ShipOpsStallion “PARCEL ON HOLD”: what it means
In transit
Stallion PARCEL ON HOLD means Stallion is keeping the parcel back for a later delivery run. The reason it prints is usually its own, such as EXPECTED DELIVERY TOMORROW. It is not a failed visit, and nobody is waiting for your answer.
ShipOps reads it as still on the way. Stallion's reason shows on its own tracking page. Next comes PARCEL OUT FOR DELIVERY again.
If a parcel stays on hold for several days, ask Stallion why.
What to do now
| Your move | Stallion has moved the delivery to a later run. Not a failed visit; tell the customer it is coming. |
|---|---|
| The customer | The customer may have been told the parcel was coming today. Tell them the new day so they keep the cash ready. |
How ShipOps reads it
In transit Moving inside the courier's network. Nothing for you to do, so ShipOps keeps it out of your Action Inbox. It does watch the clock: a parcel still in transit five days on, never attempted, goes on the Stuck list, where the lever is an escalation to the courier.
ShipOps shows every courier's parcels in the same few plain states, so your team learns one set of words instead of one per courier. All Stallion statuses →
The same state on other couriers
