Tracking

You, therefore, can track the status of your cargo through the company’s online portals or via the website.

For you to track your cargo, you also need a tracking ID or number. The tracking ID is a combination of letters and/or numbers that identifies each shipment. When you send the items, the online shop or merchant should provide you with the tracking ID. If you are purchasing an item from an online shop, the shipment notification that is sent to your email contains the tracking ID.

Usually, your tracking events become visible within one or two days after you receive a confirmation from your online shop or merchant. Sometimes, the shipment status appears to stagnate. This does not mean that the shipment process has stalled. The goods continue to travel to the destination, but this information may take time to reflect on the tracking system.

There are unique cases where the tracking status may not change, and the parcel or goods are delayed. Such cases are beyond the control of the company. They include weather events or local disruptions such as public holidays or strikes. All customers are advised to contact the merchant or online shop if the cargo does not arrive within ten days post the anticipated delivery time.

In case your tracking number fails to work, you should contact the company. The staff members will assist you accordingly. Customers can also track more than one tracking ID via a single request.
