However, carriers are susceptible to the same every day annoyances as the rest of us, including heavy traffic and weather-related road and airline closures. If your package is on its way to you but is moving slower than expected, the carrier may re-evaluate when it thinks it can get the package to you.
It depends on which shipping service you purchased. For example, USPS Retail Ground shipping is expected to take 2 to 8 days, so seeing an in transit status for more than a week is normal, especially if you live in a remote location or your package is in transit during busy holiday shipping seasons.
The retailer you purchased from can give you a more accurate estimate of how many days your order will be in transit. Ready to Go means that your package was prepared by your seller but hasn't been picked up by the carrier yet - it's ready to leave the warehouse! Your order will be marked Available for Pickup when the carrier has elected to hold your package at a local facility rather than deliver it to your address.
This often happens when the package requires a signature but no one was home to sign for it. You will typically receive a sticky note on your door or mailbox with information about your package that is Available for Pickup, including which facility you need to visit to pickup your package.
Usually, USPS will have your package at the nearest post office while Fedex, UPS and other carriers will have the package at one of their nearby stores. Out for Delivery means that your package has been placed onto a local delivery truck to be taken to its final destination by the driver.
When a package is out for delivery, it is usually delivered within the next 12 hours. Either way an out for delivery status typically indicates the carrier intends to deliver your package that day. However, delivery drivers can only legally work so many hours in a week and are subject to traffic delays and freak accidents just like the rest of us.
If a driver reaches the end of his or her work day and your package is still on the delivery vehicle, your driver, vehicle and unfortunately your package will all return to where they started to try again tomorrow.
You should contact the carrier for more information and help locating your package. Carriers do not publicly share information about the routes their delivery vehicles take, for both safety and logistical reasons. Package delivery data is usually quite reliable — if a package is marked delivered it was most likely delivered somewhere.
In some rare cases a package could be marked as delivered before your delivery driver has had the opportunity to leave it at your address.
If they are unable to help, contact the seller who sent the package. Tracking numbers are public information — anyone with the tracking number is free to receive information about the status of the shipment. For this reason carriers typically do NOT include sensitive information like street addresses, recipient names or contents of the package on their tracking pages. This international freight shipping transit time calculator gives estimated shipping time for blended inland trucking, air and ocean freight, to give a comprehensive freight shipping time estimate.
Freight shipping transit time is impacted by factors including distance, shipping mode, route, and season.
In very rough estimates: express can take as little as days, air freight is typically days, and sea shipping can range anywhere from days or more. Why is there such a wide range in shipment duration when shipping by sea? Because there are a lot of ways to ship. A Network Distribution Center NDC is a highly mechanized mail processing plant of the United States Postal Service that distributes standard mail and package services in piece and bulk form. What's also worked for people in the past when they had a stuck package is to submit a USPS customer service form for a shipment problem.
It just could be that within a day, your package would be located and sent on to its destination. A package could have become stuck in transit because it was stopped at a border crossing, in a vehicle accident, because a blizzard has stopped traffic, or any number of other things which would slow down the movement of the courier vehicle.
Usually, the tracking system indicates if the package is stuck in transit. If the parcel has not moved for some time now, then most likely some of the above mention reasons have occurred. It is important to note that the tracking statuses can sometimes take up to hours to be updated, so do not panic yet if your parcel has not changed its status yet.
There are some ways that you can get more information about what has actually caused your shipment to stop moving. Sometimes a courier company will have a way to access a more detailed report online, where you will be able to access any additional information if it exists. On the other hand, you may need to call the company directly. It is important to keep in mind that the estimated delivery time is exactly that, an estimation.
It is an average calculated based on the time it usually takes to a given courier company to bring a package to its destination. Your package is still within the courier network and, unless otherwise noted, should be delivered. There may be several days between scans if the shipment is going cross-country or moving between countries or territories.
It can be a little unusual to not see further scans on your parcelthough it should still be in transit and will catch up with scans soon. Once an item is posted, it's on the move, just might've missed the initial processing track events. Packages in the FedEx system receive scans at various points between pickup and delivery.
It is not unusual for a package to go for more than 24 hours without a scan while in transit — your package may be traveling as intended. If there are no scans for the tracking number entered, contact your shipper to verify the tracking number is correct. If you are the shipper, and it has been more than 24 hours since you dropped off the shipment or had the shipment picked up, please contact Customer Service at Understand also that Fedex. I know this has further exasperated the delays.
The delays are with the volumes and trailers getting backed up and not getting worked as they usually do. These type items are experiencing even greater delays. It's easy to get anxious if your UPS tracking status says "In Transit: Please check back later for scheduled delivery" or "Your package has been delayed due to events beyond our control" with no further updates.
Don't worry yet, patience is the key. All the shipping companies are slammed because of all the volume. Give it a day or two and see if it clears up. Cited from UPS. For all U.
