What Out for Delivery Means — Courier Status Guide

What out for delivery (OFD) means, when the agent usually arrives, why they ask for OTP, and what to do after a failed attempt.

Written by WhereIsMyOrder Team ·

Out for delivery (OFD) means your parcel has left the local hub and is with a delivery agent headed to your address today.

What you should do

  • Keep your phone reachable
  • Keep OTP / ID ready if the courier asks
  • Clear gate / society entry instructions

Most attempts happen the same business day — exact timing depends on the route and traffic.

If delivery fails

If the timeline shows a failed attempt or similar scan, you often get a next-day re-attempt or nearby pickup-point option. Track the latest status and check the newest scan.

Before the shipment goes RTO (return to origin), update your phone or address with marketplace support.
