# What should I do if my order only shows a label created in UPS tracking?

A label created status usually means UPS has generated the label but has not scanned the package or posted an update yet. Orders often move quickly once picked up, even when tracking looks like it is lagging. Label created means the shipment is prepared but not yet scanned into the carrier network. The status updates as UPS picks up and processes the package. Tracking can appear stuck briefly even while the package is moving. If the expected date passes with no movement at all, contact the shipper with your order and tracking numbers so it can check with the carrier.

A label created status means UPS has the label but has not scanned the package yet, so wait for pickup scans and contact the shipper if the date passes.
