DPD shipment tracking: how it works

The tracking of the parcel service DPD is very precise and it is also fun to follow the approach of the parcel online or via app. At DPD you will not only find out the day and the approximate delivery time. On the day of delivery, you can virtually accompany the parcel deliverer to your front door.

DPD: This is how shipment tracking works

After you have received the package number from your online retailer, you know that the order is approaching. You can vividly track where your parcel is located at DPD. On the website of the parcel service provider you will find a function for shipment tracking that informs you at regular intervals about the current location of your parcel.

1. Go to the DPD website. Then make sure that the "Package tracking" tab is selected.
2. Enter the number of your parcel label in the "Parcel label number" field or your reference number in the "Parcel reference" field.
3. Start the search by clicking on the magnifying glass on the right. Now you can see which dispatch process your package is currently in.
4. On the day of delivery, you will be shown relatively precisely how many households the driver is driving to before he rings your doorbell.

Track parcel delivery via app

Consignment tracking also works via smartphone with the appropriate app from DPD.

• You can of course get the practical app for your Android smartphone free of charge from the parcel service. If you have to leave the house again, you will see immediately when you should return to take your package personally.
• The iPhone version of the DPD app, which is also free, can be found in the AppStore.
• To track a package with the app, follow the steps above. The app is identical to the DPD website (see picture).
