Carrier Entity Relationships
| Entity | Relationship to Nova Post |
|---|---|
| Nova Post | Nova Post operates the delivery options presented on the Poland website, including branches, partner parcel lockers, and direct address delivery. |
| Courier collection | Nova Post offers a courier-call option for sending personal items, documents, gifts, and goods without visiting a branch. |
| International delivery | Nova Post presents international delivery as a service and directs customers to destination, cost, and permitted-goods information. |
| 17TRACK | 17TRACK aggregates available tracking events independently; it does not transport parcels or decide claims, refunds, or address changes. |
Quick Answer
Enter the shipment or parcel number in the Track area on the official Nova Post website, or enter it in 17TRACK for aggregated events. If no result appears, first check that you used a tracking number rather than an order number, copied it correctly, and allowed time for the first carrier scan. 17TRACK is an independent tracking platform and cannot change delivery details, approve refunds, or open a Nova Post claim.
How to Track Nova Post Packages
| Path | Steps |
|---|---|
| Official Nova Post tracking | Open the Poland website, choose Track, enter the shipment number, and compare the latest event with the delivery destination. |
| 17TRACK | Open 17TRACK, enter the identifier, let the platform identify the carrier where possible, and use the displayed event history as a tracking summary. |
| Identifier check | A tracking number identifies transport activity. An order, invoice, merchant reference, or delivery-notice number may not be trackable. |
A merchant normally supplies the tracking number in a dispatch email, order page, receipt, label, or Nova Post shipment record. If the number is invalid, ask the sender to confirm the carrier and identifier; the sender is usually best placed to correct a label or shipment record.
Tracking Number Formats and Examples
The supplied Nova Post Poland materials identify shipment tracking as an API and website function but do not publish a complete public number-format catalogue. Do not infer service type from a prefix alone. Use the official tracker or 17TRACK automatic recognition.
Tracking Number Format
| Identifier family | Normalized pattern |
|---|---|
| Nova Post shipment identifier | Use the number printed on the Nova Post label, receipt, shipment record, or merchant dispatch notice; the complete public pattern is not stated in the supplied Poland page. |
| Merchant order/reference ID | Merchant-defined text or digits; it may identify the purchase rather than the transport record. |
| International or partner identifier | The origin or handoff partner may issue a separate identifier. A number visible in Nova Post tracking is not necessarily issued by Nova Post. |
Tracking Statuses and Meanings
Status Quick Lookup
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Label created / pre-shipment | Shipment data may exist before Nova Post has physically received the item. The sender should verify handover if the status persists. |
| Accepted / received | A Nova Post scan records acceptance; sorting or transport normally follows. |
| In transit | The shipment is moving through the network; scan gaps can occur between facilities. |
| Customs or handoff | The shipment is undergoing cross-border processing or transfer; arrival at customs does not itself prove release. |
| Out for delivery | The delivery stage has begun. Keep the address and recipient available. |
| Delivered / pickup | The event indicates delivery or availability at the selected receiving point. Check proof, locker, branch, household, and reception desk. |
| Exception / return | A delivery or transport issue requires review. The sender should contact Nova Post when a correction, investigation, or claim is needed. |
Services and Delivery Times
Service Comparison
| Service | Best for |
|---|---|
| Branch delivery | Recipients who can collect a parcel at a Nova Post branch. |
| Partner parcel locker | Recipients who select an available partner locker. |
| Direct address delivery | Personal items, documents, gifts, or goods delivered to the recipient address. |
| Courier collection | Senders who want collection without leaving home. |
Delivery Time
| Service | Published delivery information |
|---|---|
| Parcel delivery from Poland | The official calculator provides an estimated delivery time after destination, weight, and dimensions are entered. |
| International delivery | The estimate depends on the selected destination and shipment details; the website does not establish a universal guarantee in the supplied material. |
Destination Country Delivery Times
| Destination country or region | How to obtain the estimate |
|---|---|
| European destinations | Use the Nova Post cost calculator with destination, weight, and dimensions; the result supplies an estimated delivery time for that shipment. |
An estimate is not a guaranteed delivery date. Cut-off times, weekends, holidays, address quality, network load, weather, customs, and handoff scans can affect actual delivery.
Common Tracking Problems and Solutions
Problem & Solution
| Problem or status | Immediate action |
|---|---|
| Invalid number | Remove accidental spaces, re-copy the identifier, and ask the sender to confirm that it is a shipment number. |
| No events | Check the official tracker and allow for the first physical scan; ask the sender whether the parcel was handed over. |
| Long scan gap | Compare the last location with the expected route and contact Nova Post or the sender with the number and last event. |
| Address or delivery exception | Review the address and delivery option. The sender should request a correction where the service permits it. |
| Delivered but missing | Check the branch or locker, household members, neighbours, reception desk, safe-place instructions, and proof of delivery; then contact Nova Post and the sender. |
| Lost or damaged | Keep packaging and photographs, record the last scan, and ask the sender to start the carrier inquiry or claim process. |
| Return to sender | Ask the sender why the return was triggered and whether a new shipment or address correction is possible. |
International Shipping, Customs and Carrier Handoffs
Nova Post presents international delivery from Poland. Cross-border tracking can contain electronic pre-advice, physical handover, customs processing, and destination delivery events. A customs arrival event is not proof of customs release.
International Flow
| Stage | What it means |
|---|---|
| Origin acceptance | Nova Post or an origin handoff point records the shipment; the physical custodian should be inferred from the latest scan. |
| Export processing | The parcel is prepared for cross-border transport and export procedures. |
| Line-haul and handoff | The parcel moves between transport networks. Electronic pre-advice may appear before a receiving scan. |
| Import customs | Destination authorities or their appointed process review the shipment. Taxes, documents, and restrictions depend on destination rules. |
| Destination delivery | Nova Post or a destination delivery partner performs the final delivery or makes the parcel available for collection. |
Delivery Management and Post-shipment Options
| Option | Who uses it and where |
|---|---|
| Branch collection | A recipient can receive a parcel at a Nova Post branch when that option is selected or offered. |
| Partner parcel locker | A recipient can use an available partner parcel locker shown by Nova Post. |
| Courier collection | A sender can request collection through the official shipment flow; eligibility and pricing are determined during booking. |
Lost, Damaged, Claims, Insurance and Refunds
Tracking support, a missing-shipment inquiry, an insurance claim, a postage refund, and a marketplace refund are different processes. Preserve the label, receipt, packaging, photographs, item description, value evidence, and the latest tracking event. 17TRACK cannot approve any of these outcomes.
| Process | Use when |
|---|---|
| Tracking inquiry | The event history is unclear or has stopped; provide the shipment number and last scan to Nova Post or the sender. |
| Carrier investigation or claim | The parcel is alleged to be lost or damaged; the sender should follow the applicable Nova Post procedure and retain evidence. |
| Merchant refund | The purchase dispute concerns the seller; contact the seller separately from the carrier inquiry. |
Shipping Restrictions and Special Handling
| Category | Action |
|---|---|
| Permitted goods | Check the official permitted-goods guidance before packing; the Poland website links to a dedicated permitted-goods section. |
| International goods | Confirm destination-country customs and import requirements before dispatch. |
| Prohibited or restricted items | Do not rely on a generic list for batteries, liquids, dangerous goods, perishables, or valuables; check the current Nova Post rules and destination requirements. |
Customer Service
| Channel | Best use |
|---|---|
| Official website | Nova Post Poland provides Track, shipment creation, the branch and locker map, the cost calculator, and permitted-goods information. |
| Branch or parcel-locker map | Find a receiving or sending location through the official Poland website. |
| Sender or merchant | Best escalation route for a missing label, shipment correction, marketplace order, claim ownership, or refund dispute. |
Prepare the shipment number, sender and recipient details, dispatch date, service or destination, latest scan, and photographs or value evidence where relevant.
Ecommerce and Business Tracking
Nova Post provides an integration platform for business systems. Its documentation describes shipment creation and management, tracking, courier pickup, dictionaries, webhooks for events and status updates, fulfillment, Postman collections, and an official PHP SDK.
Developer/API Comparison
| Option | Provider |
|---|---|
| International Nova Post API | Nova Post |
| Ukraine API 2.0 | Nova Post |
| Multi-carrier tracking API | 17TRACK |
The international platform documents URL-based versioning and lists the current v1.0 shipment path as an example, with transition support when a future major version is released. The Ukraine API documentation uses an API key and JSON or XML endpoints and directs international integrations to the international API.
FAQ
Basic FAQs
Enter the shipment number on the official Nova Post website or use 17TRACK to view available events.
Check the label, receipt, shipment record, dispatch email, or merchant order page.
Nova Post’s Poland page does not publish one universal public pattern, so use the complete identifier supplied by the sender and verify it in the official tracker.
The first event appears after shipment data is processed and a physical acceptance or network scan is recorded; label creation alone does not prove handover.
A scan gap can occur between facilities or during handoff; recheck the official tracker and ask the sender to verify physical acceptance.
Use the official calculator because the estimate depends on destination, weight, dimensions, and the selected delivery route.
Review the latest event, address, branch, or locker information and contact Nova Post or the sender for the available next delivery action.
Check the branch, locker, household, neighbours, reception desk, and proof of delivery before contacting Nova Post and the sender.
Preserve the packaging and evidence and ask the sender to follow the applicable Nova Post inquiry or claim process.
Use the official Poland website, its tracking and location tools, or the sender’s support route with the shipment number ready.
Expert FAQs
No; a partner or origin network can issue an identifier that Nova Post later displays during a handoff.
Electronic pre-advice transfers shipment data, while handover requires the receiving network to obtain the physical parcel and record its scan.
No; customs arrival and customs release are separate events, and destination rules determine documents and charges.
Yes; the Nova Post integration platform documents shipment methods, tracking, webhooks, API keys or tokens, and an official PHP SDK.
Use the international Nova Post API documentation for international shipments and services outside the Ukraine-specific API scope.
The API methods documentation describes webhooks for receiving events and status updates through subscriptions.
