Track & Trace

General Tracking Information

Why can’t I track my parcel directly on your website?

Spring GDS serves business customers shipping abroad and often handles only part of the delivery process. As a result, we may be unable to locate a parcel when it is with a different shipping partner. For the most accurate tracking information, please check the tracking details provided by the seller or use a universal tracking service like 17track. Please note that once the parcel enters your country, it is often handed over to your local postal service (e.g., USPS, Royal Mail, Correos).

How do I find the tracking information for my order?

You can find the tracking information in the confirmation email from the seller or on the seller's website. If you can't find it, please reach out to the seller directly. Look for a barcode number often starting with two letters and ending with two letters (e.g., LZ12345678NL).

Who should I contact to track my parcel?

For tracking updates, it's best to get in touch with the seller from whom you purchased the item. They can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information. Spring GDS cannot discuss specific shipment details directly with consumers due to data privacy and contractual obligations with the seller.

What details do I need to track my parcel?

You will need the tracking number provided by the seller. This number is usually included in the shipping confirmation email. Order numbers (e.g., #1055) usually do not work in courier tracking systems; ensure you are using the specific carrier tracking ID.

I haven’t received my tracking number. What should I do?

If you haven't received a tracking number, please contact the seller. They can provide you with the necessary tracking details. Check your spam folder first. Also, be aware that some economy shipping options are untracked and will not generate a tracking number.

Why does my parcel tracking show multiple carriers?

Your parcel may be handled by multiple carriers during its journey. This is common for international shipments and helps ensure efficient delivery. Spring GDS manages the international leg, while a local partner manages the final delivery to your doorstep.

Tracking Issues

What should I do if the tracking information provided by the seller isn’t working?

If the tracking information isn't working, please verify it with the seller. They can check the tracking number and provide further guidance. Please allow 24-48 hours after receiving the number for the first scan to appear in the system.

My parcel seems delayed. What should I do?

If your parcel is delayed, please check the tracking information for any updates. If there are no updates, contacting the seller for further assistance is recommended. International shipments often pause at "Customs Clearing" for several days; this is a normal government process and not a carrier delay.

The tracking status hasn't been updated for several days. What does this mean?

Sometimes tracking statuses may not update immediately. If there is no update for several days, please get in touch with the seller for more information. If the status says "In Transit" or "Departed Country of Origin," the package is likely traveling via air or sea, where no scans occur until arrival.

What do different tracking statuses mean (e.g., in transit, pending, delivered)?

In transit means your parcel is on its way. Pending means there might be a delay or the parcel is being processed. Delivered means the parcel has been delivered to the address provided. "Failed Attempt" means the carrier tried to deliver but no one was home; check for a collection slip.

Delivery Problems

I received a message that my parcel was delivered, but I haven’t received it. What should I do?

If you received a delivery confirmation but haven't received your parcel, please check with your neighbors or contact the seller for assistance. Also, check "safe places" like porches or garages, and verify if a receptionist accepted it. Sometimes carriers mark items "Delivered" up to 24 hours before actual arrival.

What should I do if my parcel is lost or damaged?

If your parcel is lost or damaged, please report the issue to the seller immediately to seek a resolution. Please take photos of any damaged packaging immediately, as the seller will need these to file a claim with us.

My parcel was returned to the sender. What happens now?

If your parcel was returned to the sender, please contact the seller to arrange for reshipment or a refund. Common reasons include "Incorrect Address" or "Unclaimed" after the holding period. We cannot reverse a return once it is initiated.

What should I do if I missed the delivery attempt?

If you missed a delivery attempt, the carrier will usually leave a notice with instructions on how to reschedule or collect your parcel. You may need to contact your local postal carrier directly to reschedule, as Spring GDS cannot control local redeliveries.

Customs and Fees

Are there additional fees or customs duties I need to pay upon delivery?

Depending on the destination, there may be additional customs duties or fees. Please check with the seller or your local customs office for more information. These fees are government taxes and are not included in the shipping costs paid to Spring GDS.

What happens if my parcel is held at customs?

If your parcel is held at customs, you may need to provide additional information or pay duties. Please contact the seller or your local customs office for guidance. Watch your email or SMS for contact from the customs broker requesting an invoice or identification.

Delivery Management

Can I request to change the delivery address or time?

Changes to the delivery address or time can usually be requested through the seller or the carrier handling the delivery. Note that once a parcel is in transit, address changes are often impossible due to security protocols.

Can I collect my parcel from a specific location?

Depending on the carrier, you may be able to collect your parcel from a designated location. Please check the tracking information or contact the carrier for details. This option is managed by your local "Last Mile" carrier (e.g., your national post office), not Spring GDS.

Shipping Confirmation

How can I confirm that my order has been shipped?

You can confirm shipment by checking the shipping confirmation email from the seller, which usually includes tracking information. A status of "Data Received" or "Label Created" means the seller has booked the shipment but has not yet handed the parcel to us.

Additional Support

How do I report an issue with the delivery service?

To report an issue with the delivery service, please contact the seller. They can assist you in resolving the issue with the carrier. As the account holder, the seller has the direct line of communication to open official investigations with Spring GDS.

Who should I contact for further assistance if my issue isn’t resolved?

If your issue isn't resolved, please contact the seller for further assistance. They can help you navigate the next steps. You may also consult the FAQ section of the local delivery partner identified in your tracking history for destination-specific issues.
