To start tracking a shipment, you need to know its identification number, which is assigned to the postal item after registration in the postal service system. For example, a buyer of an online store receives it in his personal account some time after making a purchase.

A tracking number is a unique postal identifier and tracking number for the package. It consists of letters and numbers or only numbers. At each stage of forwarding a postal item, it is entered into a unified postal control system. Delivery services are guided by the tracking number or code. It allows you to track:

• sending a parcel
• passing through sorting centers
• being at intermediate points: at customs, etc .
• arrival in the city of the recipient
• receipt of the shipment

Different countries have their own peculiarities of the formation of the track code. For example, it could be a 14-digit number. International shipments have a tracking code consisting of numbers and letters. The first 2 letters determine the type of postal item, the next 8 digits are the unique number of the item, then there is one digit - the verification code. 2 letters at the end, correspond to the international abbreviation of the sending country

There are several ways to find out the tracking number. The choice of method depends on the specific situation and the availability of the information source. You can do the following:

• ask the tracking number of the package from the person who sent it to you;
• view the email from the online store where you made the purchase;
• view the electronic receipt from the trading company with which you cooperate;
• log in to your account on the online trading platform, view the tracking number in the order card;
• call the supplier of the product by phone;
• find out the tracking number in your account on the official website of the transport company (if you know which company the sender used).

If you are the sender of the parcel, then it is not difficult to find out the tracking number. To do this, you need to look at the receipt from the branch of the transport company that you received after paying for the service. It always contains the tracking number.

Each parcel begins its journey from the post office, to which the sender delivers it, where it is registered and receives its tracking number. In the process of delivery to the recipient, it passes through several sorting points, in which a further optimal route is determined for it.

Do not confuse the order number with the parcel/tracking number. This kind of confusion is especially common with Aliexpress buyers. The order number appears immediately at the time of its registration, even before it is paid. This is not a tracking number, but the number of the entire order, which may contain several items. This is an internal system for identifying store orders. For the buyer, it is only necessary in case of any problems for contacting support. You can see the order number for Aliexpress in my orders.

The parcel/tracking number appears only after the goods are sent by the seller to the post office. There cannot be a parcel/tracking number if the product has not yet been paid for or is awaiting shipment, since the number is assigned by the post office. Only the parcel/tracking number is designed to track the parcel. On AliExpress, this number can be viewed after clicking on the link in more detail near the order number. In the form that opens, the postal service and the parcel number will be indicated. In European online stores, the shipment number usually appears in your personal account some time after you paid for the goods or made a purchase.

There are some periods during which a shipment can get stuck for a long time without changing its status. In this case, you should not worry too much. This happens most often with the export status. You need to be patient and wait for the status to change.

Also, somtimes there could be errors while assigning a tracking code for an international shipment. In this case, all statuses occurring in the territory of the seller's country will be monitored, but when crossing the border, the ability to track the movement of the shipment becomes unavailable.
