undelivered
Still in transit
Undelivered describes something that was not successfully conveyed to its intended recipient.
Mail returned as undelivered never reached its destination.
The undelivered packages sat in the warehouse.
The term extends beyond physical objects: an undelivered message, an undelivered promise, an undelivered speech that was written but never given.
