About Zalando
Zalando is an online fashion retail platform. Orders are managed through the Zalando shopping account and order communications. The official website supplied for this guide is https://www.zalando.de.
Brand Entity & Order Ownership
| Entity or order party | Role and tracking boundary |
|---|---|
| Zalando | Displays the order record and available shipment information through its shopping service; it does not control carrier scans after handover. |
| Buyer account | Provides access to order details and messages; it does not replace a carrier tracking number. |
| Fulfillment party | Prepares and hands over the parcel where applicable; its handover can precede the first carrier scan. |
| Carrier | Creates transport events and delivery scans for the shipment identifier it accepts. |
| 17TRACK | Can display available carrier events for a usable tracking number; it cannot modify a Zalando order or decide a refund. |
Quick Answer
To track a Zalando order, sign in to the Zalando account used for the purchase and open the relevant order. Use the shipment or tracking link shown there, or copy the carrier tracking number into the carrier website or 17TRACK.
The order number identifies the purchase in Zalando; it is not necessarily usable on a carrier website or 17TRACK. If no tracking number is visible, check the order email and shipment details first, then contact Zalando through the order or help channel.
How to Track Zalando Orders
Start with Zalando because it connects the order with its shipment. After a carrier tracking number becomes available, a carrier website or 17TRACK can provide transport events.

For a guest, gift recipient, or person who did not place the order, the practical route is the order link or shipment information supplied by the purchaser. Do not guess a tracking number from an order reference.
Order Numbers, Tracking Numbers and Where to Find Them
Use the identifier according to the system that issued it. A Zalando order number locates the purchase in Zalando; a carrier tracking number locates a parcel in the transport network.

Fulfillment, Sellers and Carriers
The carrier and shipment path can vary by order, destination, item, warehouse, delivery option, and any partner-seller arrangement shown in the order. Check the individual shipment rather than assuming one carrier for every Zalando order.
Fulfillment & Carrier Relationship
| Fulfillment model | Who ships it |
|---|---|
| Zalando-processed order | The fulfillment party shown through the Zalando order process prepares the parcel and provides shipment data when available. |
| Partner or seller order | The seller or fulfillment arrangement identified in the order may control dispatch details, while the carrier controls transport scans. |
| Multiple shipments | Different parcels may have separate tracking numbers and separate delivery events. |
| Carrier handover | The carrier updates events after acceptance; a dispatch notice may appear before the first scan. |
Tracking Statuses and Meanings
Status Quick Lookup
| Status shown | Lifecycle meaning |
|---|---|
| Processing or preparing | The order is being prepared; it is not necessarily with a carrier. |
| Shipped | Shipment information or dispatch has been recorded; check for a first carrier scan. |
| In transit | The carrier has recorded movement between transport points. |
| Out for delivery | The carrier indicates a delivery attempt is planned for the current route. |
| Delivered | A delivery event was recorded; check the event details if the parcel is not located. |
| Exception or delayed | A transport or address issue requires review of the latest event. |
| Return in transit | The return parcel is moving; refund review is a separate process. |
Delivery Time and Delay Factors
Use the delivery estimate shown for the specific Zalando order as the primary reference. A general page cannot replace the destination- and order-specific estimate.
Delivery Time & Delay Factors
| Scenario | What can affect delivery |
|---|---|
| Standard shipment | Destination, selected delivery option, warehouse preparation, and carrier capacity. |
| Split shipment | Each parcel can leave separately and receive its own estimate and tracking history. |
| Cross-border movement | Border processing, handover between networks, and local delivery capacity can change event timing. |
| Peak period or disruption | High parcel volume, weather, operational disruption, or address problems can delay scans or delivery. |
Common Problems and Next Steps
Problem & Next Step
| Problem shown | Check first |
|---|---|
| No tracking number | Open the shipment details and dispatch message; the parcel may not yet have a usable carrier number. |
| Tracking number not working | Copy the number exactly, confirm the correct shipment, and try the carrier identified by Zalando. |
| Shipped but no scans | Allow for the gap between dispatch information and carrier acceptance, then use the order support route if it remains unresolved. |
| Parcel appears stuck | Review the latest event, location, and event date before escalating to the carrier or Zalando. |
| Delivered but not received | Check the delivery location, household members, reception area, neighbors, photo, and proof of delivery before contacting Zalando. |
| Address problem or failed attempt | Follow the carrier event instructions and contact the carrier or Zalando through the order route; do not assume an address change is possible. |
| Missing item from split shipment | Compare every shipment in the order and track each parcel separately. |
| Return not updating | Keep the drop-off receipt, check the return tracking number, and contact Zalando if the return case needs review. |
| Refund pending | Check the return or refund case in Zalando; logistics tracking alone cannot show whether a refund was approved. |
Returns, Exchanges and Refunds
A return tracking number follows the parcel back to the return destination. Refund status belongs to the Zalando order or payment process and must be checked there.
Returns & Refunds
| Scenario | Where to start |
|---|---|
| Return request | Use the relevant Zalando order and follow the available return instructions. |
| Return parcel tracking | Use the return label or drop-off receipt number with the named carrier or 17TRACK. |
| Refund status | Check the Zalando order or payment information; a delivery scan for the return is not a refund decision. |
| Gift or third-party purchase | The purchaser or account holder may need to initiate or authorize the order action. |
Customer Service and Escalation
Use the order-specific help route first because it gives Zalando the purchase context. Contact the carrier for transport events and delivery attempts, but contact Zalando for order, return, refund, or seller-related decisions.
Customer Service
| Channel | Best for |
|---|---|
| Zalando order or help area | Order status, missing items, delivery disputes, returns, and refunds. |
| Carrier tracking and support | Delivery attempts, address instructions, proof of delivery, and transport events. |
| 17TRACK | Identifying a carrier and viewing available shipment events when a usable tracking number exists. |
Prepare the order number, shipment tracking number, account email, latest event, delivery address, photographs, return receipt, label, and any case reference that applies. Do not send payment credentials or unnecessary personal information to an unrelated tracking service.
Marketplace Responsibility
When an order identifies a partner seller or another fulfillment party, responsibility depends on the issue. Use the order record to identify the relevant party rather than assuming every shipment is handled identically.
| Issue | First action |
|---|---|
| Seller has not shipped | Review the order status and use the Zalando order support route or seller communication shown there. |
| Wrong or missing tracking | Ask the party shown in the order to correct the shipment information; the carrier cannot correct a seller's reference. |
| Item not received | Review carrier proof and delivery details, then escalate through the order route. |
| Item not as described or return dispute | Use the Zalando return or support process and retain photographs, messages, and shipment evidence. |
