A delivery will pass through several key states before making it into your hot little hands and Shippit will automatically send you notifications along the journey.

You'll notice that your item will have already passed through a couple of states before you received a notification from us to track your item. The time your order spends in these states is dependent upon the order fulfilment process of the store you purchased your item from.
