Track a parcel with any carrier

Paste a tracking number and Labelbench opens the page that actually knows about it, with the number already filled in. It works for couriers and for national postal operators, including cross-border items that change hands partway.

Carriers that open directly

These open their own tracking page with your number already in it. Everything else in the picker, and any carrier not listed at all, goes through 17TRACK, which works the carrier out from the number.

Questions about tracking numbers

Can I track a parcel without an account?

Yes. Paste the number, pick a carrier or leave it on detect automatically, and the carrier’s own tracking page opens with the number already in the box. Nothing is stored and no sign-in is involved, on this site or, for tracking alone, on the carrier’s.

What do the last two letters of a tracking number mean?

On a cross-border postal item using the UPU S10 format, two letters then nine digits then two letters, the final pair is the ISO code of the country whose post office accepted the parcel. RR123456789GB was posted in the United Kingdom. The first two letters give the service class, with R for registered mail and E for express. Courier numbers such as UPS or FedEx follow no shared standard.

Why does my tracking number show nothing yet?

A number is usually created when the label is bought, not when the parcel is collected, so it can sit unrecognised for several hours. Cross-border items commonly show no movement until they clear the first customs point, which can take days. A number that returns nothing after a week is worth querying with whoever sold you the postage.

Does Labelbench issue tracking numbers?

No. Only a carrier can issue one, against an account held with them. The Code 128 barcode printed on a Labelbench label is your own order reference for internal sorting and no carrier network will recognise it. This page is a shortcut to someone else’s tracking screen, not a source of delivery information.

Which carriers can I track here?

The picker lists 129 options: ten global couriers and every national postal operator named in our country table, 118 of them. Thirty-two open their own tracking page directly. The rest, and anything not listed at all, go through 17TRACK, which identifies the carrier from the number itself and covers thousands more.

What this tool does, and what it cannot do

Labelbench does not issue tracking numbers, does not buy postage and has no connection to any carrier. The reference barcode printed on a label here is for your own sorting, and no carrier can scan it. If you have a real tracking number, it came from whoever you bought the shipping from, and this page is a shortcut to their tracking screen rather than a source of delivery information in its own right.

Reading a tracking number before you look it up

Cross-border postal items use a format set by the Universal Postal Union: two letters, nine digits, then two more letters. Those last two are the country code of the post office that accepted the parcel, so RR123456789GB started in the United Kingdom and LZ876543210FR started in France. The two letters at the front say what kind of service it was, with R for registered mail and E for express. Courier numbers follow no shared standard, which is why a UPS number starting 1Z looks nothing like a twelve-digit FedEx one.

Where to find the number

It is on the receipt from the post office counter, in the confirmation email from the shop you ordered from, or in the account area of whoever you bought the postage from. A number usually takes a few hours to appear in a carrier system after the parcel is accepted, and cross-border items often show nothing at all until they clear the first customs point.
