What happens if UPS tried to delivers and Im not home?

Unless it was a C.O.D. delivery, UPS will hold your shipment for five business days at the nearest UPS centre. If the shipment is not collected within five business days, it will be returned to the sender.

C.O.D. shipments are automatically returned to the sender on the same day the final delivery attempt is made.

To help ensure the safety of your package, the driver will try to leave your package out of plain sight. We recommend that you check all exterior doors and any locations where the package could be placed, including the porch, back patio, garage, and any area out of potential weather hazards. You should also check with anyone who might have retrieved the package. If you’re still unable to locate the package, contact the sender to start a claim.

Note: UPS urges package senders (rather than receivers) to initiate claims because package senders are in receipt of the most essential claim documents (invoices, receipts, detailed merchandise descriptions, tracking numbers, etc.).
