Pickup and first scan

How to read the whole shipment journey
Transit and facility scans
Movement between hubs is usually normal. Fewer scans do not always mean the package is stalled; they often just reflect quiet linehaul travel.
Destination handoff
As the parcel reaches the local delivery area, status updates usually become more frequent. This is the point where out-for-delivery or exception scans appear.
Delivery completion or delay
Delivered scans should be checked against the address on file. If the parcel is missing, use the proof and delivery notes before contacting support.
Common reasons for delays
- Weekend or holiday processing slowdowns.
- Customs inspection or documentation review.
- Route-density surges in the local final-mile network.
- Missing apartment, suite, or gate access details.

How to get the best support response
Include your tracking number, order ID, destination ZIP, and the last visible scan when you contact support. A short timeline and a single clear request usually gets a faster answer than a long message.
If the parcel is a marketplace order, start with the seller because they can confirm fulfillment, open the first case, and coordinate with the carrier if needed.
