Understanding Farex Shipment Statuses
As your consignment moves through sorting facilities and linehaul transit, its status is scanned into the central network. Here is what each milestone checkpoint indicates:
| Status Milestone | Detailed Explanation | Next Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| Shipment Created / Picked Up | The shipment has been picked up from the merchant or sender and registered in the Farex logistics network. | Ensure the recipient's phone number and complete UAE or GCC delivery address are verified. |
| Sorted at Dubai Central Hub | Package has arrived at Farex's central processing hub in Dubai for barcode scanning, weighing, and routing. | Monitor domestic or cross-border linehaul dispatch. |
| In Linehaul / GCC Overland Transit | Shipment is in transit on scheduled linehaul trucks traveling across UAE emirates or through GCC border customs. | Allow standard border clearance windows for cross-border overland routes. |
| Customs Cleared at Border | Cross-border consignment has cleared regional customs inspections (e.g., Batha border for Saudi Arabia, Hatta for Oman). | Ensure any destination customs duties or VAT are settled if applicable. |
| Out for Final Mile Delivery | The package is with the local Farex delivery driver en route to the recipient's home or commercial office. | Keep your mobile phone accessible for the delivery driver's arrival call or WhatsApp location request. |
| Delivered / Handed Over | Package has been successfully delivered and an electronic signature or OTP confirmation captured. | Inspect delivered items and retain your delivery confirmation. |
