Understanding EasyPost Tracking
EasyPost tracking allows senders and recipients to monitor shipments created through the EasyPost shipping API, which connects businesses to multiple postal and courier carriers worldwide.
EasyPost itself is not a carrier; it provides tracking visibility by aggregating shipment data directly from the underlying carrier handling the delivery.
How EasyPost Tracking Works
EasyPost tracking updates are generated when the carrier scans a shipment at key stages such as label creation, pickup, transit, customs processing, and final delivery.
Tracking frequency depends entirely on the carrier selected (for example USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, or regional couriers).
How to Track an EasyPost Shipment
To track an EasyPost shipment, use the tracking number provided by the seller or shipper.
The tracking number format varies based on the carrier chosen at the time the shipping label was created.
Using EasyPost Tracking with Shippity
Shippity helps organize EasyPost-generated tracking information alongside shipments from other carriers in a single dashboard.
This allows users to follow deliveries created via EasyPost without identifying which underlying carrier is handling each shipment.
Common EasyPost Tracking Statuses
Common statuses include label created, shipment received by carrier, in transit, out for delivery, delivered, and exception.
Customs-related statuses may appear for international shipments depending on destination requirements.
Common Issues with EasyPost Tracking
Tracking may not update immediately after label creation until the carrier physically receives the shipment.
Delays or missing updates are usually caused by carrier scan gaps rather than EasyPost itself.
Important Notes About EasyPost Tracking
EasyPost tracking reflects carrier-reported scan events and does not control delivery speed, customs timelines, or routing decisions.
For delivery issues, address changes, or claims, contact the shipper or the carrier handling the final delivery.
