No, 'dispatched' and 'out for delivery' are not the same. 'Dispatched' means the package has left the warehouse or seller's location and is on its way to the carrier's facility. 'Out for delivery' indicates that the package is with the delivery driver and will be delivered to you that day. These are two distinct stages in the shipping process.
