unexpedited
Taking its time
Unexpedited describes something that has not been given priority or accelerated handling.
When a shipment or process is unexpedited, it moves at standard speed rather than being rushed.
The term appears most often in shipping and bureaucratic contexts, where paying extra for expedited service is common: The unexpedited package took two weeks to arrive.
It functions as the straightforward negation of expedited.
