Quick Answer
To track a STAPLE order, open your STAPLE order confirmation email or sign in through the account area on staplepigeon.com/account, then look for the shipment, order status or tracking link. If a carrier tracking number is shown, you can track it on the carrier website or with 17TRACK.
If there is no tracking number yet, the order may still be processing, the label may not have been created, or the shipment email may not have been sent. Use STAPLE support for private order questions and the carrier for delivery-scan or delivery-attempt questions after carrier tracking is active.
Pro Tip: 17TRACK can help track a usable carrier tracking number and may auto-detect the carrier, but it cannot view your private STAPLE order, modify delivery details, issue a refund, start a return or contact STAPLE for you.
How to Track STAPLE Orders
Use the official STAPLE account or order email first because those sources connect the purchase to the shipment. Then use the carrier tracking number on the carrier website or 17TRACK when carrier tracking is available.

Order Numbers, Tracking Numbers and Where to Find Them
A STAPLE order number identifies the purchase inside the store system. A carrier tracking number identifies a parcel inside a carrier network. 17TRACK generally needs the carrier tracking number.

Seller, Marketplace and Buyer Responsibility

FAQ
1. How do I track my STAPLE order?Sign in to your STAPLE account or open the shipping confirmation email, then use the carrier tracking number on the carrier site or 17TRACK when carrier tracking is available.
2. Where is my STAPLE tracking number?Your STAPLE tracking number is usually in the shipping confirmation email or the order details page after the order has shipped. If only an order number is shown, the parcel may not yet have a carrier tracking number.
3. Can I track STAPLE with an order number?Usually no on 17TRACK; an order number identifies the purchase in STAPLE systems, while 17TRACK needs a carrier tracking number. Use the STAPLE account or email to find the shipment number first.
4. What should I do if my STAPLE order has no tracking number?Check your order email, spam folder and STAPLE account before contacting support. If the order has not shipped or no label was created, 17TRACK cannot generate a tracking number.
5. Why is my STAPLE tracking number not updating?Tracking may not update until the carrier accepts or scans the parcel. If the latest event is old or shows an exception, check the carrier page and contact the carrier or STAPLE depending on whether carrier acceptance has occurred.
6. How long does STAPLE delivery take?STAPLE delivery timing depends on checkout estimates, fulfillment readiness, destination and carrier service. Use the official shipping policy, order email and carrier estimate for your specific order rather than assuming a fixed number of days.
7. What if my STAPLE package says delivered but I did not receive it?First check all delivery locations, household members, front desk, parcel lockers, neighbors and proof of delivery. Then contact the carrier for delivery evidence and STAPLE support for order-resolution options.
8. Can 17TRACK track my STAPLE return?Yes, if you have a carrier return tracking number supported by 17TRACK. 17TRACK can show return parcel movement but cannot confirm whether STAPLE has approved a refund.
9. How do I check my STAPLE refund status?Check STAPLE return communications and contact STAPLE support with your order number and return tracking. Refund status depends on return delivery, review, approval and payment-channel posting.
10. How do I contact STAPLE about an order?Use the official STAPLE contact page or account order route and prepare your order number, buyer email, tracking number, latest carrier event and photos if the item is missing, wrong or damaged.
11. Does STAPLE use the same carrier for every order?No single carrier should be assumed for every STAPLE order because carrier choice can vary by order, destination, item type and shipping option. Use the carrier shown in your shipping confirmation.
12. Can one STAPLE order have multiple tracking numbers?Yes, one order can be split into multiple shipments when items are fulfilled separately. Track each carrier number separately and compare the shipment contents before reporting a missing item.
13. Who helps if I bought a STAPLE item from another marketplace?The marketplace or retailer where you paid should be your first support channel. STAPLE direct support may not have access to third-party seller order records, tracking IDs or refund cases.
14. Is a STAPLE shipment email proof that the carrier has the package?Not always; a shipment email may mean a label has been created before the first carrier acceptance scan. Carrier custody is better supported by an origin, acceptance or movement scan.
15. What happens if my STAPLE return tracking shows delivered?Return delivery means the carrier reports delivery to the return destination, but refund approval may still require receiving, inspection and processing by STAPLE. Keep the tracking proof and drop-off receipt.
16. Does STAPLE have a public developer API for order tracking?A current public official STAPLE order tracking API was not confirmed from the official site. For tracking automation, use carrier tracking numbers with an external tracking API such as 17TRACK where appropriate.
