the package. The delivery will be attempted when the receiver returns from their holiday. If the receiver does not return within the next business day, then the package will be delivered on the following business day. This means that there is no guarantee of delivery on Saturdays. This note is just informing you of the delay in delivery due to the receiver's absence.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my UPS package delayed due to the receiver's holiday?

UPS packages can be delayed during a receiver's holiday because the shipping and delivery services may not operate on certain holidays. This means that packages may not be processed or delivered until after the holiday period has ended.

What should I do if my UPS package is delayed because of a holiday?

If your UPS package is delayed due to a holiday, the best course of action is to check the UPS tracking system for updates. You can also contact UPS customer service for more information regarding the status of your package.

How can I find out if a holiday will affect my UPS delivery?

You can check the UPS holiday schedule on their official website. This schedule lists all observed holidays and indicates when UPS services may be impacted, helping you plan your shipments accordingly.

Will my UPS package be delivered the day after a holiday?

While UPS typically resumes normal operations the day after a holiday, delivery times may vary based on package volume and other factors. It's advisable to monitor your tracking information for the most accurate delivery updates.

Can I request a specific delivery date if my package is delayed by a holiday?

While you cannot directly request a specific delivery date for a delayed package, you can contact UPS customer service to discuss your options. They may be able to provide you with an estimated delivery date based on the current situation.
