Global Parcel Tracking: What to Know Before You Order from LightInTheBox

Direct Answer: How Global Parcel Tracking Works with LightInTheBox

Before you place an international order, one of the most practical questions to ask is: What should I know about global parcel tracking before I decide? The short answer is that LightInTheBox offers several shipping methods with different tracking capabilities, delivery timeframes, and price points. Your choice will determine how closely you can follow your package from the warehouse to your door.

Tracking availability is not uniform across all shipping options. Some methods—like Global Postal Service without tracking—offer no visibility once your order leaves the warehouse. Others, such as Global Expedited Express carried by DHL, UPS, FedEx, or TNT, provide step-by-step updates throughout the journey. Understanding these differences before checkout helps you match your tracking expectations with the right shipping method.

Once your order ships, LightInTheBox sends a Shipping Confirmation Email containing your tracking number. This email includes a link that redirects you to the carrier’s website—such as UPS or DHL—where you can enter the tracking code for real-time status updates. You can also monitor progress directly from your account.

To make a fully informed decision, you need to consider more than just the tracking number itself. Here are the key dimensions that affect your experience:

Timing of tracking activation: Tracking updates may not appear immediately after shipment. For postal methods, updates can lag for 2–5 business days after dispatch due to handoffs between national postal systems and regional sorting facilities. Express couriers generally activate tracking within 24 hours.

Level of update granularity: Postal tracking typically shows only major events—acceptance, departure from origin country, arrival in destination country, and final delivery. Express options like DHL and FedEx provide detailed scans at transit hubs, customs processing, and out-for-delivery stages.

Carrier handoff complexities: Packages using Global Postal Service may be transferred from the sending postal system to the receiving country’s postal service, creating a gap in updates during international transit. This handoff is common and does not indicate a lost package.

Customs status visibility: Delays at customs are a frequent source of tracking confusion. Tracked postal methods may show "held at customs" or similar notifications, but express couriers offer more granular status like "clearance in progress" or "duties paid."

Real-time alerts and notifications: Some carriers—especially DHL, UPS, and FedEx—allow you to register on their websites for proactive email or SMS alerts when tracking status changes. This capability varies by carrier and destination.

Technical limitations of your account: The LightInTheBox tracking interface may update less frequently than the carrier’s own system. For the most current status, visit the carrier’s website directly using the tracking number from your shipping confirmation email.

Handling of incomplete or delayed scans: In rare cases, a package may show "picked up" or "in transit" for days without subsequent scans, especially for budget postal methods with less frequent tracking checkpoints.

Customer support and claim processes: If tracking shows a package as delivered but you have not received it, LightInTheBox’s support team can initiate an investigation. By contrast, if a tracked package stops updating entirely, you may need to wait a specified period—often 30 days for postal methods—before filing a claim.

The role of tracking in loss coverage: For untracked shipments, proving that a package was lost—and thereby triggering a refund or reshipment—can be more difficult. With tracking, you have verifiable evidence of the package’s last known location, simplifying dispute resolution.

Understanding tracking numbers: A tracking number format varies by carrier (e.g., DHL numbers often start with three letters followed by nine digits). The Shipping Confirmation Email will always include the correct number format for the carrier used.

Keep in mind that delivery times, carrier availability, and policy details can change and vary by destination. Always verify current shipping options and tracking terms in your account or on the official LightInTheBox shipping information pages before making a final decision.

What Shipping & Tracking Options Are Available?

LightInTheBox provides multiple shipping methods, each with its own balance of cost, speed, and tracking capability. The table below summarizes the main options and their typical delivery windows:

Global Postal Service – No Tracking

This is typically the most economical option and is carried by national postal services. It charges by actual package weight with no minimum per-package fee, making it suitable for small, lightweight orders. However, the major drawback is the absence of tracking. LightInTheBox does not recommend this method for orders over USD $30 because you cannot monitor the package’s progress.

Global Postal Service – Tracking

This method also relies on national postal services but includes tracking capability. Couriers charge a fixed tracking fee per package, typically USD $1–3. The delivery window is 10–18 business days. LightInTheBox recommends this option to improve your overall experience, as it provides visibility without a significant price increase.

Global Expedited Postal

For faster delivery, Global Expedited Postal takes 5–8 business days and is provided by EMS or other specialized global e-commerce shipping couriers. This method is highly recommended for oversized packages or items with shipping restrictions—such as those containing liquids, batteries, powders, or gels that cannot be shipped via expedited express services. For orders of USD $60 or more, LightInTheBox recommends using Global Expedited Postal or Global Expedited Express to ensure fast delivery.

Priority Line

Priority Line offers a middle ground between speed and cost. With tracking support and 4–7 business days delivery, it is faster than Postal Expedited but cheaper than Express Expedited. This option balances speed and cost while providing peace of mind through tracking. Note that this service is labeled "Economy Air" for customers in the United States.

Global Expedited Express

Global Expedited Express is the fastest shipping option, taking 3–4 business days, and is carried by DHL, UPS, FedEx, or TNT. The tracking for this method is described as "far superior" to other options, with updates at every step of the journey. The main drawback is a minimum charge of USD $10–15 per package, making it most economical for orders of at least USD $40. All expedited deliveries require a signature upon arrival and may not be suitable for P.O. Box addresses—if a P.O. Box is provided, LightInTheBox may contact you for an alternate address to avoid delays.

How to Track Your Package in Your Account

Once your order ships, tracking is straightforward through your LightInTheBox account. Follow these steps to check your order status:

1. Log in to your LightInTheBox account and navigate to My Orders.
2. Click the Order Number for the order you want to track.
3. Click the "Track" button or the "Track this order" link located next to the tracking number.
4. You’ll see one of two outcomes:
   • A popup appears showing tracking details directly.
   • You are redirected to the shipping company’s website, where you can enter your tracking number for the latest status.

Important note: Tracking is not always available for the Global Postal Service – No Tracking (FREE Shipping) option. If you choose this method, you may not see any tracking updates in your account.

You will also receive a Shipping Confirmation Email once your order has shipped. This email contains your tracking number and a link to the carrier’s website—such as UPS or DHL—where you can follow your package’s progress directly.

How to Check Fit, Compatibility, or Terms Before Buying

Before finalizing any international order, a shopper should verify that their chosen items, shipping method, and delivery terms align with their needs. This section covers how to check fit, compatibility, and terms at every stage of the purchase journey within the context of global parcel tracking.

1. Check the shipping method’s tracking scope and limitations.

Not all shipping methods are equal when it comes to tracking visibility. Start by reviewing the shipping options available at checkout. For each method, note its delivery timeframe, tracking availability, and any restrictions (e.g., P.O. Box not accepted for expedited express). Then match the method to your needs:

• Need low cost and don’t care about visibility? Choose Global Postal Service – No Tracking, but only for orders under USD $30 and if you accept the risk of no status updates.
• Need to know where your package is? Choose Global Postal Service – Tracking or a faster tracked method.
• Need real-time, step-by-step updates? Choose Global Expedited Express for the most comprehensive tracking experience.

2. Verify the destination country’s customs and import rules before checkout.

Parcel tracking can tell you a package has reached your country, but it cannot tell you what customs fees will apply. Before buying, check your country’s import duty thresholds and customs regulations. The LightInTheBox checkout page typically indicates whether Duty & Tax Insurance is available for your destination. If you expect customs charges, either budget for them or purchase Duty & Tax Insurance to cover the fees.

3. Confirm the package’s size and weight match the shipping method’s price model.

Each shipping method has its own pricing model—by actual weight, by fixed tracking fee, or by minimum charge. Before placing an order, estimate the package dimensions and weight. Use the checkout calculator to see which method is the most cost-effective for your package. This prevents unpleasant pricing surprises later.

4. Check whether the item is eligible for your chosen shipping method.

Some products are restricted from certain shipping options. For example, items containing liquids, batteries, powders, or gels cannot be shipped via Global Expedited Express due to airline restrictions. In such cases, LightInTheBox may automatically steer you to Global Expedited Postal or another appropriate method. To avoid order delays, verify that the item is compatible with the shipping method you prefer before finalizing.

5. Verify that your delivery address is valid and usable for the shipping method.

Before checkout, check whether your chosen method supports delivery to P.O. Boxes. Express services require a physical address because a signature is needed upon delivery. If you live at a P.O. Box address, choose a postal-based method instead, or be prepared to provide a physical address if you select express shipping.

6. Check the coverage of shipping insurance relative to your order value.

Shipping insurance is available at checkout and covers loss or damage during transit. Its cost is based on package value and historical loss rates. If your order is high-value, confirm that the insurance coverage you purchase fully covers the cost of your items. If not, additional coverage may be necessary.

7. Verify the practical terms of duty and tax insurance.

Duty & Tax Insurance reimburses you for any customs charges you incur. Read the terms of this coverage at checkout to understand what is covered and what the claim process is. Ensure you keep a record of any customs charges to support a claim.

8. Check the carrier’s tracking website compatibility with your device.

Some carrier tracking pages require JavaScript or a newer browser version. Make sure you can access the tracking portal on your phone or desktop. If you encounter issues, use the LightInTheBox account tracking interface as an alternative.

9. Check for tracking update frequency and how to interpret scans.

Understand what each tracking scan means. "Shipment information received" means the label is created but the package has not been dropped off. "In transit" means the package is moving. "Out for delivery" means it is on its way to your address. If a package doorstep ID is "delivered" but you have not received it, check with neighbors, building management, or the carrier’s claims process.

10. Verify the return policy and how tracking affects claims.

If you need to file a missing package claim, a tracking record is crucial. For untracked shipments, the claim process may be delayed to allow for slower transit. Check LightInTheBox’s return/refund policies for the specific shipping method you plan to choose to understand how tracking evidence factors into timelines.

11. Check the shipping confirmation email’s accuracy.

When your order ships, verify that the tracking number in the Shipping Confirmation Email matches the one in your account. If there is a discrepancy, contact customer support immediately.

12. Compare delivery time against the urgency of your need.

If you need the item by a specific date, check the estimated delivery window for your chosen method and add a buffer for holidays or peak seasons. For urgent needs, Global Expedited Express (3–4 business days) is the safest option.

13. Check the terms and conditions regarding lost or delayed packages.

LightInTheBox’s terms may define specific timelines for your package to be considered lost. For postal methods, this could be 30–60 days from shipment. For express methods, it may be shorter. Knowing these terms prevents frustration if tracking becomes dormant.

14. For multiple items, check if they will ship separately.

Your final purchase may have multiple items that ship from different warehouses, resulting in multiple tracking numbers. LightsInTheBox typically sends a separate Shipping Confirmation Email for each shipment. Verify that you receive all expected tracking numbers.

15. Check delivery scanning at the doorstep.

For expensive items, ask whether the carrier requires a signature or leaves packages at the door. If the package is left without a signature, be prepared to retrieve it promptly to prevent theft.

16. Pre-register for carrier alerts.

After receiving your tracking number, go to the carrier’s website (DHL, UPS, FedEx) and register for email or SMS notifications. These proactive alerts inform you when the courier is close and when your package arrives.

17. Confirm that any applicable tariff codes are correct on customs declarations.

If you are shipping to a country with strict customs, an incorrect tariff code can cause delays that disrupt tracking schedules. LightInTheBox handles declarations, but if your item falls under a restricted category, the parcel may be flagged. Check with LightInTheBox if you have specific concerns.

18. If ordering for a gift, check whether the receiver can track their package.

Some couriers allow package recipients to set up their own alerts. Forward the tracking number to the recipient and instruct them to register with the carrier’s website for updates.

19. Review the estimated delivery date on the checkout page, not just the business day range.

Business day ranges are accurate for normal periods. During holiday seasons (Black Friday, Christmas, Chinese New Year), delivery may take longer. Verify the checkout page’s estimated date and build in a buffer if the purchase is time critical.

20. For remote or rural areas, check if the chosen carrier delivers there.

DHL, UPS, and FedEx often serve business centers better than remote areas. For rural postal codes, you may face an additional "remote area surcharge" or longer delivery times. Choose a postal method if you live far from major transport hubs.

21. Check if the package can be delivered to an alternate address if you are away.

For express deliveries, you can often use a work address or a collection point. For postal deliveries, you may need to coordinate a pickup at a local post office. Check the carrier’s policies to avoid missed deliveries.

22. Verify whether tracking data is standardized to your time zone.

Tracking timestamps are often in the carrier’s local time zone, which may differ from yours. When analyzing updates, account for the time difference to accurately measure progression.

23. Check if LightInTheBox offers any insurance for full coverage on fragile items.

Fragile items like electronics or glass may need careful handling. Review the carrier’s packaging requirements and LightInTheBox’s guidance to ensure your item is protected. Shipping insurance covers physical damage if packaging has been compromised.

24. Confirm your payment method’s chargeback protection for untracked orders.

Some credit card providers have limited protection if a package cannot be shown as delivered. If you choose the non-tracked postal method, check your payment provider’s policy and consider using a tracked method for your own protection.

25. Check whether the package can be redirected during transit.

If you realize your address is incorrect in order to add additional information, contact LightInTheBox’s customer service immediately. Some carriers allow redirects, but the process varies and may incur an extra fee.

26. Review the shipping restrictions for your country.

Some destinations banned certain materials or products. If your order contains a restricted item, it could be seized by customs, causing delays or loss. Before ordering, confirm the product is legal in your destination country.

27. Check LightInTheBox’s live chat for pre-shipment questions.

LightInTheBox has customer support that can answer tracking-related questions before you buy. Use their live chat to clarify any policy you do not understand.

28. For large or bulky items, check if the shipping method includes liftgate service.

Heavy packages may require a liftgate or two-person delivery. Check the carrier’s service terms at checkout. If not included, you may need to make arrangements with the carrier directly.

29. Confirm whether the tracking number works on third-party trackers.

Many third-party tracking services (like 17TRACK or AfterShip) support all major carriers. They can consolidate tracking from multiple packages into one dashboard. Verify that your tracking number format is compatible with these services.

30. Check the possible holiday schedule impact on the carrier.

During national holidays in the destination country—or in the origin country (e.g., Chinese New Year)—carriers may be closed. This can delay tracking updates for several days. Factor this into your delivery expectations.

31. Review the tracking page description for what "delivered" means for your carrier.

For some couriers, a package left at a specified safe place is labeled "delivered in safe place." For others, it may say "held at customs" until payment of duties. Understanding the language used prevents confusion.

32. Check your spam folder for tracking emails.

Shipping Confirmation Emails can sometimes land in spam. If you are waiting for a tracking number, check your spam folder or use the account’s "resend tracking information" feature.

33. Verify that all contact information is correct on your LightInTheBox account.

Your email and phone number are used for tracking notifications and delivery updates. Update any incorrect contact details to ensure you receive alerts.

34. For a business purchase, check if your company has a carrier account that can expedite customs clearance.

Sometimes federal/local clearance can be expedited if you provide your tax ID or importer number. Check with the carrier’s website for options to input these details.

35. If the package is urgent, check if LightInTheBox can upgrade the shipping method after checkout.

In some cases, you can contact customer service to upgrade shipping. The support team will confirm whether an upgrade is possible and whether you need to pay the price difference.

36. Check the expected number of days for the tracking status to update after the package leaves the warehouse.

For some postal methods, the first tracking scan may appear 72 hours after you receive the shipping email. Do not panic if no status is shown immediately.

37. Check whether the local post office or courier may request a home address for final delivery.

If your local customs process requires a physical address for clearance, the carrier may contact you for additional information. Provide this promptly to avoid delays.

38. Check whether the tracking status "available for pickup" means the package may be at a collection point.

Some carriers deliver to a local pickup point rather than your home, especially in remote or high-theft areas. Read each update carefully, noting any pickup instructions.

39. For international shipments, check if the package requires an invoice for customs.

The carrier’s tracking updates may show "clearance in progress" while awaiting your invoice. Ensure the correct invoice is filed with the package declaration to prevent delays.

40. Confirm any restrictions on gift wrapping and its impact on customs declaration.

If you select gift wrapping, the customs declaration might be marked as a gift, which can affect duty thresholds or be disallowed in some countries (e.g., the US). Verify first to avoid negative outcomes.

41. Use LightInTheBox’s mobile app to track-on-the-go.

The LightInTheBox app supports push notifications for order updates, making it easier to follow your package on your phone without logging in each time.

42. Verify whether you can track multiple orders simultaneously.

The LightInTheBox account dashboard typically shows all orders at once. If you have several items in one purchase that are shipped separately, review all relevant tracking numbers on one screen.

43. Check the product page’s shipping restrictions section.

Each product page may list specific shipping restrictions at the bottom. Verify that your item can be shipped via your preferred method.

44. If the package does not move for more than 10 days for tracked methods, flag it.

For tracked postal and express methods, a 10-day inactivity period warrants investigation. Contact LightInTheBox support with your tracking number and request a trace.

45. Verify the delivery address can receive the package during business hours.

Some express carriers do not deliver to residential areas on weekends. If you work during weekdays, consider using a work address or a flexible delivery preference like a pickup point.

46. Check the fee for a re-delivery attempt if you miss the courier.

Missed express deliveries may incur a re-delivery fee. Check the carrier’s policy at checkout so you don’t encounter a surprise charge if you must reschedule.

47. Check the electronic signature options.

For express deliveries, some carriers allow you to pre-authorize electronic signatures to ensure the package is lodged without your physical presence. Check with the carrier’s website for your preferred method.

48. Review the "leave at door" policy for your specific carrier.

If you have safe drop preferences, register these instructions with the carrier. Use the carrier’s app or website to set delivery instructions.

49. Verify that the ship-from location may be different than expected.

LightInTheBox has multiple warehouses. A tracking number can start with a code that identifies the origin warehouse only if the carrier’s formatting uses such a code. This can help infer the transit path.

50. For items that include batteries, check variable delivery times.

Batteries require special handling; additional customs declaration may be necessary, leading to longer delivery timeframes. Check the product page or contact support for accurate estimates.

51. Confirm that your shipping method includes protection against theft or loss.

Standard shipping does not cover theft or loss; shipping insurance does. If you live in a high-risk area, strongly consider adding shipping insurance at checkout.

52. Check LightInTheBox’s policy for handling delayed customs inspections.

Customs inspections can take anywhere from a day to several weeks. LightInTheBox cannot expedite customs inspections. For time-sensitive orders, this is a key risk to understand.

53. For last-mile delivery, check who might be collecting the package.

LightInTheBox may partner with local couriers that track the package under a different tracking number. For full visibility, query either the carrier link in the shipping email or ask the customer support for the final mile tracking number.

54. Check if you can change the delivery location after shipment.

Most carriers allow address changes, but there may be a deadline. Contact the carrier directly with your tracking number; do not wait too long.

55. Verify the international tracking number length ensures it is single for carriers.

Some countries use tracking numbers with an extra country code when entering local systems. Check whether the number includes a space between the code and the digits on the carrier site.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

International shoppers often encounter avoidable tracking and delivery issues. Keep these points in mind:

Mistake 1: Choosing "No Tracking" for high-value orders. Without tracking, you cannot confirm delivery or identify where a package may be delayed. For orders over USD $30, LightInTheBox explicitly does not recommend this method. Selecting a tracked option gives you visibility and peace of mind.

Mistake 2: Assuming all tracking is the same. Postal tracking often provides fewer updates than express courier tracking. If you want step-by-step visibility, Global Expedited Express offers the most detailed tracking experience, with updates throughout the journey.

Mistake 3: Using a P.O. Box for express delivery. Expedited deliveries require a signature, and P.O. Box addresses may not be suitable. If you provide a P.O. Box, the company may contact you for a physical address, potentially delaying delivery. Check whether your chosen shipping method supports P.O. Boxes before checkout.

Mistake 4: Overlooking duties and taxes. Each country has different rules concerning import duties and taxes. You may be charged upon arrival, and the customer is responsible for these charges. LightInTheBox recommends purchasing Duty & Tax Insurance at checkout to cover any additional fees that may be incurred.

Mistake 5: Skipping shipping insurance. Couriers typically provide minimal or no direct shipping insurance. LightInTheBox offers shipping insurance on the checkout page, with rates based on millions of packages tracked monthly to calculate loss and damage rates. Adding this coverage is usually affordable and can protect your purchase.

Mistake 6: Not verifying shipping restrictions for restricted items. Items like liquids, batteries, powders, or gels cannot be shipped via certain express options. Ignoring these restrictions can delay your order or require a rebooking at a higher cost.

Mistake 7: Ignoring the correct notification settings. If you do not register for carrier notifications, you may miss critical status updates like "out for delivery." Sign up with your carrier to receive emails or SMS messages.

Mistake 8: Providing an incorrect or incomplete address. A typo may be enough to cause delivery failure or returned packages. Double-check the address before finalizing your order, and verify the postcode and street name.

Mistake 9: Not checking if the item ships from a different warehouse or in multiple packages. If you order multiple items, they may ship separately and have different tracking numbers. Missing one tracking number can mean missing a delivery.

Mistake 10: Assuming the exact delivery date is guaranteed. Business day ranges are estimates, not guarantees. Holidays, weather, and customs can change days. Use the tracking information to plan for a realistic delivery window.

Mistake 11: Failure to track until after the package arrives. For example, a package marked "delivered" may tempt you to check later, but thieves can steal packages quickly. Track the last-mile carefully, especially for high-value items.

Mistake 12: Not saving the shipping confirmation email. The email contains the tracking number and the carrier’s link. If you need to file a claim, keep this email accessible. Do not delete it prematurely.

Mistake 13: Not knowing the time limit to file claims. LightInTheBox and carriers have specific deadlines for filing claims (often 30–90 days from ship date). Missing the deadline can forfeit your right to compensation. Check the terms for your shipping method.

Mistake 14: Not considering the final mile courier’s tracking. As mentioned, the last-mile leg may have a different tracking number than the international leg. If the final update on the primary tracking number is vague, check the local courier’s website using their code.

Mistake 15: Using a third-party tracker incorrectly. Third-party trackers may update more slowly than the carrier’s site. For the most current status, always cross-reference with the carrier’s official tracking page.

Mistake 16: Forgetting to update phone or email in your account. Carrier notifications and tracking emails are useless if your contact details are outdated. Update your profile before ordering.

Verification Checklist

Use this checklist before placing your LightInTheBox order:

• Confirm your budget for shipping and choose a method that fits your tracking needs.
• Check if your item is restricted or oversized for your chosen method (e.g., liquids, batteries).
• Verify that the delivery address is accurate and fits the chosen shipping method (e.g., no P.O. Box for express).
• Understand the delivery time and whether it meets your deadline.
• Review the customs/duty situation for your country and consider Duty & Tax Insurance.
• Decide whether shipping insurance is worth the cost given the order value.
• Look at the estimated delivery date on the checkout page, not just the range.
• Plan to save the shipping confirmation email for each separate shipment.
• Register with the carrier for alerts once you have the tracking number.
• Keep the tracking number accessible for direct carrier lookups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I track every order I place on LightInTheBox?
No. Tracking is not available for the Global Postal Service – No Tracking option. For all other shipping methods, tracking is provided either through your account or the carrier’s website.

How long does international delivery take?
Delivery timeframes vary by shipping method: 10–20 business days for postal without tracking, 10–18 for postal with tracking, 5–8 for expedited postal, 4–7 for Priority Line, 3–4 for Global Expedited Express, and 3–5 for local standard delivery.

What’s the most economical shipping option?
Global Postal Service – No Tracking is typically the most economical. It charges by actual weight with no minimum fee, but lacks tracking. For orders over USD $30, consider a tracked option instead.

Do I need to sign for expedited deliveries?
Yes, all expedited deliveries require a signature upon arrival. This is one reason P.O. Box addresses are not always suitable for these shipments.

Are there additional fees beyond the product price and shipping?
Potentially. Import duties and taxes vary by country, and the customer is responsible for these charges if they apply. Duty & Tax Insurance can reimburse you for these additional costs. Shipping insurance is also available to cover loss or damage during transit.

Where can I find current shipping and tracking information?
Shipping policies, delivery times, and carrier options can change. For the most up-to-date information, review the LightInTheBox Global Shipping Guide or check the How can I track my package? page. You can also find detailed answers about delivery estimates, shipping costs, and customs requirements on the LightInTheBox shipping FAQ pages. Always verify current terms in your account or the official help center before placing an order.

What should I do if my package tracking does not update for 10 days?
Contact LightInTheBox customer support with your tracking number and request a trace for tracked methods. For untracked methods, you may need to wait longer before filing a claim.

Can I combine tracking information for multiple packages shipped separately?
Yes. The LightInTheBox account dashboard shows all orders at once. Each package has its own tracking number and Shipping Confirmation Email. You may use third-party tracking aggregators like 17TRACK to consolidate them into one view.

How do I know if my package is stuck in customs?
Check for tracking statuses like "clearance in progress" or "held by customs." Express couriers provide detailed updates, but for postal methods, customs status may be vague. If there is no update for several days, contact the local post office or the carrier with your tracking number.

What if I miss my delivery?
Carriers will leave a notice with instructions for rescheduling or pickup. For express couriers, you may incur a re-delivery fee. Check the carrier’s website for options to authorize an electronic signature or schedule a new delivery slot.
