Forwarded for delivery does not mean out for delivery. While they may sound similar, they have slightly different meanings in the context of package delivery.
When a package is marked as forwarded for delivery, it means that the package was originally addressed to one location, but has been redirected or forwarded to a new address. This usually happens when the recipient has moved or provided an incorrect address initially. The package is being sent from the original location to the new address specified.
On the other hand, when a package is marked as out for delivery, it means that the package is currently with the carrier and is out on the delivery route. It is in the final stages of the delivery process and is expected to be delivered to the recipient’s address on that day.
To illustrate this further, let me share a personal experience. I recently moved to a new city and had ordered a package to be delivered to my old address. However, I realized my mistake and contacted the shipping company to change the delivery address. They then marked the package as forwarded for delivery and arranged for it to be sent to my new address. Once the package reached my new city, it was then marked as out for delivery, and I received it later that day.
Forwarded for delivery means that the package has been redirected to a new address, while out for delivery means that the package is currently being delivered to the recipient’s address.
