When you are tracking a package and receive an update saying “crossing border and in transit to carrier hub”, it can be confusing to know exactly what is happening with your shipment. This article will explain the meaning behind this Landmark Global tracking status and give you an idea of what to expect next.
What Does “Crossing Border” Mean for My Package?
If you have received a “crossing border” update, it means that the shipment is in the process of moving from one country to another. For example, if your package originated in China and is destined for delivery in the US, it would cross the border when exiting China on its way to the destination country.
Crossing border” tracking updates usually mean the package has cleared export customs and inspections in the origin country and is now making its way towards the destination country’s entry point and border crossing. This status indicates progress – your package is moving closer to you!
Why Might My Package Say “In Transit to Carrier Hub”?
The “in transit to carrier hub” status means your package is on the way to a central sorting facility or transportation hub, often in the destination country. This hub is operated by the carrier or postal service responsible for the final delivery of your item.
Packages are sorted and grouped at hubs so they can be transported more efficiently to regional facilities and ultimately to local delivery channels. So “in transit to carrier hub” means your package is getting closer to the local trucks that will bring it to your door.
What Comes After “In Transit to Carrier Hub”?
Typically after arriving at the destination carrier hub, your package will undergo some sorting and processing. It may receive an “Arrived at facility” scan when entering the hub.
Then, it’s back on the road for transit from the hub to your local delivery unit. You’ll likely see a “Departed from facility” scan when it leaves the hub and is sent out for final delivery. The next update would be an “Out for delivery” alert when it’s on the local truck for final transportation to your address.
So in summary, “In transit to carrier hub” means your package is making good progress – it has entered the destination country postal flow and is being routed for last mile delivery.
