Eurosender domestic and international parcel tracking – how does it work?
- For every parcel shipped through Eurosender, you will receive a tracking number via e-mail once the service is confirmed with the courier.
- The tracking number becomes functional once the parcel is collected, and the barcode is scanned for the first time in the depot.
- During transit, this barcode is scanned at every depot, updating the tracking system.
- We recommend forwarding the parcel tracking number to the recipient of the shipment and following the status of your parcel periodically.
- If the status in the tracking system has not changed in more than 48 hours, please send us a message, and we will check the situation.

These package statuses may appear in the tracking system in case of unsuccessful parcel pick-up. Please have in mind that the number of collection attempts and other working policies may differ depending on the courier company and country.
In the following situations, the courier driver will attempt to collect the parcel again on the next working day. In some cases, the order will have to be rebooked if the customer wants another pick-up attempt.
