One can easily check the status of the packages they shipped using DHL eCommerce or USPS services.

Understanding DHL eCommerce Shipment Tracking
DHL Shipment Tracking is a service that provides detailed item tracking and is available for most DHL shipping options. For DHL eCommerce users, having the ability to track their packages is extremely vital. When you ship a product using one of DHL eCommerce’s many shipping options, you will get a Shipment ID or a tracking number. Using this tracking number/ID you can check the status of the shipment, which waypoint in the fulfillment process it has reached, as well as the estimated delivery date.
The following table lists various DHL eCommerce services that offer tracking:
| Service Name | Description |
|---|---|
| DHL Global Mail Packet Plus Priority | Picks up your order from the seller’s warehouse, sorts it, and handles it until it reaches your country. |
| DHL SM Parcel Expedited Max | As DHL eCommerce’s premium parcel service, it is the ideal fit for customers looking for a fast and predictable shipping option. |
| DHL Packet Plus International | Economical, low weight shipping plus milestone tracking events. |
| DHL Packet Plus International Standard | International B2C shipping to over 220 countries with delivery confirmation in key destinations. |
| DHL Parcel International Direct | Direct shipping up to 20 kg to high demand markets. |
Typically, DHL eCommerce tracking numbers start with GM, LX, RX, UV, CN, or SG. There is no additional cost incurred in accessing the tracking information as this service is included in the DHL eCommerce shipping rates.
