At a glance
Average door-to-door transit time, in days, for EasyPost-routed parcels delivered in the period: the gap between the first carrier acceptance scan and the delivered scan, blended across every underlying carrier. It is the speed half of the cost-versus-speed trade that rate-shopping makes on your behalf. The card turns amber above 5 days, the point at which a customer who expected “a few days” starts opening a where-is-my-order ticket.
What it tracks
Grounded in the card’sdetail (“Avg Transit (days) for the selected period.”), this is MEAN(delivered_scan - first_acceptance_scan) over the rolling 30 days, compared with the prior 30 days (30D vsP). It is measured from tracking events on the EasyPost tracker objects, so only parcels with both an acceptance scan and a delivered scan count; in-flight parcels and never-scanned labels are excluded. Because it blends carriers, the headline moves when the carrier or service mix shifts (more economy ground, less expedited) as well as when any single lane slows. A reading above >5 days trips the alert; pair it with On-Time Delivery Rate to tell “slow but on-promise” from “slow and breaching”, and with OTD by Underlying Carrier to find which carrier is dragging the mean.
