What happens if UPS needs a signature and no one is home?
What happens if you're not home to sign for UPS? UPS will leave an InfoNotice at your residence that shows the next scheduled delivery attempt, or where to collect the package. After three attempted deliveries, the package is sent back to the shipper.
UPS will make three attempts to deliver your package on three separate business days. In most cases, you must be present and provide a signature to receive your package. If you can't sign for your package on any of those days, they'll typically hold your package at a nearby UPS facility for 3-5 business days.

We are unable to provide two delivery attempts on the same day. Your driver may make a second attempt on the next business day and a third attempt on the following business day, if necessary.

If a package requires a signature, the UPS Driver can't leave it. If it does not require a signature and the driver won't leave it, he may not have the option. If the area is considered unsafe or if a package has been stolen at the address, the address is blocked from release.
UPS may make up to three delivery attempts at its discretion at your address on regular UPS delivery days. After the final attempt, undeliverable packages will be returned to the sender.
If the package couldn't simply be left, the tracking status will show UPS InfoNotice was left. If no InfoNotice is present, it means the package either hasn't been delivered or has been lost or misplaced. If your package's status shows a missing delivery, your first step is to contact the shipper.
If the shipment requires a direct or adult signature, then someone must be available to sign in person. If someone is not home to sign for a direct or adult signature, the courier will leave a door tag or reattempt delivery.
