incorrect address

Incorrect address is the status of a shipment for which the shipping address is wrong and does not correctly identify the intended delivery destination.

In plain English

It means the address details point to the wrong place. Because the shipping address does not accurately identify where the shipment is meant to go, the shipment is marked with this status.
