The arranging and scheduling of mail for delivery from the sorting centre is called routing. The mail/parcels after sorting out will be ruoted through their offices/sub offices to get them delivered to the addresses.
This means that the parcel has been sorted and is on route to you. Their is usually no more updates through EMS until the parcel is delivered or attempted a delivery. EMS are known for delays, so If you haven't yet received your parcel after 8 days, don't worry, you will receive it soon. If it has been over 2 weeks, contact EMS.
I have never heard of the term despatch. I know what dispatch means which is to send out from. But I'm not sure is despatch means anything at all.
