DHL Express

Shipment arrived at incorrect facility. It will be sent to the correct destination for delivery

DHL Express tracking parcel

What this status means

DHL Express scanned your parcel at a facility that is not on its route to you. It was most likely sorted onto the wrong onward path or unloaded at the wrong hub. The parcel is safe and in DHL's network, and it is now being sent to the correct facility so it can continue toward your address.

Is my package delayed?

This is an exception, but usually a minor one. A detour to the right facility adds a step, so delivery may take longer than the earlier steps suggested. It does not normally mean the parcel is lost or damaged. Most of the time the next update is a normal "Processed" scan, which shows the parcel is moving again.

What happens next

  • In about six in ten cases, the next update is "Processed" as the parcel leaves for the right place.
  • Less often, it shows another sort facility scan or goes straight out for delivery.
  • Sometimes a payment or customs step appears first, if fees or clearance apply to your shipment.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking the tracking history for a new scan.
  • If nothing changes for longer than the previous steps took, contact DHL Express with your tracking number.
  • If you bought from a seller or marketplace, ask them to raise an inquiry with DHL. Have your order details ready.
  • Check that the delivery address on your order is correct and complete.
