what does it mean when something is in transit

what does it mean when something is in transit means that the package is on its way to the destination and is currently being processed or transported by the carrier. This status indicates that the item has been picked up and is en route but has not yet reached the final delivery stage. It may be traveling through multiple facilities, being sorted, or awaiting the next step in the delivery process. Customers can typically track in-transit packages for real-time updates on location and estimated delivery time.
