Amazon Parcel Tracking API

How accurate is Amazon tracking?

Amazon is one of the biggest Business-to-Consumer (B2C) eCommerce businesses. With roughly 2 million packages being shipped out by Amazon each day, there’s no guarantee that the eCommerce giant would spend a lot of money and time upgrading their tracking system.

Amazon has delivery services every day from 6 am to 10 pm so you can expect tracking to be accurate. On top of that, Amazon uses robotics to speed up the process of the parcels in fulfillment centres which in turn, increases the accuracy of the delivery time.

According to most shoppers, Amazon’s tracking is very accurate. Shoppers can track their packages on the Amazon app or website.

To track the package you ordered, you must first go to “Your Orders” then select the package that you want to track. After that, click on “Track Package” next to your order and you can click on “See all updates” to check the other delivery updates.

Sometimes you will not see the tracking information immediately. This occasion usually happens depending on the shipping method you have chosen. You have to wait for a few hours before tracking your packages.

Can a tracking API recognize an Amazon tracking number?

A tracking API detects number patterns of a tracking number through a series of events. In return, it gives you real-time updates of where a parcel is and an estimated time it will arrive. Whenever your site requests a tracking API, Ship24 will give real-time updates of the tracking number used.

Ship24, however, is not able to track the Amazon order number. An order number is different from a tracking number. Consequently, if an Amazon seller or merchant uses a third-party courier to transport their parcel, a tracking number is provided for that parcel. Only then can you request a tracking API to be able to track and get updates for your parcels.

How can I track my Amazon parcels using Ship24’s tracking API?

You can use Ship24’s tracking API to track Amazon parcels on third-party tracking sites. The most recommended site to track your parcels is Ship24. Ship24 gives you live updates on the location of your parcel and the date it will arrive at your doorstep. With Ship24, you can track up to 10 parcels at the same time without an account.

If you have already created an account, you can subscribe to our tracking API plan. There are two options for tracking API, “per-call” and “per-shipment”. We recommend the “per-shipment” plans for most users as it offers extensive features, has a reasonable price, and get tracking information faster.

Please note that Amazon’s order number and tracking number are different. Ship24 will not provide any information if the order number is the one that’s being tracked on Ship24.

Unless the merchant has sent the parcel through a courier such as DHL, UPS, USPS, China Post, etc…, the chosen courier will provide a tracking number. That tracking number is used to track parcels on Ship24. Ship24 will provide information regarding that parcel.

The tracking number can be found on the shipping label, the receipt, or via the confirmation email that the sender has provided. You can request the sender to give you the tracking number so that you can track your parcels and get real-time updates on where it is.

How can I get Amazon order details from Ship24’s tracking API?

In order to get Amazon order details using Ship24’s tracking API, you need to know your parcels’ tracking numbers. If the seller or merchant has sent your parcels through another courier, they should receive a tracking number. You can check the Amazon app to check if the seller has posted the tracking number on your “order” page. If they haven’t, you can contact the merchant or seller and request for the tracking number.

With the tracking number, there are several ways to get details on your parcels. One way is to use the app or the website. While the tracking can be accurate on the app or website, it can be a hassle to track several parcels on the app or website itself.

Another way to track your parcels is by using Ship24. Ship24 is a free, efficient, and time-saving platform where you can track up to 10 parcels in a few seconds. All you have to do to track your parcels is to copy the tracking numbers that have been provided by the seller or merchant and simply paste them on the homepage.

You should receive updates regarding your parcels after inputting the tracking numbers onto the website. Many status updates are depending on which courier the seller has chosen. Some updates include:

• Start and end date of the delivery
• Time of the delivery
• Origin and destination country of the parcel
• Weight of the parcel
• Whether the package has left or is leaving customs
• And several more updates!

Ship24 is the best place to track your parcels because of the accuracy and less time they consume to track your parcels.

How do I get real-time tracking of my Amazon parcel?

You can get real-time tracking of your Amazon parcel by downloading the Amazon mobile app or heading to their website.

If you are using a mobile device or a computer, you can log into your Amazon account and head over to “Track Package” beside your order to start tracking.

On top of the page, you should see the status of your delivery. You’ll see the estimated time of arrival of your packages. You will also see a timeline of the delivery of your package. There should be a checkmark beside the status and that should indicate that that part is completed.

Some indications that you should see are:

• Ordered today
• Shipped
• Out for delivery
• Arrival date/time

As customers, we should be aware that since this is an eCommerce giant, thousands of delivery drivers are on the road each day and that Amazon has logistics partners such as UPS and USPS.

Whenever you buy a product from Amazon, sellers have the option to use UPS, USPS, or other couriers. When they do that, you can check the app for the tracking number or request it from the seller if you did not see it on the app.

With the tracking number, you can use this to track your parcels on Ship24 for more accurate and detailed information about your parcel.
