Aramex Tracking Number Format

Aramex utilizes several tracking number formats, often referred to as Air Waybill (AWB) numbers, depending on the service and region. Common formats include:

• 10-12 Digit Numeric: Many Aramex shipments use a standard numeric format consisting of 10 to 12 digits (e.g., 1234567890, 987654321012).
• Variable Length Numeric: Tracking numbers can also range from 9, 10, 11, 12, or even 20 digits.
• Alphanumeric with Prefix: Some formats may include a letter prefix followed by digits, such as "DBP" followed by 10 digits (e.g., DBP1123456789).
• Region-Specific Formats: For example, Aramex Australia tracking numbers typically comprise 12 digits starting with the letters "AN" (e.g., AN1004209208).

You can usually find your tracking number on the shipping receipt, in an email or SMS notification from Aramex, on the shipping label, or within your order details on the merchant's website.

Delivery Network & Partners

Aramex operates an extensive global network, providing its own door-to-door delivery services across numerous countries. However, to enhance its reach and optimize delivery, Aramex also collaborates with various partner carriers and last-mile delivery services, particularly in specific regions. For instance, in Australia, Fastway Couriers was acquired by Aramex and subsequently rebranded, integrating its local network into Aramex's operations. Aramex also forms strategic alliances for hybrid shipping solutions, such as partnerships that might involve a local postal service like USPS handling the initial leg of a shipment before it transitions to Aramex for international or final-mile delivery. The involvement of different carriers can influence tracking speed and visibility. While Aramex's in-house network provides seamless tracking, handovers to partner carriers might sometimes result in a brief delay in status updates or a change in the tracking number if the partner uses a different system. Packy aims to consolidate these updates for a unified tracking experience.

Order Delivery Statuses

Aramex uses specific status messages to keep you informed about your shipment's progress. Understanding these real-time updates can help you anticipate delivery and address any potential issues.

• Shipment Created / Booked: This status indicates that the sender has generated an official Aramex tracking number, and the order has been booked. The parcel, however, has not yet been physically handed over to Aramex for transport.
• Shipment Accepted / Picked Up: Aramex has successfully collected the shipment from the sender. This means your parcel is now in Aramex's possession and has begun its journey.
• Arrived at Aramex Facility / In Transit: Your parcel has arrived at an Aramex facility and is fully registered within their system. "In Transit" means the shipment is actively moving between Aramex hubs, has left a sorting center, or is en route to the next processing location.
• Arrived at Destination Country/City: The parcel has reached the Aramex facility in the destination country or city. It is now closer to its final delivery point.
• Out for Delivery: This crucial status means your package is with a courier and is on its way to your delivery address for imminent delivery. You should expect delivery very soon.
• Delivered: The package has been successfully delivered to the recipient at the specified address.
• Exception / Held / Delay:This status indicates that an issue has occurred, potentially causing a delay or preventing immediate delivery. Reasons can include:
  • Customs Clearance: For international shipments, the package is being processed by customs authorities, and additional documentation or duties might be required.
  • Delivery Not Completed: The courier attempted delivery, but it was unsuccessful (e.g., recipient not available, unsafe to leave).
  • Address Issues: The delivery address might be incomplete or incorrect.
  • Held at Aramex Office / Ready for Pickup: The parcel is available for pickup at an Aramex office or a designated Pick and Drop Point.
  • Returning to Sender: The parcel is being sent back to the original sender due to various reasons, such as undeliverable address or being unclaimed.
  If your shipment shows an "Exception" status for an extended period, or if you're concerned about a delay, it's advisable to check the tracking details for specific reasons or contact Aramex customer service.

Common Issues & FAQs

Why is my Aramex tracking number not working?

There could be a few reasons. First, ensure you have entered the tracking number correctly, as even a small typo can prevent it from being recognized. Second, it might take some time for the tracking information to appear in the system after the sender creates the label and Aramex physically collects the parcel. If the issue persists, contact the sender to confirm the correct tracking number.

How long does Aramex delivery take?

Delivery times vary based on the service type, origin, and destination. For domestic door-to-door shipments, delivery typically takes 2-3 days. International shipments generally range from 4 to 10 days, influenced by factors like customs clearance, distance, and local logistics infrastructure. Always refer to your specific tracking details for the most accurate estimated delivery date.

What if my Aramex order says delivered but I didn't receive it?

If your tracking shows "Delivered" but you haven't received your package, first check with household members, neighbors, or your building's reception/mailroom. If the package is still missing, contact Aramex customer service immediately. They can initiate an investigation and guide you through the process of filing a claim if the parcel is confirmed lost.

What if my Aramex package is delayed or held in customs?

Customs clearance is a common reason for delays in international shipments. The tracking details often provide information on the cause of the delay and any recommended actions. Aramex will typically contact you directly if additional information or documentation is required to clear your package through customs. Monitor your tracking updates and be prepared to provide any requested details promptly.

What happens if I miss the delivery?

If an Aramex delivery attempt is unsuccessful because you were unavailable, the package will usually be returned to an Aramex warehouse or facility. You can then typically reschedule the delivery through the Aramex website or app, or by contacting their customer service team.
