what does it mean if your package is in transit

what does it mean if your package is in transit indicates that your shipment has left the origin facility and is en route to the destination, possibly passing through sorting centers or transfer hubs. This status means the carrier has the item and it’s being processed through its network, but has not yet reached the final delivery point. Carriers like USPS, FedEx, or UPS use this term to communicate that the package is actively moving, though no precise delivery date is guaranteed until the next scan. Extended time in transit could be due to logistics delays, weather, customs, or routing errors. Understanding this status helps recipients better manage expectations and reduces unnecessary support inquiries.
