How to track a package: the complete guide

Find your tracking number, paste it once and follow every scan — handoffs included, no account needed.

Find your tracking number

It lives in the order confirmation or shipping email, the seller's order page or the SMS the carrier sends. Formats vary: 1Z… (UPS), 20 digits (USPS), S10 codes like RR123456785CN, LP…/LZ… (AliExpress) or TBA… (Amazon). The order number itself is usually not trackable by carriers.

Paste it once

GetPackRoute detects the carrier automatically, validates the check digit when there is one, and merges handoffs between couriers (China Post → USPS, Cainiao → Correos…) into one continuous timeline. Free and without an account.

Reading the timeline

Pickup → sorting → international transit → customs → last mile → delivery. Gaps of 5–15 days between scans are normal on cross-border routes; worry only when the estimated window has passed by more than a week.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my tracking number?

Check the shipping email from the store, your account's order page, or the SMS from the carrier. The sender always has it — they bought the label.

Why has my package not updated in days?

Carriers only scan at key checkpoints. Silences of 5–15 days are routine on international legs and don't mean the parcel is lost.

Does tracking show every stop?

No — only scanned checkpoints. A parcel can move for days between warehouses without a single event.
