Carrier Entity Relationships

Entity	Relationship to GPS
Global Parcel Service Inc.	Global Parcel Service Inc. is the company operating the GPS logistics brand.
Air, ocean, trucking and rail services	GPS coordinates these transport modes as part of its global logistics offering; the physical operator can vary by shipment.
USPS and destination delivery providers	GPS states that United States shipments may be delivered by USPS and international shipments may be delivered by a local post office or another delivery company.
GPS tracking website	The GPS tracking page displays available shipment events and accepts up to 25 tracking numbers separated by commas.
17TRACK	17TRACK is an independent aggregation platform and is not the operator of GPS transportation services.

Quick Answer

Enter the tracking number from the retailer, marketplace, shipping confirmation, label or GPS account into the official GPS tracking page. You can also enter it into 17TRACK. GPS states that events typically appear within 24–48 hours after order confirmation. If no event appears after 48 hours, contact the retailer or marketplace first. 17TRACK is independent and cannot change delivery details, issue refunds or approve claims.

How to Track GPS Packages

Path	Steps
Official GPS tracking	Open the GPS tracking page, enter the shipment tracking number, and select Track Shipment. Up to 25 numbers may be entered separated by commas.
17TRACK	Open 17TRACK, enter the shipment identifier, review detected carrier events, and compare the latest event with the retailer’s order record.
No result	Check for spaces, mistyped characters, an order number entered instead of a tracking number, or a label that has not yet produced its first scan.

A tracking number identifies shipment movement. An order number identifies a purchase, while a reference number may identify a merchant transaction. GPS says the tracking number is normally available from the e-commerce retailer or marketplace.

Tracking Number Formats and Examples

GPS publishes an example beginning with 420331 and describes its tracking field as a shipment tracking number. The official pages do not publish a complete universal numbering specification, so a prefix alone should not be used to infer the service or the physical carrier.

View all details for GPS shipment identifiers

Issued by	The identifier is supplied through the retailer, marketplace or GPS shipment workflow; the public page does not state that every number is physically issued by GPS.
Where users see it	Buyers may see it in an order confirmation or shipping notice; business users may receive it through their GPS account.
Tracking scope	GPS displays available events for the shipment. A destination delivery provider may create additional local references.
Caveat	Do not confuse the tracking number with an order number, merchant reference or delivery notice number.

Partner or last-mile identifier

Format depends on the postal or delivery company handling the relevant transport stage.

View all details for partner identifiers

Who issues it	The destination post office or delivery company may issue or continue a local identifier.
User scenario	International recipients may see the original GPS-linked identifier, a local number, or both.
Validation	Use the official GPS tracker or an independent multi-carrier tracker rather than relying only on the first characters.

Tracking Statuses and Meanings

Status	Meaning and next action
Label created / awaiting first event	Shipment data exists but a physical acceptance scan may not yet be available. Wait for the first event and contact the retailer if the 48-hour guidance is exceeded.
In transit	The shipment is moving through the arranged network. Weather, holidays, customs, labor action and handoffs can create gaps.
Customs or destination handoff	The shipment is being processed by customs or a destination delivery provider. Arrival at a country does not itself prove customs release.
Out for delivery	A local delivery provider has assigned the parcel for delivery. Check the address and delivery location.
Delivered	A delivery scan was recorded. Check the mailbox, porch, reception desk, household members and local delivery notices before escalating.
Exception or returned	An address, refusal, missed collection, vacancy or other delivery issue may have prevented completion. Contact the retailer or marketplace promptly.

Services and Delivery Times

Service Comparison

Service type	Best fit
Global delivery	International e-commerce shipments using air, ocean, trucking, rail or customs-clearance coordination.
Local management and fulfillment	Warehousing, packing, shipping, account management and FBA-related fulfillment.
Standard or expedited delivery	The retailer or marketplace selects the shipment service; the delivery provider may differ by destination.
Returns	Returned shipments may be consolidated or reshipped through GPS return services.

Delivery Time

Service	Delivery guidance
United States shipments	Timing depends on the shipping service selected by the retailer or marketplace; delivery may be by USPS or another provider.
International shipments	Timing depends on origin, destination, selected service, customs and the local delivery provider.
Expedited or same-day/next-day offering	GPS advertises standard through expedited options, including same-day and next-day services, but the applicable service must be confirmed for the shipment.

Destination Country Delivery Times

Destination group	Operational guidance
United States	USPS or another delivery provider may perform final delivery; check the selected service and latest scan.
Other international destinations	The destination post office or another local delivery company may deliver the shipment; customs and local processing affect the delivery window.

GPS does not publish a single universal country-by-country delivery calendar on the cited tracking and FAQ pages. A quoted delivery estimate should therefore be treated as shipment-specific rather than as a guaranteed date.

Common Tracking Problems and Solutions

Problem & Solution

Problem/status shown	Immediate action
Invalid number	Compare the number with the retailer notice, remove accidental punctuation, and verify that it is not an order number.
No tracking event	Allow the official 24–48-hour publication window after order confirmation, then contact the retailer or marketplace.
Long gap or stuck in transit	Review weather, holidays, customs and destination handoff conditions; ask the retailer to investigate when the expected delivery time has passed.
Shipping partner handoff	The electronic record may precede the physical handoff. Wait for the receiving carrier’s scan and keep the original identifier.
Address or delivery failure	Check the address, notices and local delivery location. The sender or retailer should handle changes and escalation.
Delivered but not received	Check mailbox, porch, building reception, household members, neighbors and delivery notices; then contact the retailer or marketplace.

International Shipping, Customs and Carrier Handoffs

Stage	What happens and what to do
Origin preparation	The retailer or GPS prepares shipment data, packing and transport arrangements.
Export and line-haul	Air, ocean, rail or trucking may be used. Scans can be separated by a visibility gap.
Customs	GPS offers customs-clearance coordination. DDU may require recipient payment; DDP charges duties and taxes to the GPS account.
Destination handoff	The local post office or another delivery company may take responsibility for final delivery.
Last mile	Check the destination provider’s notice, mailbox or delivery location and respond to any customs or payment request.

A destination-country scan does not prove that customs has released the parcel. The tracking number may remain the same or may be associated with a local delivery identifier.

Delivery Management and Post-shipment Options

Option	Verified scope
Delivery confirmation	GPS states that delivery confirmation through tracking is available free for all services.
Signature confirmation	GPS states that signature confirmation is available for a per-parcel fee.
USPS redelivery and collection	GPS states that two notices may be left on Day 0 and Day 5, with parcels held at the post office for 15 days before return.
Return consolidation or reshipment	GPS provides a return service for returned shipments that can be consolidated or reshipped.

Lost, Damaged, Claims, Insurance and Refunds

Process	Use when
Tracking inquiry	Use the GPS tracking page to review available events and delivery confirmation.
Retailer or marketplace escalation	Use when the expected delivery time has passed, the parcel is missing, or the shipment needs investigation.
Damage or value claim	Contact the sender, retailer or GPS account representative for the applicable service process and evidence requirements.

Keep the packaging, contents photographs, invoice, shipment number and delivery records. 17TRACK cannot approve a claim, refund postage or change a delivery result.

2. Where can I find my GPS tracking number?

Check the retailer’s order confirmation, shipping notice, marketplace account or GPS shipment record.

3. What does a GPS tracking number look like?

GPS publicly shows an example beginning with 420331, but the public pages do not define one universal format for every service.

4. When will GPS tracking appear?

GPS says tracking events typically appear within 24–48 hours after order confirmation.

5. Why is my GPS tracking not updating?

Weather, holidays, customs, labor strikes, handoffs and missing scans can delay visible events; contact the retailer after the expected delivery time passes.

6. How long does GPS delivery take?

Delivery depends on the service selected by the retailer or marketplace, origin, destination, customs and the final delivery provider.

7. What happens after a GPS delivery attempt fails?

Check delivery notices and address details; for USPS delivery, GPS describes two notices and a 15-day post-office holding period before return.

Expert FAQs

11. Does GPS operate every delivery leg itself?

No single operator should be assumed for every leg; GPS coordinates multiple transport modes and states that USPS or another local delivery company may complete final delivery.

12. What is the difference between GPS tracking and a local carrier scan?

GPS displays available shipment events, while the local carrier may add acceptance, customs, delivery or pickup scans after handoff.

13. Does a customs arrival scan mean that a GPS parcel is released?

No. Arrival at a destination country or exchange point is different from customs release and final delivery authorization.

14. What do DDU and DDP mean for GPS shipments?

DDU generally requires the recipient to pay destination duties or taxes, while DDP bills duties and taxes to the GPS account.

15. Can GPS handle lithium-battery shipments?

GPS says permission from the account representative is required, with MSDS, shipper’s declaration and IATA-compliant labeling and packaging for air transport.

16. Can GPS tracking be used for business shipments?

Yes. GPS describes e-commerce, B2B and FBA logistics services, while business customers should obtain account-specific integration instructions directly from GPS.
