Shipment Statuses and Sub Statuses Explained

Overview

The focus of this article is to share information regarding all the shipping statuses and their sub-statuses that are provided by Rush. These shipping statuses are displayed when an order gets fulfilled or is on its way to the buyer. The shipping status changes from Pending, to Pre-Transit  to In transit , Out for delivery to Failed attempt or Delivered as per the order’s current situation. The purpose of giving out all these shipping statuses and their respective sub-statuses is to keep the buyers informed of the different stages the shipment is in at the moment. Another reason is for merchants and their customer support to be able to take action based on those statuses. This way, the tracking process gets easier and if a problem arises, it can be handled immediately.
