Tracking a package can sometimes be confusing, especially if the tracking number doesn’t provide enough information about its current location. If you’re unsure where your package is, here’s what you can do.
Step 1: Check with the Seller
The first step is always to contact the seller or the company you purchased the product from. They have access to shipment details and can clarify whether the package has been dispatched and where it is in transit. Most online platforms, including Chinese stores, offer a messaging system to reach out to the seller directly.
Step 2: Use the Tracking Number
Make sure to double-check the tracking number provided. Use a universal tracking tool such as:
- 17Track: Works with multiple carriers worldwide.
- Courier-specific websites: For example, if the package is delivered by a specific service like PostNL or DHL, use their tracking tools.
Enter the tracking number exactly as provided to avoid errors. If the number doesn’t return any results, it’s best to confirm it with the seller.
Step 3: Clarify the Destination
Packages can sometimes be delayed or misdirected if there are issues with the destination address. If the tracking status mentions a return to sender, it’s likely there was an issue with the provided address.
- Ensure the address on your order matches your actual delivery location.
- If the package was sent to a service point, confirm that the carrier allows direct deliveries to such locations.
What If You Still Can’t Find Your Package?
- Open a Dispute: If the seller doesn’t provide a solution, most online stores allow you to open a dispute to request a refund or resolution.
- Contact the Platform: Some platforms offer customer support via chat to assist with lost or delayed shipments.
