what’s transit

what’s transit in shipping and logistics refers to the period during which a package or shipment is being transported from the sender to the recipient. When an order is marked as “in transit,” it means it has been dispatched and is en route but hasn’t yet arrived at its final destination. This stage may involve multiple handovers between warehouses, customs checkpoints, and couriers. Transit duration depends on the shipping method, origin and destination countries, and any interruptions in the logistics network. Monitoring tracking updates during transit helps customers stay informed and prepare for delivery. In international shipping, transit times are typically longer due to customs and overseas logistics coordination.
