Shipment tracking

With shipment tracking, you can keep a constant eye on your delivery and view its status at any time.

How can I track my shipment?

Simply enter the shipment number on your Paket or Express shipment in the entry box on the left and then click "Search now". You can also search for multiple shipments by separating the shipment numbers in the entry box with a comma, semi-colon or a new line. To search by reference number (only possible if the sender has provided you with this electronically), click on "Extended Search". On the right-hand side, you will find access to the shipment tracking systems for other types of shipment (letter, freight, etc.) for private and business customers.
