What is what does it mean when your order is shipped?

When your order is marked as "shipped," it means the seller has completed the process of preparing your order for delivery and has handed it over to a shipping%20carrier (like USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc.).

Here's a breakdown of what that typically implies:

  • Package is on its way: The seller is no longer in possession of your order. It is in transit with the carrier.
  • Tracking number issued: You will usually receive a tracking%20number which allows you to monitor the progress of your package's journey to your address.
  • Estimated delivery time: The shipping notification might provide an estimated%20delivery%20date, although this is subject to change based on the carrier's schedule and potential delays.
  • Delivery responsibility shifts: The carrier now assumes responsibility for the package's safe and timely arrival. Issues encountered during delivery are generally handled by the carrier (although you may still need to contact the seller for assistance).
