What is a tracking number – UPS?
UPS is the company that always assigns tracking numbers.
Normally our customers know or have already heard of tracking numbers – mainly what they are and why they are attributed to a parcel.
Here is what you need to know: *A tracking number is a specific number assigned to each parcel just before being shipped. This number works as a unique ID code and allows people to follow and track their package till it reaches its destination.
Every parcel that ever leaves the UPS office anywhere in the world to travel to another country or even part of the world is assigned a tracking number.
With this unique combination of letters and numbers, you can easily find out where the parcel is while in different hubs in various cities and when it will depart to reach the destination.
Giving each parcel its separate number helps to identify it in the best way possible. UPS tracking numbers are meant to help you follow the order through from the departure point to the destination point without any second-guessing and doubts. You enter the Track and Trace section, introduce the special combination you have, and have the information displayed to you. This is what an electronic post-global system helps customers do.
UPS Tracking Number Formats
UPS may not resemble most tracking numbers by major postal companies the countries have.
Even though the tracking number consists of characters that are specific and unique. To track your parcel online, the system will ask you to introduce the tracking number you were given upon the parcel registration.
This number is yours and does not coincide with any other tracking number out there.
A UPS tracking number, for domestic packages within the United States, will usually start with "1Z" followed by a 6-character shipper number (numbers and letters), a 2-digit service level indicator, and finally, 8 digits identifying the package (the last digit being a check digit), for a total of 18 characters.
What does the UPS tracking number look like?
Each package is automatically assigned a UPS tracking number. You or your customer can use this number to track your packages in the system and determine their delivery status and other details.

Track and Trace system by UPS

Similar to other postal companies but most well-known with a trust rating much higher than the rest. UPS will remain the company you will always remember for its professional approach to details.
Alltracking is a reliable source of information storage. But sometimes it has no updates for a particular item for several days.
There can be numerous reasons for the non-trackage of the parcel you need information for on our website. Usually, they have a reason that makes sense to everyone.
First of all, check that the tracking number is typed in correctly. This is the case in some situations – people just do not pay enough attention.
If this is not why the information is missing before any panic starts, customers are advised to consider it being stuck in transit. This means that the status of the package has not moved in a long time and there is no news that the tracking website can share. Give it some time.
After any significant changes take place, the status of the parcel will be updated accordingly. But if you do not see it straight away, do not consider the package lost – it can just be temporarily delayed.
There is a very small chance that this is going to ever happen but still, we have to address this issue.
In case this happens think to contact the representatives of the UPS Customer Service team for further assistance (choose the branch in your country).
The investigation will need to take place and the company will take the responsibility of offering you a solution. UPS must give you answers and inform you of all the details.
The complaints, appraisals, suggestions, and tracking number information requests can all be submitted.
No panic if the package is still missing – either it will be found or you will get a refund. In both cases, you have to wait first and then follow the instructions given by the Customer Service team. Do not hesitate to contact them.
Usually, the complaints the customers have fall into several categories.
1) Tracked packages that did not reach the destination
The situations may differ from one case to another. At times the fault belongs to the company. Sometimes the customer is to blame.
If you printed the wrong address on the shipping label, didn't include a return address, or poorly packaged the item, UPS cannot be held responsible for it. In most of the other cases, UPS will investigate the case and refund you.
2) Damaged tracked parcels
If the item arrives damaged, the first thing you need to do is get in contact with the seller as soon as possible. (this is for those who purchased an item online that was later on sent with UPS). The seller will discuss the issue with the UPS company. In this case, the seller is responsible for the condition of the items when you receive them. If the item is damaged you can enclose pictures, and put it all in writing, ideally in an email that you need to send to the seller. The seller then will investigate what happened and offer you a practical solution.
3) Confiscated tracked items
UPS delivery may still be delayed for reasons beyond its control. There are some restrictions that the customer has to know of. If the package contains products that cannot enter the destination country – the access will be denied.
UPS company strictly adheres to the rules of the Universal Postal Convention, which is the regulator of postal exchange between individual participants.
Particular emphasis in the regulations is placed on the prohibition of the transport of certain items - explosives, counterfeit goods, valuable antiques, things of an immoral nature, etc.
Ground information about UPS
United Parcel Service, Inc., or UPS (NYSE: UPS), is an American Express delivery and logistics company. The company's headquarters is located in Atlanta, Georgia.
UPS first entered the European market in 1976 by shipping packages within Germany. Since then, the company has been providing a wide range of services in Europe.
Branches and locations
Every day, the company delivers more than 16.9 million units of cargo to 9.4 million recipients in more than 220 countries.
The main business of the company is the express delivery of goods and documents, but UPS also has a supply chain management division (UPS Supply Chain Solutions, UPS SCS).
The history of UPS
The creation of the primary courier service took place in 1907-1913. In 1907, Claude Ryan and Jim Casey borrowed $100 and started a business called the American Messenger Company in a basement in Seattle, Washington.
Claude and Jim's company handled tasks ranging from running errands for customers and delivering messages on foot or by bike to delivering purchases from drugstores.
In the period 1930-1975, the expansion and transformation of the company took place. During the 1930s and early 1940s, UPS obtained delivery rights for department stores in Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and Philadelphia.
During World War II, retail stores began cutting back on their delivery services and encouraging customers to carry their packages home on their own.
In 1953, it was decided to expand the range of UPS services. UPS began to ship cargo on a common basis in cities where it was possible without the need to obtain approval from the state and federal trade commissions (ICC).
That same year, Chicago became the first city outside of California where UPS offered a general transportation service.
In 1975, UPS became the first express delivery company to deliver packages to any address in the 48 contiguous states of the United States. This historic association of service areas became known within UPS as the "Golden Link".
Interesting facts about UPS
- The company has 395,000 employees worldwide, including 318,000 in the US and 77,000 in other countries.
- During 1918-1930 there was a transition to the principles of delivery on a common basis. In 1919, the company expanded from Seattle to Oakland, California, and adopted its present name, United Parcel Service. In the same year, Charlie Soderstrom came up with the idea of using brown to paint the company's cars, which, in his opinion, would give them a stately look.
