  1. Pending
    This status indicates that the parcel has been accepted by Fastway South Africa but has not yet been processed. It’s common right after the order is placed or the package is handed over to the courier.
  2. In Transit
    When your parcel is in transit, it means that it is on its way to the destination. It may be at various transit points along the route. This status can last several days depending on the distance and logistics involved.
  3. Out for Delivery
    This status means that the parcel is with a courier and is on the way to the final delivery address. Expect delivery soon, usually within the same day.
  4. Delivered
    Once your package has been successfully delivered to the recipient, the status will update to "Delivered." You should also receive confirmation, often including the delivery time and a signature from the recipient.
  5. Attempted Delivery
    If the courier attempts to deliver the parcel but is unable to do so (e.g., no one is home to receive it), the status will show "Attempted Delivery." In this case, the courier will typically leave a notice with instructions on how to reschedule delivery or pick up the package.
  6. Held for Pickup
    Sometimes parcels are held at a local Fastway depot or retail outlet for the recipient to collect. This status indicates that the package is waiting for you to pick it up, often due to an unsuccessful delivery attempt.
  7. Exception
    This status indicates that there is an issue with your delivery that prevents it from proceeding normally. This could be due to various reasons, such as incorrect address details or customs clearance issues. You should contact customer service for more information on how to resolve the exception.
  8. Returned to Sender
    If the delivery cannot be completed for various reasons (e.g., the recipient refuses the package, or it cannot be delivered after multiple attempts), the status will show "Returned to Sender." The parcel will be sent back to the original sender.
  9. Cancelled
    This status indicates that the shipment has been cancelled, either by the sender or by Fastway South Africa due to unforeseen circumstances.
  10. Completed
    When all delivery processes are finalized, and there are no further actions needed, the status will be updated to "Completed." This signifies that the tracking process is concluded.
