In transit via Post NL UNREGISTERED DIRECT

What this status means

RR Donnelley has handed your parcel to PostNL, the Dutch postal service, which will carry it for the next leg. "UNREGISTERED DIRECT" appears to describe the handover method: the parcel travels as ordinary post without its own PostNL registration, so PostNL may not add many scans of its own.

Is my package delayed?

No. By itself this message is normal. It follows "Parcel Shipped", so the parcel has left RR Donnelley and is moving. The next message can look odd, though. The line that follows is usually "The shipping label has been created", which reads like an earlier step. It is most likely an order of updates in the tracking history, not a sign that the parcel went backwards.

What happens next

The next update is almost always "The shipping label has been created". After that, tracking depends on what the postal service reports. Updates can be sparse or arrive in a different order than you expect, because the parcel is not registered with PostNL.

What you can do

• Wait and check again later. A pause in updates is common with this kind of handover.
• If the status stays the same for longer than the earlier steps took, contact the seller who sent the order.
• Have your tracking number and order details ready.
• Ask RR Donnelley only if the seller cannot help.
