How to track a parcel with Interparcel

Whether you are sending a package within the UK or overseas, being able to track a package as it transitions through each stage of the shipping journey is a huge benefit to keeping you or the receiver in the loop.

At Interparcel, we understand the importance of reliable, accurate and accessible parcel tracking, so we provide our customers with multiple ways to track a package for free via our website. As a self-tracking service, you can track your order for every courier service you book with us, including Evri, DPD and UPS to name a few. Your tracking number will start with GB followed by 10 digits, e.g., GB1234567890. You can find the reference number in your order history or in the booking confirmation email.

Here are the different ways you can track your package with Interparcel:

Tracking portal

For Collection services, parcel tracking will start when your package is collected and scanned by the courier. Whereas, if you choose a Drop Off service, tracking with start once the courier scans and collects the parcel from the drop-off location which could be the next day depending on timings/routes. You can check the progress of your delivery online, 24 hours a day, via our Tracking Portal. Click on 'Track My Parcel' on the Interparcel website and type in your unique tracking number.

Once you have entered your tracking number, you can view both condensed tracking and detailed events updated by your courier.
