UPS can hold a package for up to 7 calendar days at a UPS Access Point location or UPS Customer Center. After 7 days, the package will be returned to the sender. However, if the package is being held at a UPS Store, the store may have their own policy for holding packages, so it’s best to check with the specific store for their policy. It’s important to note that UPS does charge a fee for holding packages for more than 7 days, so it’s best to pick up your package as soon as possible to avoid any additional fees.
1. How long can UPS hold a package before returning it to the sender?

Yes, you can request UPS to hold your package for a longer period of time by using their UPS My Choice service. This service allows you to customize your delivery preferences, including holding packages for up to two weeks.
3. What happens if I don’t pick up my package within the designated hold period?
If you don’t pick up your package within the designated hold period, UPS will return the package to the sender. In some cases, the sender may charge a fee for the return shipment.
