what is meant by in transit refers to the status of a package or shipment that is on its way to the delivery destination. This term is often used by shipping carriers such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx to indicate that a package is no longer at the origin or sorting facility but is actively being transported to the destination. The “in transit” status is commonly updated during different stages of the journey and helps customers track their packages in real time. Once the package arrives at the final facility, it will be marked for delivery.
