Deutsche Post shipment tracking - how it works

When does my package come? If you have posted a package at Deutsche Post, you will always know where it is thanks to the tracking system. In this tip we explain exactly how this works.

This is how shipment tracking works at DHL

• If you post a package at Deutsche Post, you will receive a printout with a tracking number. You need this if you want to track the shipment. This is not possible with a parcel.
• Deutsche Post AG sends your pact with its subsidiary DHL. At www.dhl.de you can enter the shipment number in the "Track shipments" field and click on "Find now".
• You will then receive an overview of when and where your package has been, where it is currently and which step is next.
• In the last step, the delivery, there is even the information "Will probably be delivered to the recipient today."
• The recipient must acknowledge receipt of the package. You will then see a confirmation in the shipment tracking that the package has been delivered.

You can also track your parcels on the go - using the DHL apps for iPhone and Android. In this practical tip, we will show you how to see where your Amazon packages stay.
