The shipment is being prepared for air transport and loaded into a shipping container. Transport journey with stopover
Deutsche Post tracking parcelWhat this status means
Deutsche Post has finished handling your parcel in the departure country and is getting it ready to fly. It is being packed into a shipping container for air transport. The "stopover" part means the journey includes at least one intermediate airport before the final destination. The parcel is at an airport or cargo handling facility, not yet in the air.
Is my package delayed?
No, this message by itself is normal. It is a routine step in international air shipping. The previous step was the flight booking, and most often the next one is the departure on a flight. Only if the parcel stays on this line for longer than the previous steps is it worth looking closer.
What happens next
In about three quarters of cases the next update is "Departure on flight". Less often the parcel is booked onto an aircraft again, or the original transport journey is cancelled and the parcel is moved to a new one. That sounds worrying but is usually just a rebooking. Some parcels move on to arrival in the destination country or at the office of exchange, where customs handling starts.
What you can do
- Wait and check the tracking history again after a while. Updates can lag behind the parcel's real position.
- If the status does not change for longer than usual, ask the seller first, as they handled the shipment.
- If needed, contact Deutsche Post with your tracking number and order details.
- Be aware that customs duties may apply once the parcel arrives in the destination country.
