It means that something happened to delay the delivery of the package. It could be anything... I get them alot. Most of the time, either the person wasn't there to sign for the package, or the UPS guy couldn't find the address. It happens alot with apartment complexes. Sometimes they need a code to get into the complex, so they can't deliver it. Your tracking number should say exactly what happened.
