About PACK & SEND
PACK & SEND is an Australian courier, freight, parcel-delivery, packing and logistics network. PACK & SEND arranges domestic and international shipments through a network of service centres and transport carriers; it is not necessarily the physical carrier operating every transport leg.

Carrier Entity Relationships
| Entity | Relationship to PACK & SEND |
|---|---|
| PACK & SEND | PACK & SEND accepts, packs, books and supports shipments through service centres and logistics systems. |
| Transport carriers | PACK & SEND uses multiple carriers for different routes, shipment sizes and service requirements. |
| PACK & SEND Live | PACK & SEND Live is a business shipping platform supporting bulk consignments and access to multiple carriers through one account. |
| Service centres | PACK & SEND service centres can accept drop-offs, provide packing support and offer collection arrangements where selected. |

Quick Answer
Enter the shipment tracking number supplied by PACK & SEND, the seller or the booking confirmation into the Track Shipment route on the official PACK & SEND website or into 17TRACK. If there is no result, first check that you entered a tracking number rather than an order number, remove accidental spaces, and allow time for the first carrier scan. PACK & SEND may arrange transport with another carrier, so the transport carrier shown in the booking or tracking result can be important.
How to Track PACK & SEND Packages
The most reliable route is to use the tracking number from the PACK & SEND receipt, booking confirmation, label or seller dispatch email. The official PACK & SEND website provides a Track Shipment entry, while 17TRACK can help identify and consolidate available events.
| Route | What to do |
|---|---|
| Official PACK & SEND tracking | Open the PACK & SEND website, choose the Track Shipment route and enter the shipment identifier supplied for the booking. |
| 17TRACK | Enter the identifier at 17TRACK; select the detected transport carrier when automatic recognition needs confirmation. |
| No number | Ask the sender, seller or PACK & SEND service centre for the shipment identifier. An order number is not automatically a tracking number. |
| No scan | Check the spelling and label status, then ask the sender or booking service centre whether the parcel has physically been handed to the transport carrier. |
Tracking Number Formats and Examples
PACK & SEND is a multi-carrier logistics provider, so there is no single universal PACK & SEND tracking-number format. The identifier may be issued by PACK & SEND, a contracted transport carrier or an international postal or last-mile operator. A booking reference, order number, consignment number and carrier tracking number can be different identifiers.
Tracking Number Format
| Identifier family | Normalized pattern | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PACK & SEND booking or consignment identifier | Carrier-specific or booking-specific alphanumeric format; use the exact identifier supplied on the receipt or dispatch message. | ||||||

| |||||||
| International postal identifier | A postal S10-style identifier may appear as two letters, nine digits and a two-letter origin code, such as AA#########AU. | ||||||
View all details for international postal identifiers
| |||||||
| Merchant order or reference ID | A seller-defined number, often shorter or unrelated to the transport label. | ||||||
| Last-mile identifier | A destination carrier may create or expose a local delivery identifier after handoff. | ||||||
For a domestic PACK & SEND booking, the sender normally sees the identifier on the receipt, label or online booking record. A marketplace buyer normally sees the number supplied in the dispatch email. For an international shipment, the buyer may see an origin-post identifier, a contracted carrier identifier or a destination last-mile number. Use official tracking or 17TRACK automatic recognition rather than assuming that a prefix proves the service.
Tracking Statuses and Meanings
A tracking status describes the latest electronic event, not always the physical location at the exact moment of the search. The transport carrier shown in the event is the best indicator of who currently controls the next movement.
Status Quick Lookup
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Label created / awaiting item | Electronic shipment data exists, but a physical acceptance scan may not have occurred. |
| Accepted / collected | A service centre or transport carrier has recorded receipt or collection. |
| In transit | The shipment is moving through a carrier network or between facilities. |
| Shipping partner handoff | Shipment data or custody is moving between PACK & SEND and a contracted carrier; the event does not by itself prove final-carrier acceptance. |
| Customs processing | Authorities or a customs broker are reviewing import or export information; arrival at customs is not release. |
| Out for delivery | The destination delivery operator has assigned the shipment to a delivery route. |
| Delivered | A delivery scan was recorded. Check the proof, safe place, reception desk or nominated recipient if the parcel is missing. |
| Exception / return | A problem is blocking normal delivery or the shipment is being sent back; contact the booking party or current delivery carrier. |
Services and Delivery Times
PACK & SEND offers shipment solutions rather than one single transit product. The selected transport carrier, origin, destination, size, packaging, customs and service level determine the delivery estimate.
Service Comparison
| Service | Best for |
|---|---|
| Domestic courier and parcel delivery | Australia-wide parcels, urgent metro delivery and interstate consignments. |
| Domestic freight | Cartons, pallets, oversized goods and shipments over the straightforward parcel limit. |
| International courier and air freight | Time-sensitive parcels, documents, commercial consignments and valuable goods. |
| International sea freight | Bulk or non-urgent shipments where capacity and cost matter more than speed. |
| Packing and specialist handling | Fragile, awkward, valuable, electronic or unpacked items requiring assessment. |
Delivery Time
| Service | Published guidance |
|---|---|
| Standard interstate freight | Typical electronics-shipping guidance is 5–10 business days; the shipment quote and selected carrier control the applicable estimate. |
| Expedited domestic freight | Typical guidance is 2–5 business days for the cited electronics service. |
| Express domestic delivery | Typical guidance is 1–2 business days where the selected service supports it. |
| International express air freight | Typical guidance is 3–7 business days for the cited electronics service. |
| International standard air freight | Typical guidance is 5–10 business days for the cited electronics service. |
| International sea freight | Typical guidance is 6–10 weeks; port, customs and sailing schedules can change the estimate. |
Destination Country Delivery Times
| Destination | Planning guidance |
|---|---|
| New Zealand | Use the quoted international courier, air-freight or sea-freight estimate; customs and rural delivery can add time. |
| United States, Canada and United Kingdom | Select the quoted service and check destination import requirements; no universal PACK & SEND country transit average applies to every shipment. |
| Europe, Asia and other destinations | Transit depends on the contracted carrier, service, origin, customs clearance, destination address and shipment contents. |
The destination table is intentionally quote-led: PACK & SEND arranges different carriers and shipment modes, so a single country-wide average would imply a precision the official service information does not establish. A delivery estimate is not automatically a guaranteed delivery date.
Common Tracking Problems and Solutions
Problem & Solution
| Problem/status shown | Immediate action |
|---|---|
| Invalid number | Compare the number with the receipt or dispatch email, remove spaces, and ask the sender to confirm the carrier identifier. |
| No tracking events | Check whether the label was created but the parcel was physically accepted; the sender should contact the booking centre. |
| No update in transit | Allow for transport and handoff scanning gaps, then escalate through the sender or PACK & SEND service centre with the last event. |
| Customs hold | Check whether duties, identity, invoice or import information is required from the recipient. |
| Address or delivery failure | Contact the current delivery operator or booking centre promptly; do not assume 17TRACK can amend the address. |
| Delivered but not received | Check the safe place, household members, neighbours, reception desk, proof of delivery and local depot before asking the sender to open an investigation. |
| Returned to sender | Ask why it was returned, whether redelivery is possible and who pays any new transport or customs charge. |
| Lost or damaged | Photograph the packaging and contents, retain all materials and ask the sender or contracting party about the applicable warranty or claim process. |
International Shipping, Customs and Carrier Handoffs
PACK & SEND promotes worldwide shipping to more than 220 countries using international courier, air-freight and sea-freight solutions. The exact origin carrier, customs broker and destination delivery operator depend on the booking.
International Flow
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Booking and pickup | PACK & SEND or a service centre records the consignment, packs it where required and arranges pickup or drop-off. |
| Export transport | The selected courier, airline, freight provider or postal operator moves the shipment toward export processing. |
| Export customs and security | Export documentation and security checks may occur before international departure. |
| Line-haul | The shipment travels by air or sea; scans can be sparse between facilities. |
| Import customs | Destination authorities or a broker assess the shipment; arrival at customs does not prove clearance. |
| Destination handoff | A destination courier, postal operator or freight company may assume the next delivery leg and may expose another local identifier. |
| Last mile | The destination operator delivers, requests collection or records an exception or return. |
Delivery Management and Post-shipment Options
PACK & SEND promotes parcel drop-off, door pickup and Hold for Collection through its service-centre network. Availability, fees and deadlines depend on the booking and local centre.
| Option | Who should request it |
|---|---|
| Parcel drop-off | The sender can arrange drop-off at a PACK & SEND service centre instead of waiting for a courier pickup. |
| Hold for Collection | The sender can select a PACK & SEND service-centre delivery option where offered; the recipient collects after the centre confirms availability. |
| Mailbox or parcel collection | Eligible mailbox holders can collect mail and parcels through the local mailbox service, subject to centre rules. |
Claims, Restrictions and Special Handling
A tracking inquiry, a loss investigation, a damage claim, a warranty request and a merchant refund are separate processes. The contracting sender should preserve the receipt, photos, packaging, invoices and proof of value and ask PACK & SEND or the applicable transport carrier which process governs the shipment.
Claims and Refunds
| Process | Use when |
|---|---|
| Tracking inquiry | The scan history is unclear or has stopped; provide the tracking number and last event. |
| Loss or damage claim | The shipment is lost, damaged or missing contents; filing rules depend on the selected carrier and protection. |
| Freight Plus Warranty | Optional financial protection promoted by PACK & SEND for eligible loss or damage situations. |
| Merchant refund | A seller decides whether to refund the buyer; 17TRACK cannot approve it. |
Shipping Restrictions
| Category | Practical implication |
|---|---|
| Dangerous and restricted goods | Acceptance depends on the selected carrier, route, declaration and packaging requirements. |
| Lithium batteries and electronics | Battery type, installation, quantity and transport mode can affect acceptance and customs handling. |
| Fragile or valuable goods | Professional packing and optional protection may be appropriate; the sender should disclose the contents. |
| Perishable or prohibited goods | Do not book until PACK & SEND and the selected carrier confirm that the item is accepted for the route. |
Customer Service
For a PACK & SEND booking, start with the service centre or sender that created the shipment. Prepare the tracking number, booking date, origin and destination, service type, latest scan, item description and photographs where damage is involved.

Expert FAQs
No. PACK & SEND arranges logistics and uses multiple carriers, so the latest event may identify another operator as the current physical custodian.
An internal booking reference, transport-carrier number and destination last-mile identifier can represent different stages of one shipment.
No. Customs arrival means the shipment is available for review; release requires the applicable authority or broker to complete its process.
PACK & SEND Live is a business shipping platform for booking and managing consignments with access to multiple carriers through one account.
The public PACK & SEND evidence describes PACK & SEND Live but does not establish a public PACK & SEND tracking API specification; businesses should confirm access directly with PACK & SEND or use a documented multi-carrier provider.
