Essentially, this is a positive update to receive.
You will only see it for packages arriving in South Africa, where Buffalo Post is responsible for completing the delivery to the destination address.
At this point, the shipment has arrived at an airport in South Africa, has passed the necessary customs clearance checks, and has now been passed over to Buffalo.
In other words, your package is inside a sorting facility at the airport and will be soon dispatched to a facility closer to the recipient.

Tracking Stuck on Buffalo Airport Warehouse Received
So, the chances are you have reached this article because your Buffalo package tracking is stuck on “Buffalo Airport Warehouse Received”.
This understandably causes frustration. What exactly is going on?
The trouble is, that although the shipment has cleared customs and is now with Buffalo, it is still inside a large warehouse in the airport complex.
Before it can be dispatched it has to be sorted and assigned a vehicle for delivery.
If you are unlucky, this can take several days. During this time you will not receive any new updates.
In fact, until your package leaves the airport warehouse you will not receive any indication of the shipment process.

What to do if Tracking is Stuck

Because delays at the international sorting facility are relatively common, depending on the service speed of the delivery, I recommend that you wait at least 5 working days for the item to leave the warehouse (and for you to receive a new update).
If after this amount of time, you see no sign of progress you will need to contact Buffalo Post.

Final Words

Overall, the “Buffalo Airport Warehouse Received” is a good update to receive.
It means that the shipment has arrived in the destination country (ie South Africa), and after clearing customs has been handed over to Buffalo Post.
However, at this stage, it is still inside the airport sorting warehouse facility, so delivery can easily be several days away.
That being said, once it leaves the warehouse the next step is often transit to a facility in the region of the recipient and then final delivery.
