what does fedex mean by in transit refers to the status of a package that is currently on its way to the destination, but has not yet been delivered. When FedEx marks a package as “in transit,” it indicates that it is either moving through various distribution hubs or is in the final leg of the journey. This status is commonly seen on tracking systems and means that the package is actively being shipped, but it’s not yet out for delivery. It is a standard status during the shipping process until the package reaches the local facility for delivery.
