how to track amazon package
To track an Amazon package, you basically need your Amazon account, your order, and (optionally) the carrier tracking number.
How to track on Amazon (desktop)
- Go to the Amazon website for your country and sign in to your account.
- Click “Returns & Orders” in the top‑right corner of the page.
- In Your Orders , find the order you want to track (you can filter by date if needed).
- Click “Track package” next to that order.
- You’ll see:
- Current status (shipped, out for delivery, delivered).
* Estimated delivery date and a tracking timeline with scan points.
* The **carrier tracking ID** if shipped via UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, Amazon Logistics, etc.
How to track in the Amazon app (mobile)
- Open the Amazon app and sign in.
- Tap the person icon (Profile) at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap “Your Orders” to see current and past orders.
- Tap the specific item/order, then tap “Track package”.
- The tracking screen shows:
- Where your package is on the route,
- Delivery window or “Arriving today/tomorrow”,
- Map‑style “out for delivery” view for some Amazon Logistics shipments.
Using the carrier’s website with the tracking number
If you want more detailed scans from the delivery company:
- Go to the Track package page for your order on Amazon.
- Look for the tracking ID / tracking number (for USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.).
- Copy that number.
- Go to the carrier’s tracking page (for example, UPS or USPS) and paste the number into their tracking search.
- Check for extra details like scans, exceptions, or delivery notes.
Many people on forums say they use both Amazon’s tracking page and the carrier’s page to get the most complete picture, especially if a package looks delayed but hasn’t officially changed its estimated date yet.
If you don’t see tracking info
Sometimes tracking is missing or incomplete, especially for small items or third‑party sellers.
Possible reasons and what to do:
- Package just shipped : It can take a short time after shipping for tracking updates to appear. Check again in a few hours.
- No tracking number shown (often “standard” mail): You may only see an estimated date instead of scans; in that case, rely on Amazon’s delivery window.
- Third‑party seller (“Fulfilled by seller”) :
- Go to Your Orders , click the order, then use “Contact seller” if tracking is missing or overdue.
- Late or stuck package :
- If it’s past the delivery date, use the problem with order / where’s my stuff options to request a refund or replacement.
Extra tips and “latest” context
- You can also track some Amazon orders on multi‑carrier tracking sites (like ParcelsApp or 17TRACK) by pasting the tracking link or ID; this is especially common for Amazon Logistics (TBA) numbers.
- Recent guides highlight that Amazon’s tracking has become more granular, with real‑time map updates for many same‑day and next‑day deliveries in 2024–2025.
- If you moved or changed delivery instructions, always double‑check the address and any safe‑place notes on the tracking page.
