DTDC vs India Post (Speed Post): tracking compared
How tracking works with DTDC and India Post (Speed Post) — number formats, where to find your tracking number, live status and official trackers. We don't rank couriers on speed or price: those depend on the route, the seller and the service booked.

Which courier has my parcel?
When you buy online, the seller chooses the courier, not you. The shipping SMS, e-mail or the order page in the shop's app names the courier next to the tracking number. If you only have the number, paste it into the tracker with Auto-detect — if the format is shared by several couriers, we'll ask you to pick.
Sending a parcel yourself?
Check these on each courier's official website before you book:
- Does it deliver to the destination PIN code?
- The delivery estimate for your route and service
- The price for your parcel's actual and volumetric weight
- Cover for loss or damage (declared value or insurance)
- Pickup from your address, or drop-off at a counter
Good to know
DTDC
Common format
Many DTDC consignment numbers are one letter followed by eight digits (for example D12345678). Formats vary by service.
India Post (Speed Post)
The 13-character format
Most India Post articles use the international postal format: two letters, nine digits and “IN” — for example EE123456785IN. The ninth digit is a check digit, so CheckMyOrder can spot many typing mistakes before you search.
