Shipment Statuses and Sub Statuses Explained ​

Overview ​

This article provides information on the shipping statuses and their sub-statuses offered by Rush. These statuses are used to track the progress of an order from fulfillment to delivery. The shipment status changes from Pending to Pre-Transit, then to In Transit, Out for Delivery, Failed Attempt, or Delivered based on the order’s current situation. This detailed information helps buyers stay informed about their shipments and enables merchants and customer support to take action based on the status, facilitating an easier tracking process and prompt resolution of any issues.
