Shipment Status Flow — The lifecycle statuses every courier maps onto: Booked → Pickup Pending → Picked Up → In Transit → OFD → Delivered (or NDR → RTO).

Why it matters to your store

Customers read 'in transit' as stuck after 48 hours. Mapping raw carrier scans into clean store-visible statuses is what makes tracking feel trustworthy.

This is the vocabulary every courier invoice, NDR report and rate card is written in — learn it once, save money forever.

The bottom line

Shipping jargon is really just the billing manual in disguise — every term on this list maps to a line on an invoice or a lever on your margins. Pakka Parcel is built so you rarely have to think about it: statuses normalise, bills reconcile, and quotes already include the surcharges.
