A tracking number — which is also called a tracking code, or a tracking ID — is a number assigned to mail — parcels and letters — when it is shipped. The tracking number is used to locate the shipment along all stages of the shipping process.

If you are sending a parcel, you can find your tracking number in the following places: · your post office shipping receipt (if you mailed the parcel by postal service); · on your sales receipt if you paid for shipping insurance at the post office; · in the shipping documents you received from the courier (if you shipped the item through a private shipping company). · If you are the recipient, here are a number of ways to find your tracking code: · check the shipping confirmation email you received from the online retailer; · log into your account on the online shop, go to “My Orders” and view

This depends on the shipping company. Some companies, like FedEx and UPS, allow you to track your shipment directly with the order number or reference number. · If this is not possible, here are two options for you to track your national or international parcel without a tracking code: · if you are the sender, contact the receiver and ask them whether the parcel has been delivered; · If you are the sender or the receiver, contact the shipping company and ask what is the package status (you can use the order number to identify your package).
