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.
