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.

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

PathSteps
Chit ChatsOpen 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 carrierOpen the shipment details in the Chit Chats account, identify the partner carrier and carrier tracking number, then use that carrier’s official tracker.
17TRACKEnter 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 familyNormalized pattern
Chit Chats shipment IDAB1234C5D6
Partner-carrier numberCarrier-specific; use the number shown in shipment details.
Order or reference IDMerchant-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

StatusMeaning and next action
Shipment CreatedPostage was purchased, but the sender or seller may still hold the parcel. The sender should hand it to Chit Chats.
Received by Chit ChatsChit Chats received the shipment for processing. It may move between Chit Chats facilities next.
In Transit / Transferred to CarrierChit Chats handed the shipment to a partner carrier. The partner carrier becomes responsible for subsequent carrier scans.

ExceptionA 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.
ArchivedFor 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 scopeBest use
Within CanadaLower-cost domestic shipping; coverage and tracking depend on the selected postage service.
To the United StatesCanadian sellers seeking low-cost U.S. shipping with Delivered Duty Paid options and customs processing.
InternationalWorldwide shipping where the destination and selected partner service are supported.

Delivery Time

Timing ruleWhat it means
Estimated delivery timeThe expected number of business days for delivery; it is not guaranteed.
Start pointUse the service-specific estimate and shipment events rather than assuming that label purchase starts transit.
Delay factorsDestination 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 groupCurrent planning guidance
CanadaUse the Chit Chats estimate for the origin region, destination postal code, package details, and selected service.
United StatesUse the Chit Chats estimate and allow for customs processing and partner-carrier handoff; Delivered Duty Paid availability depends on the shipment details.
International destinationsUse 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 shownImmediate action
Invalid numberCheck the 10-character shipment ID, then ask the seller for the correct Chit Chats or partner-carrier identifier.
No tracking after Shipment CreatedThe seller may still hold the package. The seller should confirm drop-off or pickup.
Long gap or In TransitCheck the partner-carrier tracker and the estimated business-day window; customs and handoff scans can create gaps.
ExceptionRead the latest event for attempted delivery, address, weather, disruption, processing, or damage information.
Delivered but missingCheck the delivery location, household members, reception desk, neighbours, and partner-carrier proof of delivery; then contact the seller.
Lost or damagedContact 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 senderFollow 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

StageTracking interpretation
Sender to Chit ChatsThe sender drops off, mails through SmartDrop, or schedules pickup after purchasing postage.
Chit Chats processingChit Chats receives and processes the shipment, potentially moving it between facilities.
Partner handoffChit 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 processingThe 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 mileThe 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

ProcessUse when and who acts
Tracking inquiryUse the latest tracking event to understand movement; the recipient should normally contact the seller for transaction support.
Insurance or carrier claimUse 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 refundA 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

CategoryPractical implication
Customs dataAccurate HTS classification, origin, manufacturer information, value, and documentation may be required for U.S. shipments.
Duties and tariffsApplicable duties and tariffs depend on classification, origin, and value; the postage estimate can show the relevant breakdown.
Packaging and restricted goodsConfirm current Chit Chats and destination-carrier rules before tendering goods, especially for batteries, liquids, dangerous goods, perishables, and prohibited articles.

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.
