shipping update

Package status message

A shipping update is a notification about the status or location of a package in transit.

Carriers send shipping updates when items are picked up, arrive at sorting facilities, go out for delivery, or encounter delays: I got a shipping update saying my package is in Memphis.

The term also applies to announcements from online sellers about order fulfillment.
