(fairly self explanatory)

Answer 3

Answer 4

It means it's somewhere between point A and point B. "In transit" means just that.

Answer 5

You aren't going to get it today. In transit means it is between the warehouse that shipped it and the warehouse that is going to send it to your home. Usually transit only takes a day or two at the most. You should have it in the next couple days. Hope everything works out.

Answer 6

It hasn't been delivered yet - it's on the way - "in transit"

Answer 7

It's between terminals i.e. on the road or in the air somewhere if going by airmail.  It is NOT in a warehouse.  It has to reach the warehouse/terminal near your location before it can be delivered to you.  If it is going by UPS, at this stage the tracking information will state "out for delivery."  I imagine other carriers have something similar.  Sometimes the tracking information is a little behind so it is not unusual for it to go from being in transit to at a terminal to out for delivery in one day, especially if you check too early in the morning.  If you get afternoon deliveries you could possibly get it the same day but I wouldn't bet on it, unless you check again and it's out for delivery.

Answer 8

It means it is on it's way by whatever manner of transport that company uses> If you have not got it say from in UK within say 48/72  hours I would raise the matter again. This is because it is lost or someone may (perhaps in good faith) telling porky pies
