| Who should I contact? | Contact Indigo for order, payment, return and refund issues; contact the carrier for delivery-scan issues after handoff. |

Returns, Exchanges and Refunds
Return tracking and refund status are different. A return tracking number can show the package moving back, while refund status depends on Indigo’s return receipt, inspection and payment processing rules for the order.

Business, Seller or Developer API
Current public official Indigo order tracking API documentation for external sellers or developers is not confirmed. Do not build an integration by guessing Indigo account endpoints. For shipment visibility, merchants can use 17TRACK API with carrier tracking numbers.

FAQ
Basic FAQs
Sign in to your Indigo account, open order history, select the order, and use the shipment tracking link if one is available. If the page shows a carrier tracking number, you can also track that number on 17TRACK.
Your Indigo tracking number is usually in the shipping confirmation email or shipment details, not necessarily in the first order confirmation. If the order is still processing, pickup-only or not a physical shipment, a tracking number may not exist yet.
An Indigo order number is mainly for Indigo account and customer service lookup. 17TRACK and carrier websites normally need a carrier tracking number.
Check whether the carrier has accepted the package yet and verify the tracking number from the Indigo email. A label can be created before the carrier’s first scan appears.
The number may be an Indigo order number, a return case reference, a copied typo or a label that has not been scanned by the carrier. Try the carrier link from Indigo and then re-enter the exact carrier tracking number.
Use the delivery estimate shown at checkout, in your Indigo order page or on the carrier page. Timing varies by item availability, region, fulfillment path, delivery option and carrier conditions.
First check all delivery locations, household members, building staff, neighbours and carrier proof of delivery. If the package is still missing, contact the carrier for scan evidence and Indigo for order-level help.
Use the tracking number on the return label or carrier drop-off receipt. 17TRACK can help follow the return parcel if the number is a supported carrier tracking number.
No. Return tracking shows parcel movement, while refund approval depends on Indigo’s return receipt, eligibility review and payment processing.
Use the official Indigo Help Centre or your Indigo order details page. Prepare the order number, tracking number, account email, shipping address, latest tracking event and photos if the item is damaged.
Expert FAQs
Yes, an Indigo order can be split when items ship separately or are fulfilled from different locations. Check item-level shipment details because one delivered package may not complete the entire order.
The delivery carrier can vary by order, region, item type and delivery option. Use the carrier name shown in the Indigo shipment email or order page instead of assuming a fixed carrier.
Indigo order status describes the purchase and fulfillment process, while carrier status describes parcel movement after shipment creation and acceptance. 17TRACK shows carrier events, not private Indigo payment or preparation statuses.
A gift recipient can track the package if the purchaser shares the carrier tracking number or tracking link. Indigo may limit access to private order details unless the recipient has sufficient proof or gift-return information.
Pickup-ready means Indigo expects you to collect the order at the selected store according to the pickup instructions. 17TRACK is not useful unless a parcel carrier tracking number was issued.
Current public official Indigo order tracking API documentation is not confirmed. Developers should not guess private account endpoints; use 17TRACK API only with carrier tracking numbers when shipment tracking is needed.
