What this status means
Deutsche Post is getting your parcel ready to travel by air. It is at a sorting or export facility, being sorted and loaded for a flight. "With stopover" means the route is not direct: the parcel will change planes or pass through another airport on the way to the destination country.
Is my package delayed?
No. This message by itself is a normal step for international parcels and does not point to a problem. Parcels on routes with a stopover often spend longer between scans than on a domestic trip, because they wait for a flight and a connection. Only if the tracking stays unchanged for longer than the previous steps took does it become worth a closer look.
What happens next
- The parcel is handed over to the airline and flown to the stopover airport.
- It is then transferred onto the onward flight to the destination country.
- After landing, it goes through import handling and customs, and is passed to the local delivery network.
What you can do
- Wait and keep checking the tracking history. Updates may be slow while the parcel is in the air.
- If nothing changes for noticeably longer than the earlier steps, ask the seller first. They can query the shipment with Deutsche Post.
- Have your tracking number and order details ready when you contact them.
- Be aware that customs duties or fees may apply once the parcel reaches the destination country.
