What is a FedEx Tracking Number?
I’m going to answer all your questions about how to track a FedEx package without a tracking number, but it’s helpful to know exactly what a tracking number is and what it’s used for.
Whenever you send a package through FedEx, your package is assigned a unique tracking number and associated barcode.
That is, FedEx typically uses 12-digit tracking numbers written in the following format (eg, 9999 9999 9999). However, the company also sometimes uses 15-digit tracking numbers.
Additionally, FedEx employees scan barcodes and update the item’s current location whenever an item arrives or leaves a FedEx facility.
So, this is what customers see when they enter their tracking number on the FedEx website.
Where can I find my FedEx tracking number?
If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve “lost” your tracking number.
So while the tracking number may be misplaced, there is a good chance you will find it again because FedEx has the tracking number written in many places.
For example, you can find your tracking number on the receipt after the package has been shipped. Often, FedEx employees will circle the number to make it easier for you to find.
Also, if you purchased a shipping label online, you’ll find your tracking number in the email.
Finally, your tracking number is written on your shipping label. You can access your tracking number if you took the photo before mailing.
What if I don’t have a FedEx tracking number?
Don’t worry too much if you’ve looked at every possible place your tracking number could exist and you still haven’t found it.
Fortunately, it’s still possible (and relatively easy) to track FedEx packages without a tracking number.
For example, you can use the reference or purchase order number associated with your shipment to track your package.
Also, another way to view a package without a tracking number is to enter your door tracking number in the “Tracking ID” field on the FedEx website.
The number should start with the letters “DT” followed by 12 digits. After entering the information, click Track to see where your item is.
Additionally, you can track your shipment by calling 1-800-GOFEDEX (1-800-463-3339).
After calling, provide the customer service representative with as much information as possible about your package, including your name, phone number, and origin and destination addresses.
With this information, a FedEx employee should be able to locate your package and provide you with a tracking number.
Finally, if you have a FedEx Delivery Manager account, you can track your package online without a tracking number.
Once logged into your account, you will be able to monitor your shipments, receive alerts and set delivery preferences.
Can you track FedEx packages by name and address?
In addition to tracking packages using reference numbers, door tracking numbers, or the Delivery Manager tool, you can also use FedEx InSight to track packages.
That is, FedEx InSight is a tool that assembles your shipments by matching them to your business name and address as they move through the FedEx Express and FedEx Ground systems.
This process is called shipment matching.
Additionally, InSight is an excellent tracking option for businesses that need to monitor multiple inbound and outbound shipments simultaneously.
Additionally, it provides automatic notification of shipment status, enabling more efficient inventory tracking and a better customer experience.
