Does 'Out for Delivery' Mean I'll Get It Today?
Yes, 'out for delivery' usually means your package is on the delivery truck and should arrive by the end of the day. However, delays can happen due to weather, traffic, or missed scans. If it doesn't arrive, wait until the next business day before contacting the carrier.
Does 'Out for Delivery' Mean I'll Get It Today?
Yes, in most cases, 'out for delivery' means your package is on the delivery truck and should arrive today. But it's not a 100% guarantee. Here's a quick checklist to set your expectations:
- Check the time. If it's still early in the day, there's plenty of time for the driver to reach you.
- Look for a delivery window. Some carriers provide an estimated time range; if not, assume it could arrive as late as 8–9 PM.
- Watch for status updates. If it says 'out for delivery' but then flips to 'delivery attempted' or 'back at facility,' it likely won't arrive today.
- Consider the carrier. USPS, UPS, FedEx, and Amazon all have slightly different delivery windows, but 'out for delivery' generally means same-day.
- Be ready for a missed scan. Sometimes a package is delivered but the scan is delayed, so check your doorstep before assuming it's late.

What 'Out for Delivery' Really Means
'Out for delivery' is a tracking status that means your package has left the local distribution center and is on the delivery truck for the final leg to you. It's the last step before 'delivered,' and it signals that your package has been assigned to a driver who will attempt delivery that day.
This status is common across USPS, UPS, FedEx, and Amazon Logistics. When you see it, your package is physically on a vehicle heading toward your address. However, it doesn't guarantee a specific time—carriers typically deliver by day's end, but 'day's end' can vary from 5 PM to 9 PM depending on the route and volume.
It's also worth noting that sometimes the status updates late. Your package might be on the truck even if the tracking hasn't updated yet. [[does-usps-xray-packages-for-weed|USPS tracking]] can be imperfect, but 'out for delivery' is a strong signal that today is the day.
What to Do If Your Package Doesn't Arrive Today
If your package was marked 'out for delivery' but didn't show up, don't panic. Here's what to do:
- Wait until end of day. Carriers often deliver as late as 8–9 PM, so give it until then.
- Check the tracking again. Look for updates like 'delivery attempted,' 'delayed,' or 'back at facility.' These indicate a problem.
- Look around your property. Sometimes packages are left at a side door, garage, or with a neighbor. Check your mailbox and porch thoroughly.
- Contact the carrier. Call USPS, UPS, FedEx, or Amazon customer service with your tracking number. They can tell you if a delivery attempt was made or if there's a delay.
- File a claim if needed. If the package is lost, the carrier may offer a refund or replacement. For cannabis deliveries from us, contact us directly at (510) 200-9555—we're open 6 AM to 10 PM daily.

Why It Says 'Arriving Today' but Isn't 'Out for Delivery'
Seeing 'arriving today' without 'out for delivery' can be confusing. Here's why it happens and what to do:
- Check the time of day. Carriers may not update the status until the morning, so 'arriving today' might appear before the truck is loaded.
- Understand the difference. 'Arriving today' means the system predicts delivery today, but your package may still be at the local facility and hasn't been loaded on the delivery truck yet.
- Wait for the scan. The 'out for delivery' scan usually happens when the driver starts their route. If it's still early, just be patient.
- Watch for delays. If it stays 'arriving today' past the afternoon, there might be a delay. Contact the carrier if it doesn't update by evening.
This is common with USPS, which sometimes misses scans or updates tracking late. For a guaranteed timeline, consider our same-day delivery in Tracy—order by 7 PM and we'll get it to you today.
