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
