About Asendia
Asendia is an international ecommerce, packet, parcel, mail and returns logistics provider created by La Poste and Swiss Post. In tracking, Asendia often acts as the cross-border consolidator, export or line-haul operator, postal-injection partner, returns operator, or shipment visibility platform; final delivery may be performed by a destination postal operator or another local delivery partner.
Asendia Core Profile
| Field | Verified information |
| Official name | Asendia, operating internationally through Asendia group companies. |
| Official website | https://www.asendia.com/ |
| Carrier type | Cross-border ecommerce and mail logistics provider using Asendia operations plus postal and commercial delivery partners. |
| Primary region | International cross-border shipping, with Asendia country operations and destination-country delivery partners. |
| Tracking page | https://tracking.asendia.com/ |
| Parent organization | A joint venture of La Poste and Swiss Post. |
| Founded | Not publicly confirmed on the current sources used for this page as a universal legal founding date for every Asendia operating entity. |
| Headquarters | Not stated here as a single universal headquarters because Asendia operates through multiple national companies and official country pages. |
Do not confuse Asendia with the final-mile carrier shown later in the tracking history. A package can show Asendia events before export and then show destination-post or local courier events after handoff. That means Asendia can be the visibility source without being the organization currently holding the package.

Quick Answer
To track Asendia packages, enter the tracking number from the merchant, shipping label, return label, or dispatch email on Asendia Tracking or use 17TRACK to view available Asendia and partner-carrier events in one place. If no result appears, first remove spaces and hyphens, confirm the number is not an order ID, and allow time for the first physical acceptance scan after the merchant creates the label.
Pro Tip: 17TRACK is an independent tracking platform. 17TRACK can help identify and display tracking events, but Asendia, the merchant, or the destination delivery partner must handle address changes, delivery instructions, customs documents, claims, refunds, or replacement orders.
How to Track Asendia Packages
Use the Asendia tracking page when the merchant names Asendia as the carrier, and use 17TRACK when you want one page to check Asendia plus possible postal or courier handoff events.
Tracking Paths
| Path | Best use |
| Asendia official tracking | Use when the merchant provided an Asendia shipment number or return number. |
View all details for Asendia official tracking| Steps | Open the Asendia tracking page, paste the tracking number exactly as received, remove extra punctuation if needed, and compare the latest event with the merchant’s dispatch date. |
|---|
| When results may be limited | Visibility can be limited before physical handoff, during export consolidation, during customs, or after a final-mile partner takes over. |
|---|
|
| 17TRACK tracking | Use when the shipment may involve Asendia and another carrier, or when automatic carrier recognition is useful. |
View all details for 17TRACK tracking| Steps | Paste the tracking number into 17TRACK, review detected carriers, manually select Asendia if recognition is ambiguous, and check whether a destination carrier also has events. |
|---|
| When results may be limited | 17TRACK can only display events that carriers or data partners make available; it cannot create missing scans or override carrier systems. |
|---|
|
| Merchant order page | Use when you only have an order number, store reference, or marketplace shipment ID. |
View all details for merchant order tracking| Steps | Open the store account, find the order shipment section, copy the carrier tracking number rather than the order number, and ask the merchant if no carrier number is visible. |
|---|
| When results may be limited | A merchant may mark an order shipped when the label is created, before Asendia or a pickup partner physically receives the parcel. |
|---|
|
A tracking number is different from an order number, customer reference, invoice number, return authorization, or delivery notice. If the number is rejected, ask the merchant for the carrier tracking number and the carrier name shown on the shipping label.
Tracking Statuses and Meanings
Asendia statuses describe a cross-border lifecycle: electronic data, physical acceptance, export handling, international transit, destination handoff, delivery attempt, delivered, exception, pickup, or return. The current responsible party changes as the shipment moves from merchant to Asendia to customs or a delivery partner.

Delivery Management and Post-shipment Options

Asendia does not provide one universal consumer portal for every address change, redelivery, hold, pickup, or signature option across all countries.

Ecommerce and Business Tracking
Businesses should separate three needs: consumer-facing order tracking, Asendia contract shipment visibility, and multi-carrier exception monitoring. 17TRACK is useful when merchants ship with Asendia plus multiple postal and courier partners and need normalized shipment events across carriers.

FAQ
1. How do I track my Asendia package?Enter the tracking number on the official Asendia tracking page or use 17TRACK to view available Asendia and partner-carrier events.
2. Where can I find my Asendia tracking number?Look in the merchant dispatch email, marketplace order page, shipping label, return label, or drop-off receipt; an order number is not always a carrier tracking number.
3. What does an Asendia tracking number look like?Asendia numbers vary by country, product and partner, and some shipments use postal S10 numbers such as two letters, nine digits and a two-letter country code.
4. When will the first Asendia tracking event appear?The first meaningful event usually appears after the parcel is physically accepted or processed, not necessarily when the merchant creates the label.
5. Why is my Asendia tracking not updating?Asendia tracking can pause during merchant handoff, export consolidation, international transport, customs, or destination-carrier handoff; check 17TRACK for possible partner events.
6. How long does Asendia delivery take?Asendia delivery time varies by origin, destination, service, customs and partner delivery; use the merchant’s promised window and the latest carrier event rather than assuming a universal timeframe.
7. What should I do after an Asendia delivery attempt failed?Use the destination carrier’s notice, tracking page or pickup instructions because the final-mile carrier usually controls redelivery and pickup after the attempt.
8. What if Asendia tracking says delivered but I did not receive it?Check mailbox, locker, reception, neighbors and household members first, then ask the destination carrier for proof of delivery and contact the merchant for an order case.
9. How do I report a lost or damaged Asendia package?Keep packaging and photos, then contact the merchant because the merchant or shipper normally files formal claims under the Asendia shipping contract.
10. How do I contact Asendia customer service?Use Asendia tracking and the Asendia contact page for carrier questions, but contact the merchant for refunds, replacements and order-specific remedies.
11. Does Asendia deliver the package to my door?Asendia may not deliver the final mile itself; many international Asendia shipments are handed to a destination postal operator or courier for door delivery, pickup or local exception handling.
12. Can the Asendia tracking number change after customs?Yes, a destination carrier can assign a local delivery ID after import or handoff, while Asendia and 17TRACK may still show the original linked number.
13. What does customs clearance mean for an Asendia shipment?Customs clearance means the shipment is undergoing import review or release processing, and arrival in the destination country does not automatically mean customs has released the parcel.
14. Why does Asendia show less detail than the local postal carrier?After handoff, the destination postal operator or courier may hold more detailed domestic delivery data, so checking the local carrier can show pickup, attempt or proof-of-delivery information.
15. Can businesses track Asendia shipments through an API?Businesses may have Asendia contract integrations, but a universal public Asendia tracking API is not confirmed here; 17TRACK provides a documented multi-carrier API for registering tracking numbers.
16. Does 17TRACK work for Asendia and final-mile handoffs?17TRACK can display available Asendia and partner-carrier events when data is available, but 17TRACK cannot force a carrier scan, change delivery instructions or approve claims.
