How to Track an Online Order or Package

Check shipment progress without relying on suspicious delivery messages.

Quick Answer

Open the retailer's official order page or manually enter the tracking number on the carrier's official website/app.

Step by Step

  1. Use the merchant, marketplace, carrier, bank, or card issuer's official website/app rather than a link in an unexpected email or text.
  2. Open the retailer's official order page or manually enter the tracking number on the carrier's official website/app.
  3. Save receipts, order numbers, tracking details, cancellation notices, and relevant communications.
  4. For unresolved billing or delivery problems, follow the official merchant/payment-provider escalation process and observe any applicable deadlines.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Pending authorizations, merchant billing names, refund timing, and dispute rights vary by merchant, financial institution, payment network, and transaction type.
  • Never send passwords, one-time verification codes, full card credentials, or remote computer access to someone who contacts you unexpectedly about an order or payment.
