How to Say “Shipped” in Japanese

発送済み
In Japanese, the English phrase "shipped" is expressed as 発送済み.
The term 発送済み is most commonly seen as a status indicator in e-commerce, order tracking systems and automated shipping notifications to indicate that an item is shipped or already sent.

Did you know?

  • While 発送済み is used for logistics, fans of anime and manga use the English word 'ship' as a loanword シップ to describe wanting two characters to be in a romantic relationship.
  • In Japan, the act of shipping often involves takkyubin, a highly specialized door-to-door courier service. This system is so precise that people often ship luggage from one hotel to another to avoid carrying it on trains.
  • The character 済 in 発送済み comes from a root meaning 'to finish' or 'to settle'. In Japanese culture, this same character is used on stamps to mark a bill as 'paid'.
