Status words can mean slightly different things depending on the stage. This glossary gives the general idea.
| Status | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Processing | The seller is preparing your item and has not handed it to a carrier. |
| Shipped | A carrier has the parcel or it has left the warehouse. |
| In transit | The parcel is moving between facilities or countries. |
| Customs | The parcel is being checked at a border. Updates may pause. |
| Out for delivery | A local carrier plans to deliver it today. |
| Delivered | The carrier recorded delivery. Check the exact location noted. |
How to use this
Compare the status with the dates shown on your order page. If a status has not changed for much longer than its normal range and the delivery estimate has passed, it is time to raise it with Temu.
Remember that different carriers use slightly different wording, so treat this as a guide, not a rulebook.
Independent guidance. TMGuide is not Temu. This article is general information. For decisions about your order, use the Temu app or Help Center.
