International Shopping Advice and Tips

The term "in transit" typically refers to a package, shipment, or other item that is currently en route to its destination. When a package or shipment is marked as "in transit" on Shein and other online shopping sites, it means that it has been picked up by a shipping carrier and is currently being transported from its point of origin to its final destination. During this time, the package may be processed through various sorting facilities and transportation hubs before being delivered to its intended recipient.

Other Common Shipping Terms:
Processing – The order has been received and is being prepared for shipment.
Shipped – The package has left the warehouse and is en route.
Out for Delivery – The package is with the local delivery carrier and should arrive soon.
Delivered – The package has been successfully dropped off at its destination.
Pending – There is a delay in transit, often due to weather, customs, or logistical issues.
Exception – There is an unexpected delay (e.g., an incorrect address or damaged package).
Return to Sender – The package could not be delivered and is being sent back to the sender.
Customs Clearance – The package is being inspected by customs authorities in an international shipment.
Hold at Location – The package is being kept at a designated location for pickup instead of home delivery.
