Tracking sucks.
Here's what it's hiding.

Carriers write tracking statuses for their sort floors, not for you. This site translates every cryptic phrase — what it means, why your package is stuck on it, and the move that actually helps.

The three laws of package tracking

  • "Label created" is not shipping. Nothing is real until the first physical scan — and the gap can swallow a package for days.
  • One quiet status is normal. A quiet week is not. Days between scans happen; 5+ days static deserves a trace, and screenshots make cases.
  • Senders have powers receivers don't. Claims, refunds, and escalations run through the shipper of record. Recipients get sympathy; senders get action.
