What is UPS InfoNotice?

UPS InfoNotice is a great tool linking the shipments for a particular delivery location to a unique number. This reference number, appearing at the bottom of the InfoNotice just above the barcode, can be used to track your package, change delivery options or collect the missed shipment.

UPS InfoNotice is a type of information memo that the UPS carrier leaves at your door to notify you about a missed communication. So, if you receive a UPS InfoNotice, the company has tried to deliver or collect your package but failed since no one was at home.

As the name suggests, UPS InfoNotice is a notice that provides you with information about your package, how to track it and what to do next to collect it. It’s there to steer you in the right direction towards receiving your parcel, even if you missed their service. 

But to understand exactly what they want to tell you, you must know how to read the information in the UPS InfoNotice first.
