    I think it has got further than that. Most carriers have sorting hubs in the Midlands. Parcels are taken there from your local depot to be sorted overnight and sent out to the delivery depot.

    I hope it's gone further than the senders local depot as it was picked up on thursday for 48 hour delivery. The tracking is now showing

    Processed at hub means it has gone from the collection depot to the main sorting hub and has been scanned in there. From that point it will then go on a night trunk trailer to the depot doing the delivery. It will then either say arrived at depot or say loaded on van for delivery.
