If it is a very recently posted item the tracking sometimes doesn't kick in for a while.

Give it 24 hours and then try again.

contact the seller and ask is the tracking number correct, its easy to make an error when typing in a tracking number.

I wouldnt bother chasing it up, No such thing as tracking a parcel, tracking is seeing where your parcel is at the moment, that doesnt exist. Tracking is knowing where something is between A and Z, eg now its at D, now P, now X, it just doesnt do it, all what tracking does is tell you its been posted at the PO and when its arrived. Wheres the tracking? You can get the same thing by registering your email with aus post, you then get an email saying you have a parcel.

Apart from the fact that the OP has come back and confirmed that they are now able to track their parcel, your advice is completely inappropriate.

Tracking IS available on parcels sent through Australia Post

Not sure which site you look at, or which rock you're under, but I have no issues with tracking. In fact, everytime there is a tracking event, I get a notification on my phone via the My Post app. Unless it's something going to a neighbouring area, I get tracking notifications most days, even if it's stuck at Chullora for a few days.

If I give the PO the buyers email address at time of posting, they get emails every time there is a tracking event. The few I have done it for thought it was great. They didn't need to keep checking the AP site if they wanted to see where their parcel was up to.

i rekon the members who believe traking does excist and works would be in the thousands. the number of members who believe tracking is a fake at the latest count is, um, 1

I want anyone to show me (via screen snapshot) the towns that this so called tracking provides, , where the parcel was posted, a few towns in between and when it arrives at its destination. For example, the parcels posted in melbourne and destinations Mildura, then if its proper tracking that every one suggests it is then it should show ballarat, St Arnaud, swan hill, Ouyen, mildura, (final destination) as an example. Ive only seen it when its been posted and when its arrived , nothing inbetween.

So they are supposed to stop the trucks at every town and scan every single parcel before they drive to the next town?

How much extra do you suggest AP charge us all for this pointless information?

Re: tracking number help

lyndal1838 — Thu, 14 Apr 2016 13:11:11 GMT

You are joking aren't you?

Parcels are not scanned at every town along the way to their destination.

It would take forever for them to arrive at their destination.

The usual procedure is for the parcel to be scanned in at the receiving post office, then at the main mail exchange where it would be loaded onto transport for the trip to the main mail centre in the state it is going to. Depending on how far that is from it's final destination there may be more tracking events before it is finally delivered to the addressee.

Better yet, why not a live video feed of the entire postal route...

what you are talking about is every parcel being fitted with a satelite tracking device. hmm, i'm sure if you would be happy to pay several hundred dollars per parcel it could be done that way. i think you should ring the CEO of AP and suggest it. i think he will give you a job in his ideas department.

He's an ideas man!

See NO ONE can provide a snap shop of their tracking to show what towns their parcel has gone through.

*Sigh* Of course it is not scanned at every town on the route. It does not stop at every town otherwise it would take weeks to arrive.

Have you even read the answers you were given earlier?
