<h1>What You Must Know Regarding UPS Tracking</h1>

United Parcel Service (UPS)® is among the globe's most extensive and most dependable courier services, and via UPS tracking, e-commerce merchants and their customers can follow packages using different ways.

How to Monitor Your UPS Package?

UPS provides various ways to follow local or overseas shipments. To begin, you have to get a UPS tracking number, which is typically provided via email after making an e-commerce purchase or given to you when shipping a package from a retail outlet.

UPS gives an 18-digit tracking number that begins with 1Z, along with a 6-character shipper number (combination of numbers and letters), 2 service level indicator characters, and then 8 digits to identify the specific package.

Example:

  • IZ1234567891234567

Once you have the tracking number, you can check the shipping status through several methods.

How Long Does It Take for UPS Tracking to Update?

UPS updates tracking information throughout the shipping process by scanning barcodes at each new location. Tracking information should refresh nearly in real-time. Sometimes, drivers may delay scanning barcodes for various reasons, resulting in delayed tracking information.

What Happens When UPS Tracking Is Not Updating?

Users are usually advised to wait up to 24 hours for carriers to record their shipment's UPS tracking number. If your shipment's UPS tracking number isn't updating, it could mean the courier hasn't collected the package yet, or the package has been collected but hasn't been scanned. If it still hasn't updated after 24 hours, it's best to contact Easyship support directly to fix any issues.

Why isn't my UPS tracking number working?

All UPS tracking numbers are invalid if the courier hasn't collected the package yet. Another reason for an invalid tracking number could be that the package's barcode hasn't been scanned.

If your UPS tracking package shows it's out for delivery today, this basically means your package has been handed to a UPS driver and will be delivered that day.
