Why does a Shein package get the “Arrived at Local Facility” Update?
Reached the Required Location
If you have got this update, it means the package(or consignment) has arrived the the required location where it was supposed to reach. The package has finally arrived at the local facility and within a few working days, it will delivered to the recipient’s address.
Sorting for Last Mile Delivery
Once the package has arrived at the local facility here, it will be sorted and processed for the final delivery attempt. It usually means the package will be put together with the other packages that are destined for delivery in the same area.
Tracking Progress
Receiving this update also means that your package is making progress and is getting closer to you day by day. It helps to keep the customer informed that their package is making progress without having any issues and very soon it will be delivered to their home address.
How long do I have to wait to get my package after the update?
In normal scenarios, you can expect your package to get delivered within a week or two if you are using the standard shipping option. But if you have used the express delivery option then your package may get delivered within 5 days, if all the things remain alright.
Keep in mind, that several factors can influence the delivery time of a package like weather conditions in the delivery area, logistics issues, and delays in Customs clearance. If it’s not a time-sensitive package then be patient for at least two to three working days as most of the packages get delivered if they are delayed due to any reason.
Here is an ideal time frame if you are living in a city or an urban area then you may expect your package to get delivered within a week but if you are living in a far-off secluded area then it may take up to 10 days or even more to get your package delivered to you.
Why does a package remain stuck at the “arrived” update for too long?
There can be a lot of reasons why a package remains stuck on this update for too long . Here we have provided a brief overview of certain reasons that can help you understand it more clearly.
Backlog Issue
If the sorting facility is experiencing the issue of backlogs then unfortunately your package remains stuck on this update until the entire backlog queue is cleared and your package finally gets scanned and processed.
Sometimes the shipping carrier might send your package to another facility where it will be scanned and released back to its designated route to cope with the issue.
Scanning Error
Many instances have been reported where the package is moving on its way to reach the recipient’s address while the tracking status of the package remains stuck on the same issue. This often confuses the final recipient to think that there is something wrong with their package.
It happened mostly because of a scanning error or if there was some technical glitch within the server of the shipping carrier.
Logistics Issue
Although it happens very rarely, if there is something wrong with the logistics then your package will show you the same status until it gets fixed. Most of the deliveries are done with the help of delivery trucks and sometimes these trucks get broken down there by halting the entire process of delivering the package.
If the truck is damaged severely then the rescued delivery truck will be called and all the packages will be loaded on it to resume the normal delivery operations. However, during this whole timeframe, the tracking status of your package will remain stuck on this issue until it gets resolved.
Inclement Weather Condition
Sometimes bad weather conditions can also be the reason why your package status remains stuck on the same update. Severe conditions like heavy downpours, snowfall, and tornados nearly make it impossible for the package to keep on moving in the affected area.
These types of issues are beyond the carrier’s control and if you face anything like that then you have to wait until the weather clears up and all the normal delivery operations resume.
Package is Lost
Although it happens very rarely if your package status remains stuck for weeks without showing any sign of progression it might mean your package has either been lost or damaged at the facility.
If you think that’s the case with your Pakistan you need to contact your shipping carrier and ask them what’s wrong with your package. If your package has been lost or stolen then you can claim a full refund for your package
What To Do After You Have Got the Update?
Verify Your Delivery Address
Make sure you have provided the correct delivery address otherwise, your package won’t be delivered to you on time. If you have made a mistake in the address then reach out to your shipping carrier and provide them with the correct address so that your package can get delivered without any delay.
Track The Progress
If everything seems to be alright then you need to track the progress of your package. It will keep you updated about where your package has arrived and how long it will take to get delivered to your address.
Contact Shein Customer Care
If your package is getting delayed or its status seems stuck, then you need to contact the shein customer care and ask them ‘what’s wrong with your package’. Generally, in most cases, your issue will be resolved within a few working days.
