Track Amazon package - how it works

You can track your Amazon packages either on the Amazon homepage or on the go using the iPhone or Android app. We explain both methods of packet flying.

Parcel tracking on the Amazon website

To track a shipment by computer, simply use the Amazon homepage:

1. Go to amazon.de and log in with your account.
2. Move your mouse over "My Account" in the top right corner and click on "My Orders".
3. Scroll to the item you are looking for and click on the yellow button "Track delivery" on the right.
4. A new field opens above the product view, in which you can see the current status.
5. If you click on the "Complete overview of your deliveries" link, you will see all the stages that your order has already gone through.

Shipment tracking via Amazon app

There is an Amazon app for both Android and iPhone. With the you can also see where your order is currently located. Package tracking works like this on iOS devices:

1. Download the Amazon app from the store.
2. Open the app and click on "More" at the bottom right and then on "Your orders".
3. Log in with your Amazon account.
4. Find the order you want to track and click the "View or change order" link.
5. Scroll down to the "Track Delivery" link and click on it.

Please note that the status of your order is only updated at regular, larger intervals. Real-time tracking is not possible. Part two of the tip relates to the Amazon app for iPhone version 2.3.2. The procedure may differ for other versions.
