MESQUITE, TX US

I dropped this package off at the UPS store on Monday morning, but yeah. What does that mean? I'm assuming it doesn't mean it's at the destination yet because it still says IN TRANSIT. Anybody know?

Answer 1

Is the destination you intended in the city of mesquite. It depends, I used the work for UPS, did the package require a signature, or confirmation needed. That could mean the for some reason the package was received by ups but not delivered due to no signature, no one home, or that it has been delivered but info has not been downloaded to the hub.

Answer 2

Normally, that means the package is at its final resting place before being delivered to its destination. I.E. It wont be heading to another warehouse, it will be put on a truck for delivery next.
