shipping delay
Package arriving late
A shipping delay is when goods take longer to arrive than expected or promised.
The term appears constantly in e-commerce and logistics: We're experiencing shipping delays due to weather.
Delays may stem from carrier issues, customs processing, inventory problems, or peak-season volume.
Companies often notify customers of shipping delays preemptively to manage expectations.
