Frequently Asked Questions

A tracking number is a unique code assigned to your shipment by the courier. It allows you to monitor your parcel's journey from pickup to delivery. You can find your tracking number in:

• Your shipping confirmation email from the retailer or courier.
• The receipt or shipping label provided at the time of sending.
• Your courier's account dashboard if you created the shipment.

Tracking numbers are typically 12‑digit numeric codes or 13‑character alphanumeric codes (e.g., RR123456789IT).

• Europe: Poste Italiane, DHL, GLS, DPD, TNT, Royal Mail.

If your tracking number is not working, it could be due to:

• Typographical errors: Double‑check the number for mistakes (e.g., O vs 0, I vs 1).
• Incorrect courier selection: Ensure you've selected the right courier from the dropdown.
• System delay: The courier may not have updated their system yet – wait 24‑48 hours.
• Service type: Some services (e.g., economy shipping) may not include tracking.

If the problem persists, visit our Help Center for more guidance.

A tracking number typically becomes active within 24 to 48 hours after the parcel has been handed over to the courier. During busy periods (e.g., holidays), it may take slightly longer.

If your tracking number still shows no information after 48 hours, contact the sender or the courier directly.

If you've lost your tracking number, you can try:

• Checking your email inbox (and spam folder) for the shipping confirmation.
• Logging into your account on the retailer's website where you made the purchase.
• Contacting the sender – they will have the tracking number.

If you are the sender, contact the courier with your shipment details to retrieve the number.

"In Transit" means your parcel is currently moving through the courier's network towards its final destination. It has been accepted by the courier and is on its way. During this phase, your package may pass through multiple sorting centres, hubs, and customs.

You may see additional updates like "Departed from facility" or "Arrived at local depot" to give you more detail about its journey.

"Out for Delivery" means your parcel has reached the local delivery depot and has been assigned to a driver for final delivery. You should receive your package on the same day (unless an exception occurs).

Tip: Make sure someone is available to receive the parcel, or leave delivery instructions with the courier.

"Delivered" means the courier has marked the parcel as successfully delivered to the recipient's address. A signature or photo proof may have been obtained.

If you haven't received it:

• Check with neighbours, building reception, or your front porch.
• Look for a delivery notice card from the courier.
• Contact the courier directly with your tracking number to verify the delivery location.

If the parcel is still missing, start a lost parcel assistance claim with the courier as soon as possible.

An "Exception" status means an unexpected event has occurred that may delay delivery. Common causes include:

• Customs clearance issues (missing documentation, duties owed).
• Weather conditions affecting transport.
• Incorrect or incomplete address.
• Delivery attempt failed (no one available).

Check the tracking details for more specific information. Contact the courier if the issue isn't resolved within 24‑48 hours.

"Customs Clearance" indicates that your international parcel is being processed by customs authorities in the destination country. This is a standard procedure for cross‑border shipments.

Customs clearance can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the country, the contents of the parcel, and whether any duties or taxes are owed.

Tip: Ensure the sender has provided accurate customs documentation to avoid delays.

Yes, TrackParcelHub fully supports international parcel tracking. You can track shipments sent from any country to any destination worldwide.

For international shipments, tracking is available from the moment the parcel is handed to the courier until final delivery. You'll see statuses like "Departure from origin country", "Arrival at destination country", and "Customs Clearance" in addition to the standard tracking updates.

Simply enter your tracking number on the Track page – it works the same way as domestic tracking.

International parcel tracking may not update for several reasons:

• Customs processing: Packages can be held for inspection without status changes.
• Handover between couriers: When a parcel crosses borders, it may be transferred to a local partner courier, causing a tracking gap.
• Time zone differences: Updates may appear delayed due to time zone variations.

If tracking hasn't updated for more than 5‑7 business days, contact the courier or the sender for more information.

International shipping times vary widely depending on the courier, service type, origin, and destination:

• Express services (DHL, FedEx, UPS): 2‑5 business days.
• Standard postal services (USPS, Royal Mail, Poste Italiane): 5‑15 business days.
• Economy services: 15‑25 business days.

Customs clearance, holidays, and weather can affect delivery times. Check your tracking for the most accurate estimate.

If your package is stuck in transit, it may be due to:

• Customs processing: Particularly for international shipments.
• Weather delays: Severe weather can disrupt transport networks.
• Backlogs: High shipping volumes (e.g., holiday season).
• Remote locations: Deliveries to rural or hard‑to‑reach areas may take longer.

Wait 2‑3 business days before contacting the courier – in most cases, your parcel will resume movement shortly.

If you believe your parcel is lost:

1. Check the tracking status – look for any "Exception" or "Delivery failed" notes.
2. Contact the courier directly with your tracking number – they have investigation procedures.
3. File a claim – if the courier confirms the parcel is lost, they will guide you through the claims process.
4. Contact the sender – they may be able to initiate an investigation or send a replacement.

Act quickly – most couriers have time limits for lost parcel assistance claims.

Delivery delays can be frustrating. Here's what you can do:

• Check your tracking for any status updates or exception messages.
• Wait 1‑2 business days – many delays resolve themselves.
• Contact the courier with your tracking number for an updated delivery estimate.
• If the delay is due to customs, ensure you (or the sender) have provided all required documentation.

For ongoing delays, the Help Center offers further guidance.
