How do I track my shipments?

What is a tracking number?

A tracking number is a unique identifier for packages during their shipment, enabling both senders and recipients to monitor the package's path and pinpoint its current whereabouts. Essential for the management of time-sensitive deliveries, it allows for the real-time tracking of a parcel's progress. Crafted from a combination of letters (A-Z) and numbers (0-9), or sometimes both, each tracking number is uniquely assigned to a specific package or parcel for clear identification. Examples of tracking numbers include "1Z999AA10123456784" and "123-456-789." Upon shipping, this identifier is printed on the package's shipping label as a barcode. Such a barcode can be scanned with any conventional barcode scanner, making the tracking information readily accessible to logistics staff, postal workers, and customers alike.

What is last mile delivery tracking number?

A last mile delivery tracking number is the tracking number that you get from the carrier in the destination country or the last mile logistics company that will deliver the shipment to you with a different tracking number than the original tracking number that you already have. For example, when you order a product from AliExpress, the tracking number will usually look like LP0123456789, then after the shipment arrived your country or arrived another logistic company, the original tracking number will be replaced and the tracking number will look like UV123456789UZ, or UV123456789NL, UA123456789DE...etc.

How does international shipment delivery work?

International shipment delivery works in a similar way to domestic delivery, but there are additional steps and considerations involved. Here's an overview of how it typically works:

1. Shipment pickup: The package is picked up by the carrier, which could be a postal service or a courier company.
2. Export customs clearance: The package is sent to an export customs facility, where it is inspected and cleared for export. The carrier handles this process on behalf of the sender.
3. Transportation: The package is transported to the destination country, which can involve air or sea transportation.
4. Import customs clearance: The package is inspected and cleared for import by the destination country's customs authority. The carrier handles this process on behalf of the receiver.
5. Last-mile delivery: The package is transported to the local delivery address and delivered to the receiver.

The exact process can vary depending on the carrier and destination country. Additionally, there may be additional fees or taxes involved, such as customs duties or value-added tax (VAT).

It's important to note that international shipment delivery can take longer than domestic delivery due to the additional steps involved. The shipping time can also vary depending on factors such as the distance between the sender and receiver, the carrier used, and any customs clearance delays.

How does domestic shipment delivery work?

Domestic shipment delivery refers to the process of delivering goods or packages within the same country. The following are the steps involved in domestic shipment delivery:

1. Package Pickup: The shipment process starts with the pickup of the package from the sender's location. The sender can schedule a pickup time with the shipping company or drop off the package at a designated location.
2. Sorting and Processing: The shipping company sorts and processes the packages at their distribution center. They scan and assign a tracking number to each package, which allows the sender and recipient to track the shipment's progress.
3. Transportation: The packages are then transported from the distribution center to the destination city or region. Depending on the shipping company's policies, this may involve multiple modes of transportation, such as ground, air, or sea transport.
4. Local Delivery: Once the packages reach the destination city or region, they are sorted and dispatched for local delivery. The shipping company may use various means of transportation such as delivery trucks, vans, or bicycles to transport packages to the recipient's address.
5. Delivery Attempt: The delivery driver attempts to deliver the package to the recipient's address. If the recipient is not available, the driver may leave a delivery notice or attempt to deliver the package on another day.
6. Package Delivery: If the recipient is available, the package is delivered to the recipient. The recipient may need to sign for the package to confirm delivery.
7. Tracking and Delivery Confirmation: The sender and recipient can track the shipment's progress using the tracking number assigned to the package. Once the package is delivered, the sender receives a delivery confirmation, and the shipment process is completed.

Overall, the domestic shipment delivery process involves several stages and requires coordination between the shipping company, the sender, and the recipient.

What messages do you get when tracking a shipment?

When tracking a shipment, the messages you receive can vary depending on the shipping carrier and the status of the package. However, here are some common messages you may encounter when tracking a shipment:

1. Order Received: This message indicates that the shipping carrier has received the order from the sender and is processing it.
2. In Transit: This message indicates that the package is in transit and is being transported from the origin to the destination.
3. Out for Delivery: This message indicates that the package is on its way to the recipient's address and will be delivered soon.
4. Delivered: This message indicates that the package has been delivered to the recipient's address and signed for.
5. Delivery Attempted: This message indicates that the delivery driver attempted to deliver the package but was unable to do so. The driver may leave a delivery notice or attempt to deliver the package on another day.
6. Exception: This message indicates that an unexpected event has occurred that may affect the delivery of the package. For example, if the package is damaged or lost during transit, an exception message may be generated.
7. Returned to Sender: This message indicates that the package was returned to the sender, usually due to an incorrect address or the recipient's refusal to accept the package.

Overall, the messages you receive when tracking a shipment provide important information about the status and location of your package, enabling you to anticipate its arrival and take any necessary action if there are issues.

How can I dispute and claim a refund for a fake tracking number and an undelivered shipment?

If you encounter an issue with a fake tracking number or an undelivered shipment, it's important to take proactive steps for resolution. Begin by compiling all relevant order details and any communications with the seller. For purchases made through platforms like AliExpress, eBay, or other popular online stores, utilize their dispute resolution process. File a dispute through the platform where the purchase was made, as these sites often have systems in place to investigate and mediate such issues. If the seller is unresponsive or uncooperative, you can also escalate the matter by contacting your payment provider or credit card company for a potential refund. Remember to keep a detailed record of all transactions and communications, as this will be crucial in supporting your claim. This approach aims to provide a structured path for resolving disputes with sellers on major e-commerce platforms.

Is there a specific time frame for initiating a shipment non-receipt dispute?

Yes, there are distinct time frames for initiating a dispute based on the platform you used for your purchase.

• For eBay and PayPal transactions, it is essential to file a dispute within 45 days from the date of your payment. Adhering to this deadline is crucial to ensure that you have a valid window of opportunity to raise your concerns and seek resolution.
• If you made your purchase through AliExpress, the time frame for filing a non-receipt dispute is extended to 60 days from the date of payment. This provides you with a slightly longer period to address any issues related to undelivered items.

It's important to be aware of these deadlines and act promptly if you encounter any problems with your orders. Meeting these time frames ensures that you can avail yourself of the dispute resolution processes provided by these platforms and work towards a satisfactory resolution.

What should I do if I purchase from a website without a "dispute option" for refunds and didn't use PayPal or Alipay for payment?

Purchasing from websites that lack a dispute option for refunds and not using secure payment methods like PayPal or Alipay can make it difficult to retrieve your money if you encounter issues. We recommend buying from reputable sellers on well-known marketplaces like eBay, AliExpress, or Amazon, which provide robust dispute mechanisms to help secure refunds. If you are considering a purchase from an independent website, it is essential to use PayPal as your payment method. To ensure your transactions are protected, avoid payment methods such as wire transfers, money orders, Western Union, or Bitcoin, especially when dealing with unfamiliar sellers. This approach helps minimize the risk of potential fraud.
