- Tracking instructions
- Estimated delivery information
Tracking information may require 24–72 hours to become active after shipment creation.
This delay occurs because carriers require time to scan packages into their transportation systems.

Customers are responsible for monitoring shipment progress and ensuring availability to receive deliveries when necessary.

Lost package investigations may require:
