When available, you can switch to a different day, choose a safe place or neighbor, or redirect to a Pickup shop/locker directly from the tracking link or app. In some countries, live tracking narrows the arrival to a short time window on the day of delivery.

Classic vs Home vs Air/Express

  • Classic: road service across Europe with day-definite delivery and live tracking.
  • Home: consumer-focused option; similar road network with features such as Predict for recipients.
  • Air Classic / Express: air services for faster or long-distance routes; timing and availability vary by country.

Quick fixes if tracking is blank

  • Re-enter the number without spaces; most Classic labels use 14 digits.
  • Try again after the first depot scan; labels created early may show no events yet.
  • Use the local form that accepts reference + postcode if the parcel number is missing on your receipt.
