Understanding your shipment statuses

What each status on your Shippsy dashboard means — from Pending Details through Ready for Pickup — and what (if anything) you need to do next.

Every shipment on your dashboard shows a status that tells you where your package is and whether we're waiting on you. Here's what each one means.

Statuses where we're doing the work

StatusWhat it means
ProcessingWe're reviewing the details you provided. This usually completes quickly; if anything doesn't match your invoice, we'll send it back to you with a note explaining what to fix.
En route to CA / In TransitYour shipment is on its way to the border and through customs.
Delivery in ProgressYou chose Mail Out — your package is with the carrier, on its way to your door. You can track it from the shipment's details.

Done

StatusWhat it means
Ready for PickupPaid and waiting for you at your branch. Bring your order sheet (or show the barcode in the app). See How do I pick up my package?
Order CompletePicked up, delivered, returned, or disposed — nothing left to do.

Why does my shipment say "(Processing)" even though it's in Canada?

A shipment can arrive in Canada before CBSA finalizes its duty and tax amounts, or before it reaches your destination branch. The Pay button appears as soon as both are confirmed — usually within a day of arrival. If it's been longer, see Pay Button not showing.
