Quick Answer
To track a Lowe's order, sign in to your Lowe's account or use the order-status link in the confirmation or shipping email, then open the order details and look for shipment, delivery, pickup or carrier tracking information.
If Lowe's shows a carrier tracking number, you can paste that number into 17TRACK to check supported carrier events. If you only have a Lowe's order number, receipt number, payment reference or invoice number, first use Lowe's order tools or customer service to locate the carrier tracking number.
Pro Tip: 17TRACK can help track available carrier tracking numbers and may auto-detect the carrier, but it cannot view private Lowe's order details, change an address, cancel an order, request a refund or contact a Lowe's Marketplace seller for you.
How to Track Lowe's Orders
The most reliable path is Lowe's order details first, then the carrier or 17TRACK after a carrier tracking number is available. Check whether the order was shipped, scheduled for delivery, prepared for store pickup or split into multiple shipments.

Order Numbers, Tracking Numbers and Where to Find Them
A Lowe's order number identifies the purchase inside Lowe's systems. A carrier tracking number identifies a shipment moving through a carrier network. 17TRACK needs the carrier tracking number when carrier tracking is available.

FAQ
Basic FAQs
1. How do I track my Lowe's order?Sign in to your Lowe's account, open My Orders or the order-status link, select the order and check each shipment or pickup status. If a carrier tracking number is shown, you can also track it on the carrier website or with 17TRACK.
2. Where do I find my Lowe's tracking number?Look in your Lowe's shipping email, order details, app notification or carrier link. If the order is still processing, pickup-only or scheduled delivery, a parcel tracking number may not be available.
3. Can I track a Lowe's order with only the order number?You can use the Lowe's order number inside Lowe's order tools or customer service, but 17TRACK and carrier websites usually need the carrier tracking number. First locate the shipment tracking number in Lowe's messages or order details.
4. What should I do if my Lowe's order has no tracking number?Check whether the order is still being prepared, is for store pickup, is scheduled delivery or is handled by a Lowe's Marketplace seller. Use Lowe's order details or help channels if the order does not progress as expected.
5. Why is my Lowe's tracking number not updating?The carrier may not have accepted or scanned the package yet, or the number may have been copied incorrectly. Verify the full number, carrier and latest Lowe's order status before escalating.
6. How long does Lowe's delivery take?Use the estimate shown at checkout, in your Lowe's order details or in the shipping/delivery message. Timing varies by item, inventory, address, seller, carrier, pickup option and scheduled delivery availability.
7. What if my Lowe's package says delivered but I did not receive it?Check your porch, garage, mailbox area, building office, household members, neighbors, delivery photo and proof of delivery first. If the package is still missing, contact the carrier for delivery proof and Lowe's or the seller for official order-resolution options.
8. Can 17TRACK track my Lowe's return?17TRACK can track a Lowe's return only when you have a supported carrier return tracking number. It cannot determine whether Lowe's or a seller has approved the refund.
9. How do I check my Lowe's refund status?Check Lowe's return or order details and any refund messages from Lowe's. Return package delivery is only one step; refund posting also depends on return processing, seller handling when applicable and your payment channel.
10. How do I contact Lowe's about an order?Use Lowe's official order details, Help Center, returns route, store contact or customer-service options shown on lowes.com. Prepare your order number, tracking number, account email or phone, shipping address, latest event and photos if relevant.
Expert FAQs
11. Does Lowe's have third-party sellers?Yes, Lowe's Marketplace can involve third-party sellers for certain items. Lowe's may show the order and support route, while the seller may control shipment preparation, tracking submission and seller-specific return handling.
12. Why did part of my Lowe's order arrive but another item is missing?Lowe's orders can split into multiple shipments or fulfillment methods. Match each item in the order details to its own tracking number, pickup status or scheduled delivery before reporting a missing item.
13. Who delivers Lowe's packages?The carrier or delivery network varies by order, region, seller, item type and delivery option. Use the carrier name shown in your Lowe's shipment details instead of assuming a universal Lowe's carrier.
14. Is a Lowe's scheduled delivery number the same as a carrier tracking number?Not necessarily. Scheduled delivery, appliance delivery or service appointments may use Lowe's or partner appointment information rather than a parcel carrier number that 17TRACK can track.
15. Can a gift recipient track a Lowe's order?A gift recipient can track a package if the purchaser shares the carrier tracking number or an official Lowe's tracking link. The recipient may not have permission to change the order, address or refund tied to the purchaser's account and payment method.
16. What happens if a Lowe's Marketplace seller gives the wrong tracking number?Verify the number with the carrier and 17TRACK, then use Lowe's official order support route if it remains invalid. Keep screenshots, seller name, order number and the latest carrier response as evidence.
17. Can 17TRACK contact Lowe's, a Lowe's Marketplace seller or the carrier for me?No. 17TRACK displays available carrier tracking events for supported tracking numbers, but it cannot contact Lowe's, sellers or carriers, and it cannot change orders, addresses, returns or refunds.
18. Is there a Lowe's official public order tracking API I can use?A public official Lowe's consumer order-tracking API is not confirmed here. For tracking automation, use carrier tracking numbers with a tracking API such as 17TRACK, and use only authorized Lowe's partner channels for seller or supplier data.
Tracking API
The 17TRACK API example below registers a carrier tracking number for tracking. It does not use a Lowe's order number, payment number, invoice number, receipt number or internal delivery appointment ID. If you only have a Lowe's order number, first open Lowe's order details or official emails to find the carrier tracking number when one exists.
