Inpost Parcel Tracking

Troubleshooting: Saturday Delivery Options

Tracking Number Not Working

A blank result page means the courier staff have not scanned the barcode at the first office. This is common for parcels booked in the afternoon. Try again the next morning.

Shipment Not Updating

Your package might show the same status for several days if it is waiting in a queue at a busy sorting center. During sale seasons, hub backlogs can add a day or two to the scan gap.

Parcel Delayed

If your package has been delayed, check whether the courier posted an advisory on their website about service disruptions in your area. Strikes, floods, and public holidays cause common delays.

Delivery Failed

If you missed the rider, check the tracking page for the local branch phone number. You can call them directly to arrange either a redelivery or a self pickup from the office.

Lost Shipment

Packages that go missing usually turn up within 5 to 10 days after the sender files a search claim with Inpost Parcel. Most missing parcels are found misrouted at the wrong branch.

Customs Delay

Customs processing times vary by country and shipment value. Low value personal packages usually clear within 24 hours, while higher value commercial shipments may take 3 to 5 business days.

Package rerouting data shows that address corrections made within 6 hours of the first failed delivery attempt have a 95% success rate.

Tracking Status Meanings Explained

As your package moves through the delivery network, you will see different status labels. Here is what each one means:

Alphanumeric Format of Reference Codes

Your tracking reference is a combination of numbers, or sometimes numbers and letters, assigned when the parcel enters the system. Standard domestic codes are 11 to 13 digits. International packages use a format like LZ987654321US. The quickest way to find it is to check your order page or the text message the courier sent after pickup.

Studies on tracking errors show that mobile users make 15% more typos than desktop users when entering their receipt codes.

Choosing the Right Delivery Service Type

Depending on how fast you need the delivery and how large the package is, you can pick from these service options:

• Walk in Counter Service: Drop your package at a branch counter and the staff handles the rest.
• Pickup from Address: A rider comes to your location to collect the package at a booked time slot.
• Locker Pickup: Packages are delivered to a self service locker where the receiver collects them at any time.
• Cash Remittance: The courier collects money from the receiver and transfers it to the sender.
