Why can't I Track my Package?

A package showing 'pre-shipment' after pickup usually will show tracking data as it passes through the hub to be sorted by destination, or at delivery. After successful shipment of your customers order, you or your customer may see that the tracking information has not updated. Because packages are picked up in large quantities, occasionally tracking does not pick up right away.

Sometimes packages never show any tracking data at all. This is most common with USPS, but does happen across many carriers, especially those processed in our East Coast facilities. The package is still on the way to your customer.

Contact your Carrier

Once your customer's package has shipped, it is up to you, the seller, to contact the carrier you have chosen for any issues with tracking and/or delivery. Please remember that you can only check with your requested carrier on shipments that include tracking. 

Note: Depending on the carrier, you may need to create an account to log in and inquire.
