We continue to take apart the statuses on AliExpress that raise questions for buyers. Today we’re going to talk about the status “Object in transition – please wait”, which is not the most important for the buyer, but you still need to know what it means.
What does “Object in transition – please wait” mean on Aliexpress
Object in transition – please wait – delivery status indicates that the parcel is in transit (transport) from one sorting centre to another. It will then be sent for delivery to its destination.
This status is for information purposes and tells the buyer that the parcel is in transit and is OK. However, there are cases where the status Object in transit – please wait may imply a change in the shipping method. If this is the case, you will then see the status “Method of delivery changed, contact the carrier“. You can read more about this status in a separate article at the link above.
Many people get worried when the status is delayed by several days or even a week. This is perfectly normal, as the transport and order processing time is directly dependent on numerous factors. Including the workload of parcel sorting centres. As a result, the goods are delivered, you just need to wait for the next status. And the next status will be “Pending at pickup point“. If this status is assigned, it means that there is no problem with the parcel. Moreover, you can already go and pick up the long-awaited order.
How long do I have to wait for my parcel?
You may receive your order within a few days. As soon as the next “Waiting at pick-up location” status is assigned, you can already collect your purchase. The parcel is located in the recipient’s country. Therefore, we can confidently say that you will receive your parcel with the status “Object in transit – please wait” within 1-2 weeks. In fact you just need to wait until the order arrives from the sorting centre to the post office.
