Delivery Intercept FAQ

What is UPS Delivery Intercept?
With UPS Delivery InterceptSM, you can maintain control of your packages as they move through the UPS network. This fee-based service for shippers allows you to request the intercept of packages prior to delivery, providing greater flexibility in managing your shipping needs.

When you select UPS Delivery Intercept, you can request that UPS perform one of the following actions: 

  • Return to Sender: Return the package to the shipper
  • Deliver to Another Address: Reroute the package to a new address
  • Reschedule Delivery: Hold the package for delivery on a future date
  • Will Call: Hold the package for pickup by the consignee

You can make the request to intercept your package at any time using your UPS shipping or tracking system. The interception will be made on the day of scheduled delivery.

Does UPS guarantee its intercept service?

Can I intercept more than one package at a time?
Yes. You can request the intercept of a single package, multiple packages in a shipment, or an entire shipment. You can intercept up to 20 packages per request.

Can I intercept packages from different shipments by submitting only one request?
No. Each intercept request must be submitted on a per shipment basis. If you need to intercept packages from different shipments, you must submit an intercept request for the packages in each shipment.

How do I intercept multiple packages in my shipment using different intercept types?
From the Packages Eligible for Intercept page, choose an intercept type and select the packages for intercept. On the Confirmation page, select the Request Intercept for Remaining Packages link to return to the Packages Eligible for Intercept page, where you can create another intercept request for some, or all, of the remaining packages in your shipment.

Can I check the status of my delivery intercept request?
You can use the tracking number of your package to track the status, modify, or cancel your intercept.

Why can't I select some of the packages in the Review or Modify Package Selection list?
If a package is ineligible for intercept, the package will not be selectable, and an ineligibility reason will be displayed below the package details.

Can I cancel or modify a delivery intercept request?
Yes. You can cancel or modify an intercept request at any time before UPS completes the intercept or delivers the package.

UPS has made at least one delivery attempt on my shipment. Can I still intercept the delivery?
