Private shippers like FedEx and UPS are set up to deliver in densely-populated areas. They don’t have the extensive infrastructure and staffing to deliver to everyone in the whole country, as the Postal Service does. So the Postal Service delivers a huge volume of parcels that started out being shipped by FedEx or UPS.
They’ll take it as far as the nearest big city, where the Postal Service takes over and gets it into the recipient’s mailbox. So the message you asked about means that FedEx (or whomever) has handed over your parcel to the Postal Service to be sorted and delivered.
They sent it to a subcontractor who serves your area and the delivery should arrive on schedule – more or less. It has to be scanned and sorted again by the subcontractor and then given to one of their drivers, but it will reach you and with minimal delay.
As a window clerk for the Postal Service we had UPS and FedEx employees come in every day and hand us packages (and have us sign) from them. We in turn delivered said packages the following day to the address on the individual packages for which we had signed.

The UPS and FedEx packages will go through our intake process (accepting/scanning the package and routing it to the correct carrier route) when the clerk has finished all these other tasks. Sometimes, particularly during the holidays, the clerk may not be able to do the intake until after the office has closed for the day.

What does it mean when DHL says “tendered to delivery service provider”?
When you ship an order with UPS Surepost, FedEx Smartpost, or DHL eCommerce the end delivery is generally done by USPS. In the industry, we call it “last-mile delivery”.

Just know, it will generally be delivered within a few days! I would suggest that it means in English terminoligy that the parcel/packet has been passed to another contractor/Courier firm to carry out the final delivery.
That firm may be a small local business that uses self-employed people to deliver small packets and drops from on line sales sites (such as T-shirts boots and shoes or other small items
There is a national operation in the UK, (Hermes) which does just that, engage drop delivery drivers on a contract, self employed basis and use their own transport with business insurance cover. They bill the company to get paid on a “number of parcels delivered” basis, but liable for their own taxation and national Insurance.
There are a number of these small operations opening up as they are cheap to run, take a load of otherwise small but time consuming parcels and packets away from The national Royal Mail and Parcel Force, and on the whole reliable.
For the company, no payroll as such (the contractor serves an invoice and gets paid on that, through what in effect is a Purchase Ledger), so no fleet of vehicles to tax, PAYE and National Insurance to maintain. Just treated as any other invoice going through a company’s Purchase ledger for a supplier of services (dropping of the company’s packets).
Driver accounts for their own route, gets paid “gross” so responsible for their taxation and National Insurance. So I suspect that may be the reason the DHL use sub-contractors like Hermes as it cuts down the overheads for DHL and other large international distributors and logisitics.
My package has been “tendered for delivery” for 3 weeks. What does this mean? When should I expect my package?
I’m sorry, that’s the worst!! The best thing to do is find out what post office it’s at and call them directly. Yes, you’ll be in hold for at least 45–60min, but you actually can ask a professional.
