Where to Find Your Tracking Number
Shipping Confirmation Email
When your order ships, the seller sends a confirmation email containing the tracking number. Search your inbox for 'shipping confirmation' or 'your order has shipped'.
Order Page on Merchant Website
Log into the website where you made your purchase. Go to 'Order History' or 'My Orders' to find tracking information for shipped items.
Shopify Store Order Confirmation
If you purchased from a Shopify store, check your order confirmation email or the order status page link provided by the seller.
Shipping Label (If You're Sending)
If you're the shipper, the tracking number is printed on the shipping label, usually as both a barcode and text below it.
Shipping Receipt
If you shipped from a carrier location or drop-off point, the tracking number is on your receipt.

Tips for Finding Tracking Numbers
- Search your email for keywords like “shipped”, “tracking”, or “on its way” to find shipping notifications.
- Check spam/junk folders — shipping confirmation emails sometimes get filtered.
- Contact the seller if you can't find your tracking number. They can resend the shipping confirmation or provide tracking details.
- Allow 24 hours after receiving a tracking number before checking — carriers need time to scan the package into their system.
