Walmart Tracking Number
Shops
Your Walmart tracking number lets you see carrier scans and delivery progress. This page explains how to use it on Ship24 or Walmart, where to find it, common problems, and how tracking numbers differ from order numbers.
How to use your Walmart tracking number
You can track in two places:
- Ship24: Paste the tracking number into the search bar to view scans from supported carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and others).
- Walmart (site or app): Go to Account → Purchase history, open the order, and select Track shipment.
Where to find your Walmart tracking number
- Shipping email: The shipping confirmation usually includes the number and a carrier link.
- Walmart account: Open Purchase history and view the order details.
- Guest checkout: Use the email and order number from your receipt to look up the order.
Order number vs tracking number
Order number: Identifies your purchase inside Walmart for support and returns.
Tracking number: Issued by the carrier to follow scans and delivery steps. Enter this number on Ship24 or Walmart to see status updates.
What a Walmart tracking number looks like
Formats vary by carrier. Here are common patterns you may see on Walmart orders:
| Carrier | Typical pattern | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| USPS | Samples like “9400 1000 0000 0000 0000 00” (numeric); some services use 2 letters + 9 digits + “US” | Pattern depends on service (e.g., Priority Mail, international labels). |
| UPS | Starts with 1Z + 16 more characters (18 total) | Example: 1Z9999W9999999999. |
| FedEx | Often 12 or 15 digits (some services use other lengths) | Example: 9610 1385 2890 (12-digit) or 9610 1385 1287 3021 (15-digit). |
Common issues (and quick fixes)
- No scans yet: Activation can take 24–48 hours after handoff to the carrier. Check again later.
- Wrong or changed number (Marketplace): Sellers can correct a number shortly after shipping; a new number may appear after the first carrier scan.
- Carrier handoff: Parcels can move between carriers. Try the same number on Ship24 to see updates across supported carriers. If a new label was applied, check your order details for a replacement number.
- Marked delivered, not found: Check porches, parcel lockers, with neighbors or household members. If still missing, contact Walmart support with your order number.
- Suspicious texts/emails: Do not click unknown links. Go to Walmart.com or Ship24 directly and enter your number.
Do Walmart Marketplace orders track differently?
Marketplace sellers add a tracking number when they ship. After an order is marked “Shipped,” the number can be edited for a short window or until the first carrier scan appears. You can view the number in your Walmart account and paste it into Ship24 for live scans.
Quick tips
- Copy the tracking number exactly as shown (avoid extra spaces).
- Split shipments: each package may have its own number.
- Pickup orders may show a pickup code instead of a carrier number.
Frequently Asked Questions about Walmart tracking numbers
Where can I find my Walmart tracking number?
You can find it in the shipping confirmation email and in your Walmart account under Purchase history. If you checked out as a guest, use your email and order number to look up the order. The tracking number appears once the seller or Walmart hands the parcel to the carrier.
What is the difference between an order number and a tracking number?
Your order number identifies the purchase inside Walmart and is used for support or returns. A tracking number is created by the carrier and follows the parcel through each scan. Use the tracking number on Ship24 or in your Walmart account to view status updates.
Why is my Walmart tracking number not working yet?
Activation can take 24 to 48 hours after the parcel is handed to the carrier. Try again later and confirm you copied the number correctly. If nothing appears after a few days, contact Walmart support with your order number.
Do Walmart Marketplace orders track differently?
Marketplace sellers add a tracking number when they ship. The number can be corrected shortly after shipping or until the first carrier scan. You will see the updated number in your order details, and you can paste it into Ship24 to view scans.
My package shows delivered but I cannot find it. What should I do?
Check doorways, porches, parcel lockers, and ask household members or neighbors. Review the delivery photo or notes if available. If you still cannot locate the parcel, reach Walmart support and provide your order number and delivery date.
Why did the tracking stop updating or switch carriers?
Parcels sometimes move between carrier facilities or are handed to a regional partner. The original number often continues to work and will resume updates after the next scan. If a new label was applied, check your order details for a replacement number.
What do Walmart tracking numbers look like?
Formats depend on the carrier. USPS labels are usually long numeric strings or start with two letters and end with “US.” UPS numbers often begin with “1Z,” and FedEx numbers are commonly 12 or 15 digits. Copy the number exactly, without extra spaces.
Why do I have more than one tracking number for the same order?
Split shipments create separate packages, each with its own number. Check each package in your order details to see what is included and when it will arrive. Enter each number on Ship24 to follow its progress.
Do pickup orders have a tracking number?
Store pickup orders may show a pickup code instead of a carrier tracking number. Follow the instructions in your email or app to check in and collect the order. If part of the order ships to your address, that portion will have a tracking number.
How can I avoid fake tracking messages?
Do not click links in unexpected texts or emails. Go to Walmart.com or Ship24 directly and enter your tracking number. Report suspicious messages to your email provider or mobile carrier as spam or phishing.
