Understanding Tracking Numbers
What is a Tracking Number?
A tracking number is more than just a code—it's your package's digital fingerprint. It allows you to monitor the journey of your shipment from the moment it leaves the sender until it arrives at your doorstep. Here’s a breakdown of common tracking number formats:
- UPS: Tracking numbers start with "1Z" and are 18 characters long, providing detailed updates.
- FedEx: Usually 12 digits, allowing you to track both Express and Ground shipments.
- USPS: Ranges from 20-22 digits, covering all domestic shipments within the United States.
- DHL: Often 10-11 digits, may include prefixes like "JD" to indicate specific services.
- Canada Post: Usually 16 digits, starting with a combination of letters and ending with "CA" identifying the country of origin and destination.
How to Find Your Tracking Number?
Your tracking number is your gateway to real-time updates. Here’s how to locate it:
- Shipping Confirmation Email: Usually sent right after your order has shipped, containing your tracking number.
- Shipping Label or Receipt: If you received a physical shipment, the tracking number will be on the label or receipt.
- Carrier’s Customer Service: If you can’t find the tracking number, reaching out to the carrier directly can often resolve the issue.

Pro Tips for Efficient Package Tracking
Start Tracking as Soon as Possible
As soon as you receive your tracking number, start monitoring your package. Early tracking allows you to spot any potential issues early on, such as delays or incorrect routing. This can be especially important for time-sensitive deliveries.
Understanding Delivery Statuses
Tracking statuses can sometimes be confusing. Here’s a quick guide to some common ones:
- "In Transit": Your package is on its way and moving between facilities.
- "Out for Delivery": The package is with the delivery driver and should arrive soon.
- "Delivered": Your package has been delivered to the specified address.
- "Exception": There has been an unexpected issue with your delivery, such as an address problem or customs delay.
What to Do If There’s No Update
It’s normal for there to be gaps in tracking updates, especially if your package is moving between countries or through rural areas. However, if there’s been no update for several days, it may be worth contacting the carrier for more information.
How to Track a Package from an Online Store
From Purchase to Delivery

- Order Confirmation: After purchasing, the seller will process your order and assign a tracking number, which you’ll receive via email.
- Tracking Availability: It may take 1-5 days for the tracking information to become available, depending on the seller’s processing time.

The Importance of Tracking Numbers
Remember, the tracking number is unique to your package. While you might be tempted to track by your order number, especially if you’re using multiple shipping services, it’s crucial to use the tracking number provided. Exceptions include certain platforms, like ASOS, where order numbers may also function as tracking numbers.
Troubleshooting Common Tracking Issues
Package Not Trackable?
If your package isn’t trackable right after you receive the tracking number, it’s usually because the carrier hasn’t processed it yet. It can take a few days for tracking to start showing updates, especially during busy seasons like holidays.
When to Contact the Carrier
If your package hasn’t shown any updates for a week or more, it might be time to reach out to the carrier. For a quick way to find the carrier’s information, including links to their official websites, visit our Carriers Page.
