The network files a short code with every scan and prints its wording in the language the page was
asked for. A few of them read differently from what they mean.
- Shipment data received
-
The shop registered the shipment and DHL has its data, but nothing has been handed over yet.
This scan is filed under head office rather than a province, so it names no place.
- Arrived at / In transit in / Departed from
-
The depot scans, which the page completes with the province that filed them — "Arrived at
Valencia". Track91 keeps arrival, processing and departure apart, because the shipment's route
is built from that distinction.
- Out for delivery
-
The parcel is on a van for the address today. Expect a delivery, a failed attempt or a
diversion to a ServicePoint before the day ends. A separate scan is filed if the driver rings
ahead.
- The delivery could not be made due to consignee absent
-
Nobody was at the address. The parcel goes back to the depot and is normally attempted again
the next working day, or diverted to a nearby ServicePoint. A closed-premises scan means the
same thing for a business address.
- Parcel will be delivered to a DHL ServicePoint
-
The destination has changed to a ServicePoint shop. A second scan says the parcel is on its
way there, and a third says it has arrived and is waiting. Only the last of those means you
can go and collect it.
- Delivered to DHL ServicePoint, ready for collection
-
Despite the word delivered, this is not a delivery: the parcel is waiting in the shop for you.
Track91 shows the shop's name, street and postcode, and marks the shipment as ready for
collection rather than complete.
- Parcel picked up by recipient
-
You collected the parcel from the ServicePoint. This is what closes a ServicePoint shipment
out, and it is the scan Track91 dates the completion from, rather than the arrival at the
shop days earlier.
- Delivered, POD pending
-
The driver reported the handover before the proof of delivery reached the system. It can be
filed early: if a later delivery round or failed attempt follows, the parcel was still on its
way, and Track91 withdraws the delivery date rather than leaving the shipment marked complete.
- The expected delivery date might be postponed one working day
-
A warning rather than a failed attempt. The parcel missed its round, usually because it was
not loaded or went out on the wrong route, and stays at the depot for the next working day.
- Shipment being returned to sender
-
The parcel could not be delivered or was not collected in time and is now travelling back.
Movement scans follow it, and from this point the timeline describes the journey to the
sender rather than to you.
