in-transit

in-transit is a term used to describe the status of a package that is en route to its final destination. When a shipment is marked as “in transit,” it means that the item has left the sender’s location or processing center and is being transported through various stages of the delivery network. This status can be updated multiple times during the journey, indicating the different checkpoints the package goes through before it reaches the recipient. “In transit” is a common tracking update and typically precedes delivery confirmation.
