What out for delivery means

The parcel left the local hub with a delivery agent for your address that day. Keep your phone reachable and OTP / ID ready if the courier asks.

How long does OFD usually take?

Most attempts happen the same business day. Timing depends on route load, traffic, and whether an OTP or call is required.

Evening OFD scans

Some routes attempt late in the day. If OFD remains overnight, expect a re-attempt or hub hold the next working day.

If it stays OFD or fails

A failed attempt often leads to a re-attempt or pickup from a nearby point. Check the latest scan below and confirm phone/address with the marketplace if needed.
