Austrian Post

Item handed over at the airport

Austrian Post tracking parcel

What this status means

Austrian Post has handed your parcel over to the airline or an airport handling agent. It has left Austrian Post's own network and is now with the carrier that will fly it out of Austria. This step usually follows "Item forwarded to destination country", which marks the end of export processing in Austria.

Is my package delayed?

No. This message by itself is normal and is a routine step for international parcels. It does not point to a problem. Tracking can go quiet while the parcel is in the air, and that is expected.

What happens next

Most often the next update is "Item arrived in country of destination", which means the flight is complete and the parcel has reached the destination country. After that it may be sorted locally or go through customs. In rare cases it appears first in a sorting facility or in the customs declaration process.

What you can do

  • Wait and check the tracking again later. The next scan often comes from the destination country's postal service.
  • If the status stays the same for longer than usual, contact Austrian Post or the seller and ask them to check with the airline handler.
  • Have your tracking number and order details ready.
  • Once the parcel is in your country, customs duties or fees may apply. Keep an eye out for notices about them.
