Forwarded to a third party agent

DHL Express tracking parcel

What this status means

DHL Express has handed your parcel to another delivery company, usually a local postal service or courier, that completes the final part of the journey in your area. The parcel has left DHL's own network at this point and is moving toward your address. The line can appear more than once, because the parcel may pass through more than one partner.

Is my package delayed?

No, this message by itself is normal. It is a routine handover and not an exception. The same message often appears twice in a row, which fits a parcel passing between partners. Updates from the local company can be sparser than DHL's own, so the history may look quiet for longer than the previous steps.

What happens next

Most often the next update is another handover with the same wording (about 40% of cases). After that, the usual outcomes are:

  • Delivered (about a quarter of cases)
  • Awaiting collection by the consignee, meaning the parcel is at a pickup point (about 13%)
  • Out for delivery (about 10%)

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking the tracking history. The local partner may take over the updates.
  • Check that your address and phone number in the order are correct, as the local company will use them to reach you.
  • If the status stays the same for longer than usual, ask DHL Express for the partner's name and a local tracking reference.
  • If DHL cannot help, contact the seller. Have your tracking number and order details ready.
