Track Amazon package in UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Spain

After an order has shipped, you can track your packages on Amazon. com, Amazon. co. uk, Amazon. ca, etc. From Your Orders, you can find tracking information in your order details. If an order includes multiple items, each may have separate delivery dates and tracking information.

Amazon Logistics Package Tracking

Since, Amazon does not allow tracking Amazon Logistics deliveries with regular tracking numbers, you need to use original tracking link you received from Amazon in a shipping confirmation email.

Open shipping confirmation email from Amazon. Click on 'Track your package' link in the email. Wait until web page loads. Copy that page link to clipboard Paste the link you copied into search field above or add it to Parcels app.

Amazon tracking order without login

Amazon order tracking is possible with logging in. All you need to do is copy tracking page link and add it to Parcels mobile app, or paste link on ParcelsApp. com

Amazon track parcel

To track your Amazon delivery go to Your Orders page on Amazon. Click "Track Package" button, you'll be taken to tracking page, where you can find courier tracking number if shipped by DHL, USPS, UPS, Intelcom, China Post, etc.

If delivery is by AMZL_US, Amazon, Amazon Logistics then the only way to track is to copy that page link and paste it on ParcelsApp. com or refer to Amazon Your Orders page everytime you need to know where your order is.

Amazon Tracking ID TBA

This is the Amazon special delivery for same day-2 day delivery and is used in larger cities. Tracking numbers starting with TBA should show a carrier as AMZN_US, Amazon or Amazon Logistics, and there’s absolutely nowhere to track the package since it’s done by courier from local warehouses and not common carriers.

The only way to track such deliveries is by going to Your Orders section of Amazon or by copying tracking link after clicking "Track Package" button in Your Orders and pasting in on ParcelsApp. com

Amazon US Tracking

Amazon. com has begun contracting deliveries through a variety of regional carriers. Some national carriers use regional carriers to deliver your package. When this happens, your tracking information may not be accurately reflected on the national carrier website.

Some exceptionally large or heavy items may be shipped by a specialty carrier such as CEVA, ABF, Pilot, or XPO. Parcel Pool is used for standard deliveries to Alaska and Hawaii, and OnTrac is used for same-day deliveries to Seattle.

Most popular carriers used by Amazon to deliver packages are UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, ECMS EXPRESS, Landmark Global, LaserShip, Amazon Logistics (AMZL_US)

Amazon UK Track Order

If Amazon. co. uk provided you with a tracking number for Your Order, the carrier may have more information than the Amazon. co. uk website. Track your Amazon. co. uk packages with ParcelsApp. com to get up-to-date information about your order.

Amazon Canada Tracking Order

After an order has shipped, many packages can be tracked on Amazon. ca. You can find tracking information in your order details.

If tracking is available, you can track your package via the Your Orders page or by copying and pasting package tracking number on this page into search field above. The shipping method and carrier for your package will be listed in your account and in your shipment confirmation e-mail.

Tracking Amazon Logistics France

Follow the procedure describe above in Amazon Logistics Package Tracking section to track your Amazon Logistics France delivery.

Amazon India Tracking or Amazon Transportation Services tracking

Amazon India uses several courier partners, such as Shipped by Amazon, this is Amazon Transportation Services delivery and Amazon will share the delivery agent's contact information on the day of delivery.

Amazon Transportation Services

Amazon now has an internal transportation division called Amazon Transportation Services (ATS). Amazon has purchased a large number of tractor-trailers in addition to cargo airplanes which will transport 100% Amazon cargo.

ATS will accelerate last mile delivery services and assist in rapid deliveries. Currently, Amazon works in sync with many courier companies such as DHL, Blue Dart, Gati and even Indian Post to deliver across nearly 19000 pin codes in India. Interestingly, Amazon is late in setting up its own logistics company as Flipkart delivers via eKart and Snapdeal acquired Gojavas recently.

Despite the presence of many third party delivery service start ups, most well established e-tailers prefer to set up their own delivery companies for accelerating their delivery services and reducing dependence on third party service providers who could be delivering goods of competitors too. Another major reason being, botched up last mile delivery services could hamper their reputation and imply losing out in the race to lead the ecommerce segment.

Amazon track order by order number

Unfortunately, it's not possible to track Amazon order using only order number. If order was shipped by ordinary courier service like USPS, FedEx or UPS you can copy tracking number from Amazon Order page and track package using respective courier website or on ParcelsApp. com.

If the order was fulfilled by Amazon, from an Amazon Warehouse, then you should be able to track the progress from the “My Orders” page on the website or you can copy order tracking page link and track order on ParcelsApp. com

Amazon Shipping & Delivery Time

You'll see an estimated shipping or delivery date for each shipment on the order summary, just before you place your order. An estimated delivery date (or date range) will also appear in Your Orders after you've placed your order.

Delivery estimates are calculated by taking the estimated shipping date and adding the transit time (the time it takes a package to travel from our facilities to your destination address), based on the shipping speed you've chosen. The transit time is calculated using business days, meaning Saturday and Sunday don't count toward the transit time (unless Amazon specifically offered a weekend delivery during checkout). Holidays are also taken into account when calculating the transit time.

Amazon item ordered, but it hasn’t shipped yet

Don’t panic. Amazon will not charge your credit card until the order has been confirmed. Until that point, you can still cancel the order by going to Accounts and Lists > Your Account > Your Orders and selecting Cancel Order.

Undeliverable packages

Occasionally packages are returned to Amazon as undeliverable. When the carrier returns an undeliverable package to Amazon, you will be issued a full refund (including shipping charges).

Reasons for Undeliverable Packages:

Item is too big for a P. O. Box. Some items are too big to ship to a P. O. Box and must be shipped to a street address. Address Format. If a post office box address was entered in a format Amazon system does not recognize, the package may be shipped through a carrier that cannot deliver to a post office box. To ensure that such packages are routed through the proper carriers, please enter the box number as "PO BOX" followed by the number. Also, if you're a private mailbox holder (use a local commercial mail receiving agency), do not use "Box" for your mailbox number, instead use # or PMB. This will ensure that your address is not mistaken to be a P. O. Box, and that orders can ship to you via means other than the U. S. Postal Service. Secure Location. Your package may be returned to Amazon if there is no safe place to leave the package at the point of delivery, where the package is safe from weather and is not visible to passersby. Damaged During Transit. If a package is damaged on its way to you, the shipper may return it to us without attempting delivery. Unable to Access. Your package may be returned to Amazon if the carrier can't access the delivery location due to no access code, call box number, or buzzer information, and can't obtain the information after multiple attempts. Refused by Recipient. If a recipient is not expecting a package, they may refuse it if they believe it was sent to them in error. Failed Delivery Attempts. Most of Amazon's carriers make three attempts to deliver a package. Packages that contain more than $1300 of merchandise will always require a signature; otherwise, it is generally up to the driver's discretion to determine whether a signature is required. After three attempts, the package will be returned to Amazon.

Amazon package lost?

Have you ever waited for an Amazon delivery that never showed up? Your package may have been “lost in transit.”, or as message in Amazon Orders section says: "Sorry, your package was lost in transit. Please contact Amazon for the next steps", or “Lost by carrier – undeliverable”.

Before contacting Amazon support make sure to track your Amazon package with our postal tracker, that has integration with over 400+ courier services and may find some new information about your missing package.

Amazon package delivered but not received

Does your Amazon order page say my package was directly handed off and delivered but you’ve received nothing? If you are in the same situation then don’t panic because Amazon will refund your all money in case your order will not deliver to your doorstep.

Check courier company that delivers the package, if it’s AMZL (Amazon Logistics) then it could mean a few things:

The driver is still on his way The driver accidentally hit that option and the device they have to use doesn’t allow a driver to go back and change it. The package was misdelivered.

If you do not see your package but the end of the day, usually about 8 pm or so, then call the delivery company and see if they can help you from there.

Finding a missing package that shows as delivered

What to do if your package shows as delivered but you can't find it.

First, check your neighbor or someone else accepted an order at your address. Do you have Amazon Locker? Look in your letterbox; some deliveries use multiple carriers, including the regular postal service. Check around your delivery location, Package may be available at your nearest safe place like a garage or porch. You might also find the notification of attempted delivery in your letterbox. If attempted delivery notification is available then follow the instructions to arrange collection of the package or you can also request for redelivery. Sometimes delivery driver not able to find your address because you entered a wrong address. So must check the shipping address was correct on your order.

If you are not in rush then wait for the next 36 to 48 hours. Sometimes package tracking shows as delivered while still in transit.

Amazon tracking information not updating or Amazon shipping not updating tracking?

If Amazon tracking information is not available this may be due to the timing of tracking-database updates by the carrier, the sophistication of a particular carrier's tracking system, or the lack of full integration into Amazon's tracking systems.

If the estimated delivery date for your package has passed and your tracking information hasn't changed, please allow an additional day or two for the package to be delivered. Usually packages arrive on or shortly after the estimated delivery date.

Here are some reasons why tracking information may not be available:

The first package scan may be upon arrival at a regional hub near the destination. This is common when shipping volume is high and packages are processed in bulk. Until this first scan, the carrier may not acknowledge receipt of the package. The first package scan may not be until delivery. Some shipments, such as Standard International shipments, are not trackable. Marketplace sellers sometimes do not provide Amazon with tracking information for their orders.

How Does Shipping on Amazon Work?

So how does Amazon get the stuff that you order from either one Amazon’s own product depots, or the (ware)house of a third-party seller, to your doorstep? More importantly, how fast can it do that, and how much does it cost you above and beyond what you paid for your merchandise in the first place? Read on and find out.

Shipping Services that Amazon Uses

Amazon usually uses the largest and most trusted courier services for its deliveries, including UPS, FedEx, and the U. S. Postal Service. However, it has also begun using other local and regional couriers to ship its goods, including:

APEX / ECMS Express ABF Freight System Inc. DHL Express i-parcel LaserShip Menlo Worldwide / UPS Supply Chain Solutions MSI OnTrac Parcel Pool

If you buy items from a third-party seller on Amazon, they may choose their own shipping options, as well.

Amazon Shipping Times

The time it takes to be shipped something you purchased on Amazon depends on whether you’re buying directly from Amazon or from a third party, what speed of shipping you choose, and where you live.

Direct from Amazon — Inside U. S.

Shipping to a location in the continental U. S. usually takes 4 or 5 business days with standard shipping, 2 business days with priority shipping, and 1 business day with express shipping.

Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico usually takes 3 to 7 business days with standard shipping, 2 to 5 business days with expedited shipping, and 1 to 4 business days with priority shipping.

Shipping to any other U. S. territory (e. g. Virgin Islands, Marshall Islands, American Samoa) usually takes 3 to 5 business days with standard shipping, or 1 to 4 business days with priority shipping.

Direct from Amazon — Outside U. S.

Shipping times to areas outside the U. S. vary by region and the shipping speed that you choose. For lists of these times, see this help section on Amazon global shipping times.

From a Third-Party Seller

NOTE: These times may vary by up to 2 days, as this is usually the time frame within which third-party sellers will ship their items after you have ordered them. They may also vary based on the individual seller’s policies, so be sure to read those in the seller’s profile.

Shipping to a location in North America usually takes 4 to 21 business days (but usually not more than 14) with standard shipping, 2 to 6 business days with expedited shipping, 2 business days with priority shipping, and 1 business day with express shipping.

Shipping to a location abroad usually takes 3 to 6 weeks with standard shipping (but may take 8 to 12 weeks if there are delays in clearing customs), and 3 to 7 business days with expedited shipping.

How much is shipping on Amazon?

In general, you can find shipping costs for an order on Amazon when you go to review it, underneath the Place Your Order button.

Beyond that, your shipping costs are affected by whether you’re inside or outside the U. S., the shipping speed that you choose, as well as whether you’re ordering merchandise directly from Amazon or from a third-party seller.

Inside U. S. Shipping Rates — Direct from Amazon

Amazon keeps relatively tight-lipped about how much it costs to ship items to people in the U. S. directly from Amazon, perhaps because of the amount of competition between courier services in America. As such, it does not explicitly list its shipping rates within the U. S., except to say that they are affected by the shipping speed that you select, as well as how large or heavy the items that you’re purchasing are. They also may be affected by how expensive the items you purchase are; if they’re expensive enough, you may be able to get Amazon to waive the shipping costs.

The shipping costs associated with third-party sellers below may give you a general guideline for these costs.

Outside U. S. Shipping Rates — Direct from Amazon

Shipping costs to areas outside the U. S. from Amazon vary not only by region, but by the type(s) of goods being shipped and the shipping speed chosen. For lists of these costs, see this help section on Amazon’s global shipping rates.

Inside U. S. Shipping Rates — From Third-Party Seller

Shipping to locations within the United States using standard shipping usually costs between $4 and $4.50 per item. Certain bulky items may cost an additional 50₵ per pound of weight.

Shipping to locations within the United States using expedited shipping usually costs between $6.20 and $7 per item. Certain bulky items may cost an additional $1 per pound of weight.

Priority shipping within the United States costs about $15 per item, and is restricted to certain non-bulky items such as books, CDs, vinyl records, VHS tapes, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs.

Express shipping within the United States costs about $20 per item, and is restricted to certain non-bulky items such as books, CDs, vinyl records, VHS tapes, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs.

Outside U. S. Shipping Rates — Third-Party Seller

Shipping to locations outside the U. S. using standard shipping usually costs about $15 per item. The only exception is books; they usually cost $17 per item weighing less than 1 lb., and $25 per item weighing more than 1 lb.

Shipping to locations outside the U. S. using expedited shipping usually costs about $46.50 per item, regardless of its type or weight.

So, to answer the two most frequently asked questions about shipping on Amazon:

How much is one-day shipping on Amazon?

Assuming that you live either in a U. S. territory or at least a country in North America, and have chosen either priority or express shipping (which are the two conditions necessary to potentially have an item shipped within one day), shipping will probably cost you between $15 and $20 per item.

How much is 2-day shipping on Amazon?

Again, assuming that you live somewhere in the U. S. (including overseas territories like Hawaii or the Virgin Islands) or North America in general, and are using either expedited or priority shipping (which are the two conditions that will likely get an order to you within two days), shipping will cost you between $6 and $15 per item.

And that’s everything you need to know about Amazon shipping. If you want some more information, check out our other articles on how to track your Amazon order and how to get free shipping.

International Shipping Process

All orders shipped from the U. S. to an international destination are shipped via ISAL or International Surface Air Lift, which consolidates and delivers packages from the U. S. to international destinations, handing the package to your local postal system. To allow U. S. sellers who would otherwise not be able to ship internationally to receive international orders, we have all U. S. sellers ship through our freight forwarding centers. The seller ships within the U. S. to one of two freight forwarding centers, who then consolidate shipments to the destination countries. The item is then ultimately delivered to your address via your local postal service.

The average transit time for packages shipped using this method is 2 weeks to most locations, though delays of up to 45 days can occur. Delivery is ultimately determined by the local mail service or by customs assessment in your country. Packages are batched to reduce time in transit, so unfortunately, these shipments cannot be tracked.

Countries Available For Shipping

Shipping is available to ALL COUNTRIES except for the following: Afghanistan, Algeria, Brazil, Cuba, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, Libya, Myanmar, Nigeria, North Korea, and Sudan.

Tracking your order

If you selected Trackable Expedited, One Day Air, or Two Day Air as your order's shipping method, you can track its progress after it has shipped. To do so, click the Account link in the upper-right menu of our Web site. Then enter your password to review and track such purchases. Other shipping methods are not trackable.

Independent seller shipping

Items shipped by our independent sellers are not eligible for Super Value Shipping (SVS). As a result, shipping charges are applied to items listed by independent sellers, even if other items in your shopping cart do qualify for Super Value Shipping. However, you may receive consolidated shipping discounts when you purchase more than one item from the same independent seller in the same order. Because they all ship via Trackable Expedited shipping, rentals are ineligible for consolidated shipping.

Estimating total shipping time

The amount of time your order will take to reach you depends on the items you're ordering, where the seller is located, and where and how you want the order shipped. Items listed as shipping from Alibris are normally sent on the first business day after you order them. Items listed as shipping from independent sellers usually take 2 to 3 days to process before shipment, and items from non-U. S. and non-Canadian sellers may take up to three weeks to process. Once you have selected your items, please use the tables above to estimate the total delivery time to your location.

Items from non-U. S. and non-Canadian sellers take longer

When you order items from sellers outside the United States or Canada, they ship your merchandise to our warehouse first. We then verify and check your order before shipping it on to you, whether you're located inside or outside of the U. S. This process takes some extra time, but it helps to ensure that your order is accurate when it reaches you.

Import duties and taxes on orders shipped between countries

If you are the recipient of an order shipped between countries, you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are assessed when the package reaches your country. You are responsible for these and any other additional charges. Most carriers assess applicable duties and taxes when the shipment from us arrives in your country. If more money is owed, they will send you a letter notifying you of the charges and the steps you need to take to receive your package.

Unfortunately, we can't control or determine the duties and taxes that will apply to your order. Because policies vary, please contact your country's customs office for more information. When ordering from us, you are the importer of record and must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods.

Additional shipping charges may apply

When multi-volume sets, exceptionally large or heavy books, and/or ephemera are ordered, additional shipping charges may be assessed. If you are ordering such an item, we recommend contacting its seller beforehand to determine whether non-standard shipping charges will be applied to your order.

Rush methods available

One Day Air shipping is only available for items listed as shipping from Alibris. To ship an order via One Day Air, place an item available from "Seller: Alibris" in your Cart. On the final checkout page, you will be able to select One Day Air as your shipping method.

Two Day Air shipping is available from both Alibris and select independent marketplace sellers. Please add your items to your Cart and if the independent seller offers Two Day Air, it will appear as an option on the final checkout page.

How fast is rush delivery?

Rush orders normally ship the next business day after the order is placed. However, while it's definitely not the norm, some rush items can take longer than expected to be delivered.

Please be aware that items shipped One Day Air and Two Day Air sometimes require up to two days of processing time before they can ship. Rush orders can also only ship and be delivered on non-holiday weekdays within the contiguous United States. And the availability of an item (as described in its listing) is also a factor; some items aren't available for several days.

Again, complications aren't common, but please bear these details in mind when selecting a rush shipping method.
