About Chit Chats
Chit Chats is a Canadian low-cost shipping solution that accepts shipments from senders, processes them, and hands packages to partner carriers for delivery in Canada, to the United States, and internationally. Chit Chats is therefore the shipment platform and processing intermediary; the partner carrier supplies carrier tracking for eligible services after handoff.

Carrier Entity Relationships
| Entity | Entity type |
|---|---|
| Chit Chats | Chit Chats assigns a unique shipment ID and provides shipment-history events through its tracking page. |
| Partner carriers | Partner carriers receive shipments after Chit Chats transfers them and provide carrier tracking for eligible services. |
| USPS | USPS is an example of a Chit Chats partner carrier; USPS events may appear beside Chit Chats events. |
| 17TRACK | 17TRACK independently aggregates available events and does not transport or service the parcel. |
Quick Answer
Enter the 10-character Chit Chats shipment ID, such as the deliberately masked pattern AB1234C5D6, on the official Chit Chats tracking page or in 17TRACK. If no result appears, first check that you entered the shipment ID rather than an order number, confirm the label was actually handed to Chit Chats, and check the partner-carrier number in the shipment details. 17TRACK is independent and cannot change an address, issue a refund, or approve a claim.
How to Track Chit Chats Packages
| Path | Steps |
|---|---|
| Chit Chats | Open the Chit Chats tracking page, enter one shipment ID per line, and review the tracking history. Clients can also open a shipment in the account and select Tracking History. |
| Partner carrier | Open the shipment details in the Chit Chats account, identify the partner carrier and carrier tracking number, then use that carrier’s official tracker. |
| 17TRACK | Enter the shipment ID or a confirmed partner-carrier number. Automatic recognition may differ because some Chit Chats services have full tracking and others have partial tracking. |
The shipment ID appears beneath the Chit Chats logo on a Chit Chats label, to the right of the “Chit Chats” title on another carrier label, and in the Chit Chats account. An order number, merchant reference, postage label number, and carrier tracking number are different identifiers. A label-created event means postage was purchased; it does not prove that Chit Chats received the parcel.
Tracking Number Formats and Examples
The Chit Chats shipment ID is a combination of 10 letters and numbers. A partner-carrier tracking number is supplied by the partner carrier and may follow a different format. Chit Chats can display both identifiers, so a number being searchable in Chit Chats does not mean Chit Chats issued that number.
Tracking Number Format
| Identifier family | Normalized pattern |
|---|---|
| Chit Chats shipment ID | AB1234C5D6 |
| Partner-carrier number | Carrier-specific; use the number shown in shipment details. |
| Order or reference ID | Merchant-defined and not necessarily trackable. |
Do not infer a service solely from a partner number’s prefix. For international shipments, the origin or destination carrier may continue using its own number after handoff. For a number that is rejected, remove accidental spaces or punctuation, verify every character, and ask the seller or Chit Chats client for the shipment ID and partner-carrier number.
Tracking Statuses and Meanings
Status Quick Lookup
| Status | Meaning and next action |
|---|---|
| Shipment Created | Postage was purchased, but the sender or seller may still hold the parcel. The sender should hand it to Chit Chats. |
| Received by Chit Chats | Chit Chats received the shipment for processing. It may move between Chit Chats facilities next. |
| In Transit / Transferred to Carrier | Chit Chats handed the shipment to a partner carrier. The partner carrier becomes responsible for subsequent carrier scans. |
| Delivered | A partner tracking update confirms delivery. Only fully tracked services receive a delivery confirmation. |
| Exception | A delivery issue or delay occurred, such as an attempted delivery, insufficient address, weather, processing delay, disruption, or damage. Read the latest event; the parcel may still be delivered or returned. |
| Archived | For some services without delivery confirmation, Chit Chats archives the shipment after 60 days. Partial tracking may end before final delivery. |
Services and Delivery Times
Service Comparison
| Service scope | Best use |
|---|---|
| Within Canada | Lower-cost domestic shipping; coverage and tracking depend on the selected postage service. |
| To the United States | Canadian sellers seeking low-cost U.S. shipping with Delivered Duty Paid options and customs processing. |
| International | Worldwide shipping where the destination and selected partner service are supported. |
Delivery Time
| Timing rule | What it means |
|---|---|
| Estimated delivery time | The expected number of business days for delivery; it is not guaranteed. |
| Start point | Use the service-specific estimate and shipment events rather than assuming that label purchase starts transit. |
| Delay factors | Destination customs, unexpected delays, partner processing, weekends, holidays, disruptions, and incomplete addresses can affect delivery. |
Destination Country Delivery Times
Chit Chats directs users to its current regional estimate rather than publishing one universal country-by-country promise. The estimate depends on origin, destination, service, customs, and business-day counting; the current destination selector on the official site should be used for a shipment-specific quote.
| Destination group | Current planning guidance |
|---|---|
| Canada | Use the Chit Chats estimate for the origin region, destination postal code, package details, and selected service. |
| United States | Use the Chit Chats estimate and allow for customs processing and partner-carrier handoff; Delivered Duty Paid availability depends on the shipment details. |
| International destinations | Use the destination-specific estimate generated by Chit Chats; customs and local delivery conditions can change the actual result. |
Common Tracking Problems and Solutions
Problem & Solution
| Problem/status shown | Immediate action |
|---|---|
| Invalid number | Check the 10-character shipment ID, then ask the seller for the correct Chit Chats or partner-carrier identifier. |
| No tracking after Shipment Created | The seller may still hold the package. The seller should confirm drop-off or pickup. |
| Long gap or In Transit | Check the partner-carrier tracker and the estimated business-day window; customs and handoff scans can create gaps. |
| Exception | Read the latest event for attempted delivery, address, weather, disruption, processing, or damage information. |
| Delivered but missing | Check the delivery location, household members, reception desk, neighbours, and partner-carrier proof of delivery; then contact the seller. |
| Lost or damaged | Contact the seller first. The seller or eligible claimant should use the applicable Chit Chats Insurance or carrier-insurance process after its waiting requirements. |
| Return to sender | Follow the return events. A Chit Chats return address requires additional processing time before the return can be tracked in the Returns tab. |
International Shipping, Customs and Carrier Handoffs
International Flow
| Stage | Tracking interpretation |
|---|---|
| Sender to Chit Chats | The sender drops off, mails through SmartDrop, or schedules pickup after purchasing postage. |
| Chit Chats processing | Chit Chats receives and processes the shipment, potentially moving it between facilities. |
| Partner handoff | Chit Chats transfers the shipment to a partner carrier. A partner scan is evidence of that carrier’s processing, not necessarily the earlier label-creation event. |
| Destination processing | The partner carrier or a second destination-country carrier may provide later events. Arrival in a country does not by itself prove customs release. |
| Customs and last mile | The importer may need to provide accurate product, value, origin, and classification information and pay applicable duties or taxes. |
For U.S. shipments, Chit Chats describes Delivered Duty Paid options and requests a 10-digit HTS number, country of origin, manufacturer information, and retail value when applicable. CUSMA certification may support duty-free treatment for qualifying goods. Customs clearance is separate from delivery confirmation.
Delivery Management and Post-shipment Options
Delivery instructions, redelivery, pickup, address correction, and proof-of-delivery options are controlled by the partner carrier and destination-country delivery network. Chit Chats tracking can show the resulting event, but 17TRACK cannot request or guarantee those actions. Start with the latest partner-carrier event or ask the seller to intervene.
Lost, Damaged, Claims, Insurance and Refunds
| Process | Use when and who acts |
|---|---|
| Tracking inquiry | Use the latest tracking event to understand movement; the recipient should normally contact the seller for transaction support. |
| Insurance or carrier claim | Use for eligible loss or damage after the applicable waiting period. The seller or authorized claimant should follow the relevant Chit Chats or partner-carrier process. |
| Merchant refund | A refund to the buyer is an ecommerce transaction decision made by the seller or marketplace, not by 17TRACK. |
Keep the tracking ID, postage and order records, package description, value evidence, photographs, and original packaging. Filing windows and evidence requirements depend on the purchased service, insurance, and carrier terms.
Shipping Restrictions and Special Handling
| Category | Practical implication |
|---|---|
| Customs data | Accurate HTS classification, origin, manufacturer information, value, and documentation may be required for U.S. shipments. |
| Duties and tariffs | Applicable duties and tariffs depend on classification, origin, and value; the postage estimate can show the relevant breakdown. |
| Packaging and restricted goods | Confirm current Chit Chats and destination-carrier rules before tendering goods, especially for batteries, liquids, dangerous goods, perishables, and prohibited articles. |
Customer Service
| Channel | Verified contact/link |
|---|---|
| Tracking | Chit Chats tracking page; use the shipment ID or review the account history. |
| Support | Chit Chats Help & Support; the support center lists 1-844-842-5040 and supports English and French. |
| Shipment problem | Recipients should contact the seller first; clients can use the support center and prepare the shipment ID, service, addresses, recent scan, value evidence, and photographs. |
Ecommerce and Business Tracking
Chit Chats clients can use shipment IDs and account tracking history, and a connected store may receive Chit Chats tracking updates through fulfillment settings. Businesses handling multiple carriers should distinguish Chit Chats events from partner-carrier events and should not treat partial tracking as a final delivery confirmation.
Developer/API Comparison
| Option | Provider |
|---|---|
| Chit Chats account tracking | Chit Chats |
| Partner-carrier API | The applicable partner carrier |
| Multi-carrier API | 17TRACK |
Use the carrier’s own developer documentation when a business needs carrier-specific data. Use 17TRACK for a multi-carrier workflow only after confirming the carrier code, account requirements, event coverage, and current API documentation.
