What this status means
"Scheduled for despatch" means Australia Post has your parcel at one of its facilities and has lined it up to leave on its next outbound transport. It is between sorting and departure. The parcel is inside the network, not yet on its way to a new location. It does not mean it is out for delivery today.
Is my package delayed?
This message by itself is normal. It is a routine step, and most parcels that show it move on to a processing or transit update. Only if the status stays the same for longer than the previous steps took should you treat it as a possible delay.
What happens next
Most often the next update is "Processed through facility", followed by another "In transit" entry or "Arrived at facility" as the parcel reaches its next stop. Less often you may see a further sorting scan. For international parcels, the next step can be "Cleared and awaiting international departure". In rare cases the parcel is placed on hold, shown as "Held - Awaiting further instructions".
What you can do
- Wait and check the tracking page again after the next scan.
- If the status has not changed for longer than usual, contact Australia Post with your tracking number.
- If the parcel shows as held, or the delay continues, ask the seller too. Have your order details and delivery address ready.
- Check that your delivery address in the order is correct.
