Carrier Entity Relationships
| Entity | Relationship to Tipsa |
|---|---|
| Tipsa | Tipsa operates urgent courier and light-parcel services and provides shipment traceability for senders and recipients. |
| 10 Horas, 14 Horas and 19 Horas | These are urgent domestic delivery products presented by Tipsa for capitals and principal population centres. |
| Economy and MV Masivo | Tipsa presents Economy as a general 24-hour service with a maximum of 48 hours in principal locations, and MV Masivo as a 24-to-72-hour mass-shipment service. |
| DPDgroup | DPDgroup is Tipsa's stated international transport network partner; an international shipment may therefore show partner or destination-carrier events. |
| Tipsa agencies and logistics platforms | Tipsa agencies and logistics facilities perform local network handling, collection and delivery operations; the responsible agency can be located by postal code. |
| 17TRACK | 17TRACK is an independent tracking platform that aggregates available carrier events; 17TRACK does not transport Tipsa parcels or decide delivery claims. |
Quick Answer
Enter the Tipsa shipment number in the official Tipsa shipment locator or in 17TRACK. If no result appears, first check that you used the shipment number rather than an order or reference number, then ask the sender or the responsible Tipsa agency to confirm the identifier. 17TRACK is independent and cannot change an address, issue a refund, open a carrier investigation or approve compensation.
How to Track Tipsa Packages
The official route is the Tipsa shipment locator. A second route is 17TRACK, which can consolidate available Tipsa events with events from international or last-mile partners.
| Route | Action |
|---|---|
| Official Tipsa tracking | Open the Tipsa shipment locator and enter the shipment number to view shipment status and the expected delivery date when available. |
| 17TRACK tracking | Open 17TRACK, enter the shipment number and allow automatic carrier recognition or select Tipsa when offered. |
| No shipment number | Request the number from the sender or contact the Tipsa agency responsible for delivery. Tipsa also directs users to its agency locator. |
| Number not active | A label or booking record may exist before the parcel receives its first operational scan. Confirm the number with the sender and retry after handover. |
A shipment number identifies the transport record. An order number identifies a purchase, a reference number is a customer or merchant reference, and a collection number identifies a pickup request. These values are not interchangeable.
Tracking Number Formats and Examples
Tipsa's public pages identify the searchable value as the shipment number but do not publish a universal public character grammar. Use the complete number exactly as supplied by the sender, removing accidental leading or trailing spaces; do not infer the service solely from a prefix.

Tracking Statuses and Meanings
A tracking event describes the latest recorded logistics action, not necessarily the parcel's exact live location. Responsibility can move between the sender, a Tipsa agency, a network facility and an international or destination partner.
Status Quick Lookup
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Shipment registered / label created | Shipment data exists, but the physical parcel may not yet have received a collection or acceptance scan. |
| Collected or accepted | A Tipsa collection point, agency or transport operation has recorded receipt of the shipment. |
| In transit | The shipment is moving through the Tipsa network or a connected transport stage. |
| Out for delivery | The local delivery operation has assigned the shipment for a delivery attempt. |
| Delivery attempted / exception | Delivery requires attention, such as an address, recipient, access or routing issue; follow the latest event and contact the sender or agency. |
| Available at agency | Tipsa states that a shipment can be collected at the agency nearest the recipient's postal code. |
| Delivered | A delivery scan has been recorded. If the parcel is missing, check the delivery location and ask the sender to pursue the carrier inquiry. |
| Returned to sender | The shipment is moving back after an unsuccessful delivery, collection or holding period. |

Common Tracking Problems and Solutions
Start with the latest scan, the shipment number and the responsible agency. For loss or damage, Tipsa directs recipients to contact the sender; the sender can then raise the service issue through the relevant Tipsa channel.
Problem & Solution
| Problem/status shown | Immediate action |
|---|---|
| Invalid number | Re-enter the shipment number, remove accidental spaces and ask the sender to distinguish it from an order or reference number. |
| No tracking events | Check whether the parcel has physically been handed over; ask the sender or Tipsa agency to confirm the record. |
| Label created | Data may have been registered before acceptance; the sender should confirm collection and dispatch. |
| Long gap in transit | Allow for sorting, line-haul or partner visibility gaps, then ask the sender to contact the responsible agency. |
| Delivery exception or failed attempt | Check address and access details, use the agency locator and coordinate with the sender or local agency. |
| Address needs changing | Only the sender can authorise a change; the recipient must request it through the sender. |
| Available for collection | Tipsa says collection is available at the nearest agency for 15 days from shipment departure; take DNI or passport. |
| Delivered but missing | Check household members, reception, neighbours and the delivery location, then ask the sender to contact Tipsa. |
| Lost or damaged | Preserve packaging and contents evidence and notify the sender, who should initiate the carrier-side inquiry. |
| Returned to sender | Ask the sender why delivery failed and arrange a new shipment or corrected address with the sender. |
International Shipping, Customs and Carrier Handoffs
Tipsa states that it provides international transport through DPDgroup. An international tracking record may therefore combine Tipsa handling, international transport, customs events and destination-carrier delivery scans. Arrival in a destination country or exchange facility does not by itself prove customs release.
International Flow
| Stage | Typical event and action |
|---|---|
| Origin collection | Tipsa or its agency records collection; the sender should retain the shipment documentation. |
| Export processing | The shipment is sorted and prepared for international transport; scans may pause between facilities. |
| Customs and security | Authorities or transport operators assess export or import requirements; provide accurate commercial and contents information when requested. |
| Line-haul and partner handoff | DPDgroup or another connected transport operation may carry the shipment. An electronic pre-advice is not the same as physical acceptance. |
| Destination delivery | A destination partner may perform local delivery; the original identifier may remain visible or an associated partner identifier may appear. |
Delivery Management and Post-shipment Options
Tipsa's published FAQ confirms agency collection, address-change authorisation by the sender, an agency locator and delivery options associated with its eCommerce service.
| Option | Who can request it |
|---|---|
| Address change | The sender must authorise the change; a recipient requests it through the sender. |
| Agency collection | The recipient can collect where the shipment is made available, using DNI or passport; another person needs a photocopy of the recipient's identification. |
| Agency lookup | Recipients can search by postal code, province or agency number through the official agency locator. |
| Convenience-point delivery | Tipsa's 360º eCommerce service advertises convenience points and delivery notifications; eligibility depends on the contracted shipment. |
Lost, Damaged, Claims, Insurance and Refunds
A tracking enquiry, a carrier investigation, a claim and a merchant refund are separate processes. Tipsa's FAQ instructs the recipient to notify the sender when goods are lost or damaged.
| Process | Use when and who acts |
|---|---|
| Tracking enquiry | Use when an event is unclear; the recipient can ask the sender or agency to clarify the latest scan. |
| Loss or damage notification | The recipient should notify the sender; the sender communicates with the responsible Tipsa agency. |
| Merchant refund | The seller decides a customer refund under the sale contract; 17TRACK cannot approve it. |
Shipping Restrictions and Special Handling
Tipsa states that transported goods must not exceed 50 kg per parcel and that the sum of height, width and length must be below 300 cm. International and healthcare consignments may have additional route, packaging and regulatory requirements.
| Category | Key condition and tracking impact |
|---|---|
| Weight and dimensions | Maximum stated weight is 50 kg per parcel and the sum of the three dimensions must be below 300 cm; non-compliance can affect acceptance or routing. |
| Healthcare and temperature-sensitive goods | Tipsa offers ambient and controlled-temperature healthcare logistics under GDP requirements; service suitability must be agreed before dispatch. |
| International goods | Customs, destination-country rules and transport restrictions can delay or prevent delivery; the sender must provide accurate contents information. |
Customer Service
For a shipment problem, Tipsa asks existing customers to contact the local Tipsa delegation. Consumers can use the official contact form, the FAQ contact route or the published telephone numbers.

FAQ
Basic FAQs
Enter the shipment number on the official Tipsa shipment locator or use 17TRACK to view available events.
Check the sender's receipt, label, dispatch message or merchant order information; if it is missing, ask the sender or responsible Tipsa agency.
Tipsa's cited public pages do not define one universal public format, so use the complete shipment number supplied by the sender rather than guessing from a prefix.
The first event appears after shipment data and physical handling are recorded; a label record alone does not prove that Tipsa has received the parcel.
Sorting, line-haul, agency processing or an international partner handoff can create a visibility gap; ask the sender to check with the responsible agency if the gap persists.
Published domestic standards include before 10:00, 14:00 or 19:00 services, Economy generally in 24 hours with a maximum of 48 hours in principal locations, and MV Masivo in 24 to 72 hours.
Check the address and latest event, then contact the sender or the responsible Tipsa agency to arrange the next delivery action.
Check the delivery location, household members, reception and neighbours first, then ask the sender to contact Tipsa with the shipment number.
Keep the packaging and evidence, notify the sender promptly and ask the sender to pursue the carrier-side process.
Use the official contact form, call 900 10 10 47 or 902 10 10 47, email info@tip-sa.com, or contact the local Tipsa agency.
Expert FAQs
Only the sender can authorise a change; the recipient must request the change through the sender.
Tipsa's FAQ states that the shipment is available at the nearest agency for 15 days from departure, after which it is returned to the sender.
No. Tipsa international transport uses the DPDgroup network, so a later event may belong to an international or destination partner; an electronic handoff record is not the same as a physical acceptance scan.
No. Destination arrival and customs release are separate events; customs may still require information, payment or inspection.
Tipsa presents Healthcare 360º as an urgent healthcare logistics solution with ambient and controlled-temperature delivery under GDP requirements.
Yes, Tipsa describes eCommerce solutions and integrations for shipment automation, notifications and reverse logistics; businesses should obtain current technical and commercial access details from Tipsa.
No. 17TRACK displays available tracking data but cannot authorise address changes, transport investigations, claims, refunds or delivery outcomes.
