The package is being held for a future delivery date. We’ll attempt to deliver on the date requested

Good Morning All,

In a very strange position please if someone can help.

I have shipped my first inventory ( of 2 units ) to CV5 9PF GB (BHX4) Weight is 5.4
Kgs

I waited all day long for the UPS person to come and collect the parcel from home, no luck, I contacted UPS , Customer representative said that the UPS collection is valid for only one day and you need to book again and he van book the collection again for me for next day,
Luckily I have the UPS dropoff location nearby so I thought it’s best to drop off the parcel instead of waiting for the whole next day. For the last two days, I am tracking the parcel and it’s moving slowly and lowly

Today in Amazon Seller Central, it’s showing as in transit but on the other hand, when I tracked from the UPS website is saying as

“The package is being held for a future delivery date. We’ll attempt to deliver on the date requested”

Any specific reason for that and what shall I do next?

In addition to all above when I check my listing it was also live in the morning.

Strangely in the buy box, it is showing as

Delivery at no extra cost for Prime members
FREE Delivery Oct 23 - 25 for Prime members

Any help/suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I believe the parcel is being held until the Amazon warehouse can take it in. We often have this where it says in transit but if you look at the ‘Track Shipment’ tab then it says ‘Depot name - Available for collection’. Usually it gets collected within the next two days but has taken longer on some occasions where the warehouse is probably busy/understaffed.

The delivery dates given look a bit worrying though. What does the shipment say on the Amazon track shipment page?

That is absolutely normal. You’ll probably find if you check again in a couple of days that it’s delivered

The delivery date to customers will also change when your stock goes into receiving
