departing the facility. They are destined to arrive at one of Fedex’s sorting facilities somewhere in the United States, but they haven’t moved on from their origin yet.
The shipment is currently being held in an originating country or region, though it has not left for its destination (United States). If a package was “out for delivery,” this would mean that it had already arrived at its final destination sorting facility. This is usually good news because packages take about just 1 day to get “out for delivery.” Packages which show as “in-transit” may typically take anywhere from 3 days up to 10 days.
There are three types of delivery status that a package can be in:
1. It’s still in transit and should arrive before the expiration date given by FedEx.
2. It was delivered and has been transferred to another facility, but it hasn’t shipped out yet post-delivery processing so this is where it will stay until the package ships back out again on its next destination point run.
3. The item was delivered, and has been processed at FedEx’s terminal or a customer self-service location which means its currently being prepared for pickup by the recipient or waiting for an appointment week for shipping back to you.
FedEx Tracking is not a location tracker.
It will show “In Transit” until it arrives at the facility that handles your delivery.
Anyone with information not shown, please contact FedEx Corporate Communications for clarification on any aspect of the tracking process. The only way to know when your package has been delivered is by checking with the recipient; we do not provide tracking for packages once they have been delivered to their destination address. For this reason, customers can use other shipment networks such as UPS and USPS tracking services
“In transit” is when a shipment goes out for delivery.
A shipment leaves the FedEx Sort Facility and moves to a service center where it undergoes processing before shipping. Arriving at that center, “in transit” means this has happened but the order is not yet complete and often will require an additional stop at another facility later in its journey to be completed.
It means that the package has been signed for by FedEx and is currently in transit.
The tracking process works as follows: Fedex first receives your shipment, it scans a list of inventory items to ensure nothing was lost or compromised. Secondly, they will calculate the total weight and dimensions of the package before giving you a price quote on shipping. Once this information is gathered, they create an email with a courier order despatched notification with all the pertinent information like tracking number assigned and consignment details.
It means that the package has been accepted by FedEx and will get on its way to you soon.
The Package was accepted and is in transit which usually means it’s on its way. This status can also mean that your shipment is being processed through your destination country, though; this commonly happens when shipments cross international borders as well as nationwide. When packages are at our US origin facility, we’ll list them as Accepted and Out for Delivery.”
If the delivery date listed on your tracking number shows two days remaining until delivery, then we’ve received all our necessary deliveries from locations around the world, completed back office processing and scheduled residential pickups with local carriers for today or tomorrow.”
When an item is “in transit,” it means that FedEx, the carrier, has both accepted the shipment and should be delivering it soon. The customer can also check when the package will depart their destination.
If it’s out of transit for more than a day or two, there may not be any way to find out what happened to your package – unless you used some kind of app that tracks packages.
It means that the package is moving from one “zone” to another. When a package moves from one state to another, it generally leaves FedEx Ground before going into transit.
The first and most basic zone is home, which usually includes your (or your shipment’s) address, the depot, and any other locations registered on your account with us. Being in transit means either traveling between various postal zones or being delayed at an airport awaiting pickup or delivery from our courier service. The following listing of zones lists their associated examples:
Home – Shipping Address Domain; Depot Domain; Registered Location Domain
In Transit – Moving From One Zone To Another
The goods are in transit from the time they leave the boarder of US and know it is following a pre-prescribed route to its destination. The goods are still in transportation, so do not refer to as there when delivered; after delivery. Ie. Words like “in transit” are often used for shipping etc but means it has not yet reached its final point of being delivered on that journey where it will be then called “delivered”. One might say “I am going into town”, which does NOT mean that he is entering a town/city/place, but rather heading thither either by car or on foot.
