Carrier Entity Relationships

EntityRelationship and tracking significance
SerpostSerpost is the Peruvian postal operator responsible for postal services in Peru and for the Serpost tracking records shown on its website.
Expreso 24 and Expreso EconómicoThese are domestic services listed by Serpost for national shipments; the selected service determines the applicable operational process.
Expreso – EMS, Económico and Exporta FácilThese are international services listed by Serpost; international events can involve postal, customs and destination-operator processing.
Destination postal operatorThe destination postal operator may handle import processing and last-mile delivery after international postal exchange; the destination operator is not necessarily Serpost.
17TRACK17TRACK is an independent platform that aggregates available carrier events; 17TRACK does not transport Serpost shipments or decide claims.

Quick Answer

Enter the shipment number printed on the Serpost receipt, label or arrival notice into the official Serpost tracking page or into 17TRACK. If no result appears, first remove spaces and hyphens, check every character, and confirm that the seller supplied a shipment identifier rather than an order number. A newly created label may not yet have a physical acceptance scan.

Pro Tip: 17TRACK displays available events but cannot change an address, accelerate customs, issue a refund, approve a claim or determine who legally owns the shipment.

How to Track Serpost Packages

Use the official Serpost tracking page for the carrier’s own event view, or use 17TRACK when you need a consolidated view across postal and delivery partners.

PathSteps and required information
Official Serpost trackingOpen Seguimiento en Línea, enter the shipment number, and select search. Use the number from the posting receipt, shipping label or arrival notice.
17TRACKOpen 17TRACK, paste the shipment number, allow carrier identification or select Serpost when available, and compare the latest event with the official record.
No resultCheck whether the number is an order, reference or marketplace number; correct transcription errors; then ask the seller or sender to confirm the postal identifier and posting date.
Different identifiersAn order number identifies a purchase, a reference number identifies a seller record, an arrival notice identifies a delivery notice, and a shipment number identifies the postal item. Only the shipment identifier is intended for Serpost tracking.

Tracking Number Formats

Serpost’s delivery page explicitly accepts an origin number containing two letters, nine numbers and two final letters, or an arrival notice containing two letters and six numbers. The official pages do not establish a complete public prefix-to-service map, so a prefix alone should not be treated as proof of a particular product.

Tracking Number Format

Identifier familyNormalized pattern and use
Origin shipment numberAA ######### AA, consisting of two letters, nine numbers and two final letters. It is the number Serpost’s Delivery page tells customers to provide for a qualifying delivery request.
Arrival noticeAA ######. This is an Aviso de llegada identifier, not necessarily the same identifier printed on the original postal label.
International postal itemA two-letter, nine-digit and two-letter structure is consistent with the international postal identifier format described by Serpost’s delivery instructions. The issuing postal operator and service must be verified from the receipt and tracking record.
Marketplace order or referenceA seller-generated order or reference value may contain letters and numbers but is not automatically a Serpost tracking number.
Barcode or label identifierA barcode can encode operational data that is not intended for consumer tracking. Use the shipment number printed with the postal transaction rather than guessing from a barcode.

Examples in this guide are deliberately masked: AA 123456789 AA and AA 123456. Do not submit a random example as a real shipment. Serpost may display or receive identifiers issued in an international postal exchange; the fact that Serpost can display an event does not by itself prove that Serpost issued the number.

Tracking Statuses and Meanings

Serpost’s online tracking view uses lifecycle labels including processing, delivered, undelivered, entry to the distribution post office, transit to the destination country, departure from destination-country customs, customs observation and arrival in the destination country.

Status Quick Lookup

StatusLifecycle stage
En procesamientoProcessing; Serpost has an operational record and another handling scan may follow.
En tránsito hacia destino final en país destinoInternational movement; the item is moving through the destination-country postal network.
Llegó a país de destinoDestination-country arrival; this does not mean customs has released the item.
Envío observado por la aduana del país destinoCustoms observation; the importer should review notices and provide requested information or payment through the responsible authority.
Salió de la aduana del país destinoCustoms departure or release event; the destination postal network can continue distribution.
Ingresa a la oficina postal de distribuciónThe item is entering the distribution office stage; the recipient should monitor delivery or collection instructions.
No pudo ser entregadoDelivery was unsuccessful; check the official event and contact the responsible postal office or sender promptly.
EntregadoA delivery scan was recorded; if the parcel is missing, check the delivery location and ask the sender to pursue a postal inquiry.

Services and Delivery Times

Serpost lists domestic express and economic services, international Expreso–EMS and economic services, Exporta Fácil, business distribution, and Serpost Delivery. Published timing depends on the specific service, origin, destination, handling and customs conditions.

Service Comparison

ServiceService type and best use
Expreso 24Domestic express service for time-sensitive national shipments; the official page lists the product but does not establish a universal delivery guarantee here.
Expreso EconómicoDomestic economic service for less urgent shipments.
Expreso – EMSInternational express postal service listed by Serpost as a priority international option.
Económico InternacionalInternational economic postal service for non-urgent shipments.
Exporta FácilExport service intended to simplify product-export procedures and reduce logistical and customs paperwork.
Serpost DeliveryOptional Lima Metropolitana home delivery for qualifying shipments over 2 kg and/or shipments that have passed customs clearance.

Delivery Time

ServicePublished delivery information
Serpost DeliveryUp to 5 business days within Lima Metropolitana, excluding Sundays and holidays; one delivery attempt is stated by Serpost.
Domestic servicesThe supplied official service pages identify the products but do not provide a single universal standard applicable to every route.
International servicesTiming depends on origin, destination, selected service, customs and destination postal handling; no universal guarantee is stated in the supplied pages.

Destination Country Delivery Times

Destination country or regionVerified planning guidance
International destinations served by SerpostSerpost states international coverage and lists international Expreso–EMS, Económico and Exporta Fácil. A destination-specific time range, average days and named last-mile partner require the selected service, origin, destination and current postal conditions; consult Serpost’s international service information before quoting a customer.

An estimated delivery date is an operational forecast, not automatically a guaranteed delivery date. Customs inspection, weekends and holidays, incomplete addresses, remote destinations, transport disruption, peak volumes and partner handoffs can create gaps between scans.

Common Tracking Problems and Solutions

Problem or statusCheck first and immediate action
Invalid numberRemove spaces, verify the two-letter and nine-number structure where applicable, and ask the sender to confirm the label identifier.
No tracking eventsA label or electronic pre-advice may exist before physical acceptance. Confirm posting with the sender and retry the official page later.
Long gap or stuck in transitReview the last physical location and whether the item is in customs or international exchange; the sender should open the appropriate inquiry when the service rules permit.
Customs observationCheck the destination customs notice, requested documents and taxes. Do not interpret arrival in a country as customs release.
Address or delivery failureContact the relevant Serpost office or destination operator quickly. Serpost Delivery provides one attempt and returns an undelivered item to the Los Cabos temporary warehouse.
Delivered but not receivedCheck the delivery location, household members, reception desk and neighbours; request proof of delivery where available and ask the sender to start the postal inquiry.
Lost or damagedKeep packaging and contents, preserve receipts and value evidence, and have the sender contact Serpost through the official complaints channel.

International Shipping and Customs

For an international postal item, responsibility can move from the origin postal operator to Serpost, customs authorities and the destination postal operator. A destination-country arrival event is not the same as customs release.

StageWhat the event means
Posting and acceptanceThe origin postal operator or Serpost records the item; label creation alone is not proof of physical acceptance.
Export processingThe postal item is sorted and prepared for international dispatch; scan visibility can pause between facilities.
Export customs or securityAuthorities may examine export documentation or contents before dispatch.
International transportThe item moves between postal networks; a lack of scans does not by itself prove loss.
Destination arrival and customsThe destination authority may assess declarations, restrictions, documents or taxes.
Partner handoff and last mileThe destination postal operator may receive and deliver the item. A partner event indicates a network stage, not necessarily a Serpost acceptance scan.

Delivery Management

OptionEligibility and action
Serpost Delivery home serviceAvailable for qualifying items over 2 kg and/or items that passed customs clearance, within listed Lima Metropolitana districts. Request through WhatsApp 939356938 and provide the origin number or arrival notice.
Collection after failed attemptSerpost states that an undelivered Serpost Delivery item returns to the Los Cabos temporary warehouse for recipient collection; a new home-delivery request may be made.
Different delivery addressIf the address differs from the shipment address, Serpost states that the named holder must receive the shipment, not an authorised representative.

Claims and Refunds

A tracking inquiry, a postal investigation, an insurance claim, a postage refund and a marketplace refund are separate processes. The sender should normally preserve the receipt, shipment number, contents description, declared value and packaging, then use Serpost’s official complaints and enquiries channel for the applicable procedure.

ProcessUse and responsible party
Tracking enquiryUse when an event needs clarification; provide the shipment number and latest scan to Serpost or the relevant destination operator.
Loss or damage complaintThe sender should contact Serpost with posting evidence, contents and value evidence; applicable service conditions determine the outcome.
Marketplace refundThe seller or marketplace decides commercial refunds; 17TRACK cannot approve or pay them.

Shipping Restrictions

Serpost provides a dedicated official area for prohibited and restricted shipments. Customers should check the current rules before posting because customs, destination-country law and postal safety requirements can affect acceptance, transit and delivery.

CategoryPractical implication
Prohibited itemsItems listed as prohibited may be refused or removed from transport and can create tracking or delivery exceptions.
Restricted itemsAcceptance may require conditions, documentation or destination-specific compliance; consult the current Serpost rules.
PackagingSerpost offers boxes, stretch film, tape and filling materials through listed offices; suitable packaging helps reduce damage risk.

The destination postal operator and customs authorities may handle later stages, while the original postal identifier can continue to display events.

16. Can a different person receive a Serpost Delivery shipment at another address?

When the requested address differs from the shipment address, Serpost states that the shipment holder must receive it rather than an authorised representative.

17. Does Serpost publish a public tracking API?

The supplied official Serpost pages publish an online tracking page but do not describe a current public tracking API; businesses should consult Serpost directly and use current 17TRACK documentation for multi-carrier API work.
