Have you ever tracked a package and seen the status “Offered to Delivery Provider”? If so, you’ve probably wondered what that means. This tracking status means that the original delivery service has handed over your package to a partner for final delivery. This article explains what to expect next and when you should take action. We’ll also cover similar statuses from different carriers so you understand what’s happening with your package, regardless of which company delivers it.
“Offered to a delivery service provider” means that the original carrier forwarded your package to a partner – usually USPS – to make the final delivery to your home. This is a sign that your package is on the last leg of its journey. You will usually receive it within 3-7 days after you see this status.
