Parcel tracking guides

Clear answers to the most common delivery questions, from understanding what tracking statuses mean to troubleshooting a parcel that stopped moving.

Why parcels are confusing

Carrier tracking pages show raw scan data without much context. Status names like "in transit" or "exception" mean different things on different carriers, and a parcel that stops updating for 48 hours can look alarming even when everything is fine.

These guides explain what those statuses actually mean, what to do when tracking goes quiet, and how to keep multiple deliveries organized in one place. For quick answers, see the FAQ page.
