UPS delivery times at a glance

Finally, a few words and experiences about the delivery times of UPS. If the package arrives during the week and this has been announced, delivery can be expected throughout the day. As stated on the official website, shipping can take 1 to 5 days, although in our case it mostly didn’t take longer than 2 to 3 days. As with other parcel service providers, the exact delivery time cannot be precisely predicted unless a specific time for delivery has been agreed beforehand. From our experience, we can say that the UPS driver is on the road all day and in our case, the delivery mostly took place from 08:00 to 18:00.

How to find out the shipment status of your delivery with UPS

If you have already sent your package on its way, you and the recipient can check the status of the shipment online at any time. In this way, the recipient can ensure that there is someone on-site upon arrival who can receive the package.

You can find this number on your shipment confirmation. It can be up to 22 characters long but consists of at least 7 characters. All you have to do is enter the information and click on “Determine status”.

Alternatively, you can also contact customer service directly by telephone. To do this, dial 01805-882663. The call from the cell phone network is not useful, as this can result in costs of up to 42 cents per minute. From the German fixed network, however, it is only 14 cents per minute.
