The following is by mimicking of this UPS tracking site. The json parser used is jsonconverter.bas: Download raw code from here and add to standard module called jsonConverter . You then need to go VBE > Tools > References > Add reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime.

Option Explicit

Public Sub test()

    Debug.Print GetUPSDeliveryDate("1Z740YX80140148107")

End Sub
Public Function GetUPSDeliveryDate(ByVal id As String) As String
    Dim body As String, json As Object
    body = "{""Locale"":""en_US"",""TrackingNumber"":[""" & id & """]}"
    With CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
        .Open "POST", "https://www.ups.com/track/api/Track/GetStatus?loc=en_US", False
        .setRequestHeader "Referer", "https://www.ups.com/track?loc=en_US&requester=ST/"
        .setRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0"
        .setRequestHeader "DNT", "1"
        .setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/json"
        .setRequestHeader "Accept", "application/json, text/plain, */*"
        .send body
        Set json = JsonConverter.ParseJson(.responseText)
    End With
    If json("trackDetails")(1)("packageStatus") = "Delivered" Then
        GetUPSDeliveryDate = json("trackDetails")(1)("deliveredDate")
    Else
        GetUPSDeliveryDate = "Not yet delivered"
    End If
End Function
