Temporary Service Adjustments Due To COVID-19

Governments of several countries within the region including Middle East, Africa, Indian Subcontinent and Central Asia, are implementing various containment measures in an attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19.

UPS continues to operate a regular service, however, there may be potential delays in services due to network constraints.

For our customer’s safety, our drivers can temporarily sign off parcels on behalf of the customer to avoid unnecessary contact via hand-held devices. We kindly request customers to open the door, accept the parcel and state their name for security purposes. Parcels that are not signed for will be marked with code CV19 plus 11 digits of the consignee’s name as proof of delivery.

Please continue to monitor ups.com and check your package tracking for the latest delivery status information.

India:

UPS services continue to operate for both pickup and delivery in postal codes across cities in India in line with local restrictions. However, due to limited intra-country line haul options, slight delays can be expected. Please expect longer transit times for exports from India to Asia and the Middle East, and imports into India from the US/EU due to network restrictions.
