Common Delivery Issues: Stuck in Transit or Failed Attempts

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

Scan pauses happen because delivery vehicles do not carry scanning devices. The driver drops parcels at the next depot, and a staff member scans them. That is when the update appears.

Parcel Delayed

Weather disruptions, vehicle breakdowns, and route changes can all cause delays. If the estimated delivery date has passed, contact the local branch to ask about your specific package.

Delivery Failed

When the courier fails to deliver, your package is held at the nearest office for 3 to 5 days. Contact the branch or check your text messages for instructions on how to pick it up or retry.

Lost Shipment

If tracking shows no movement for 10 or more days, there is a chance the barcode label was damaged and the parcel was placed in an unidentified items bin. Contact Zim Container to investigate.

Customs Delay

If tracking shows the package is with customs, it means the package arrived in the destination country but has not been cleared for local delivery yet. Check for any duty payment notifications.

Carrier analytics show that 84% of delivery scan pauses resolve within 36 hours once the truck reaches the next distribution center.
