Word origin

发货 (fāhuò, "ship goods") is a verb-object compound: 发 (fā, "send out") acts on 货 (huò, "goods"), which explains its focus on sending goods onward.

Usage tips

  • A shop can report this status while the carrier is still moving the package, so seller handoff and later tracking progress are separate stages.
