What is a tracking number?

A tracking number is a unique number assigned to each shipment to identify it. Like a passport, it plays a crucial role in determining where a package is going and where it currently is. Additionally, the correct tracking number is required for warehouse storage and for customers to proceed with shipping procedures.

Characteristics of tracking numbers for different delivery companies

Since each delivery company has its own system for managing shipments, the format of tracking numbers varies.

• Japan Post: Typically consists of an 11-digit number or a 13-digit combination of numbers and letters starting with "AA".
• Amazon: You can find the tracking ID starting with "DA" or "99" in your order history.
• Yamato Transport: Typically consists of a 12-digit number.
• Sagawa Express: Typically consists of a 10-digit or 12-digit number.
