Every online purchase shipped to the recipient will be updated to “delivered.” In shipping terms, “delivered” means the package has been successfully received by the buyer. The shipment status is displayed to make it easier for buyers to track the package’s location.
In addition to “shipped,” other shipping statuses include “in transit,” “in process,” “being shipped,” “pickup,” and “on hold.” Delivery times vary depending on the shipping service used. It’s important for you, as a buyer, to learn more about the “shipped” status and the others.
"Delivered": Meaning and Other Shipping Statuses
Local shipping services commonly used by the public, such as JNE and SiCepat, have their own specific terms to indicate a package’s progress. These terms are often used in English, so it’s important to look up their meanings to avoid guesswork.
Below are examples of package shipping statuses from JNE and SiCepat along with their meanings:

How long does it take for a package to be delivered?
Now you know that “shipped” means the package has been successfully delivered by the courier to the destination address and received by the buyer. Delivery time depends on the destination address and the speed of the shipping provider.
The estimated time required for the package status to change to “delivered” depends on the service category offered by the shipping company. Generally, the breakdown is as follows:
- Same-day delivery service takes less than 24 hours to deliver the package to the recipient;
- "Next-day" service guarantees that the package will be delivered to the recipient the following day;
- Regular service takes about 2–4 days, depending on the distance to the destination;
- Standard or economy service takes 5 to 14 days, depending on the destination city;
- Cash on delivery takes less than 8 hours, especially for intra-city deliveries;
Delivery to the destination address takes about 2–5 days.
What should you do if a package shows “Delivered” but hasn’t arrived?
"Delivered" means the package has reached its destination and has been received by the customer; however, sometimes there are issues that prevent the package from actually arriving. If you encounter this, how should you handle it?
A parcel status showing "delivered" when checking the tracking number means the parcel has been received. If this is not the case, you can take the following steps:
- Contact the call center of the shipping service provider you used to find out the actual status of the package;
- Visit the nearest shipping service agent to inquire directly with customer service about the undelivered package.
Delays in package delivery usually occur for a reason. Some possible causes include:
- An error in the tracking system, causing it to display a status that does not match the actual delivery progress;
- The package was returned to the JNE warehouse because the courier was unable to contact you when the item was shipped.
It’s clear that “delivered” refers to the delivery status, indicating that the item has been received by the buyer without any issues. Shipping providers often use this term to display the tracking number in tracking results.
