what is in transit refers to a shipment that is currently on its way to its final destination but has not yet arrived. When an item is in transit, it is being transported by a carrier, such as USPS, UPS, or FedEx, and is usually at various stages of its journey, such as being processed in sorting facilities or on its way to a delivery hub. “In transit” status can be tracked through shipping carriers’ tracking systems, allowing customers to monitor the movement of their packages. The transit period can vary depending on the shipping method, distance, and any delays that may occur during the delivery process.
