Track Amazon Shipments and Check Order Status

Track an Amazon Shipment from Your Account
Open {site}, select Sign In, and enter the email address or mobile number connected to the order. Confirm that you are using the correct Amazon account if you have more than one.
- Open Returns & Orders or Your Orders.
- Find the order you want to check. Use the order-history filters if it is not shown near the top.
- Select Track package beside the relevant item.
- Review the latest scan, estimated delivery information, and shipment progress.
An order containing several items may be divided into separate shipments. Check each package listed under the order. This is the most reliable way to track Amazon shipments and see whether individual items are moving on different schedules.
If Track package is missing, the order may not have shipped yet, tracking may not be available, or you may be viewing the wrong account. Open Order details to confirm the order number, shipping address, and item.
Track a Shipment Without Signing In
Some Amazon shipment tracking information can be shared with a recipient. If another person placed the order, ask that person to open its tracking page and use the available sharing option. The resulting message may provide a limited tracking view without exposing the full account or order history.
For a gift, check the shipment notification or gift-related message sent by Amazon. If it contains an official Track package button or shared tracking link, use that option. Do not enter account information on a link received from an unknown sender.
If no official message or shared link is available, the person who placed the order usually needs to check the status while signed in. A tracking number may also work through the named carrier, but not every shipment has a public carrier number. There is no single method that can track every Amazon order without account access.
Understand the Shipment Status
The Amazon shipment status summarizes the most recent information received from the fulfillment system or carrier. Common labels include:
- Shipped: The package has left a fulfillment location or entered the carrier network. It may not have a detailed scan yet.
- Out for delivery: The package is on the local delivery route. This does not guarantee arrival at a particular time.
- Delivered: The carrier marked the package as delivered. The tracking page may identify a location, recipient, or delivery photo.
- Delayed: The expected delivery information changed because the shipment did not progress as planned. Follow the latest instructions shown with the order.
- Delivery attempted: The driver could not complete delivery. The status may explain the reason or show whether another attempt or pickup option is planned.
Tracking events can appear out of order or take time to post. Treat the order page as the current summary, then compare it with the carrier details when those details are available.
Find the Carrier and Tracking Number
Open Your Orders, select the order, and choose Track package or View order details. The tracking panel may name the carrier and display a tracking number, shipment ID, or link to more tracking details.
If a number is shown, copy it carefully and use only the carrier identified on the order page. Some Amazon-managed deliveries use shipment identifiers that do not work in another carrier’s tracking system. In that case, continue checking the Amazon order page.
When several packages belong to one order, each package can have a different carrier or tracking identifier. Expand each shipment rather than assuming the first number covers the full order.
What to Do When Tracking Does Not Update
If you need to check Amazon shipment status and the information is unavailable or unchanged, start with these checks:
- Refresh the order page and sign out, then sign in again if the page appears incomplete.
- Confirm that you opened the account used for the order.
- Look for separate shipments within the same order.
- Compare the order’s delivery information with the latest tracking event, not an older notification.
- Check for a message requesting an address correction, access instruction, or other action.
- If a carrier is listed, compare its status with the Amazon tracking page.
A label can be created before the carrier posts its first movement scan. Scans can also be missed or delayed. If the expected delivery information has passed, use the help option attached to that specific order rather than relying only on repeated refreshes.
Report a Missing or Incorrectly Delivered Package
When tracking says Delivered but the package is not visible, open the tracking details and read the delivery location. Check the front door, side or rear entrance, mail area, parcel locker, building desk, and any safe place noted in the status.
If a delivery photo is available, compare it with your entrance or nearby locations. Ask household members, building staff, and immediate neighbors whether they accepted or moved the package. Also confirm that the shipping address on the order is correct.
If the package remains missing, open the order in Your Orders and select the available problem, package-help, or customer-service option. Choose the description that matches what happened, such as a package marked delivered but not received or delivery to the wrong location. Keep the order number and any relevant photo or carrier message ready.
Contact Amazon About a Shipment
For unresolved tracking, delivery, or account-access problems, open {site} and select Customer Service. Signing in first allows Amazon to connect the request with the correct order. Choose the order, then select the issue that best matches the shipment problem.
Use only the contact choices presented through the official Customer Service process. Available choices can depend on the issue and account. Have the order number, item name, shipping address, tracking details, and a short description of the problem ready.
If you cannot sign in, start with the official sign-in recovery option. Do not share a password, verification code, or full payment details with anyone claiming that those details are required to track an Amazon shipment.
