Global Tracking

What is global tracking?

Global tracking is the ability to track parcel and package shipments worldwide. However, as the shipping process becomes increasingly complex, and competitors, EMS (such as China Post EMS) services and national posts look to expand their international shipping and delivery options, tracking has also become more complicated. This has given rise to third-party, independent shipment tracking tools within the market. While many of these boast tracking capabilities, Ship24 is recognized as one of the market leaders for global shipment tracking, because of the superior functionality of its universal tracking system.

Whether you want to global tracking on your parcel as a buyer, seller, or logistics company, we deliver second-to-none package tracking to meet your needs.

What is Ship24 global tracking?

Ship24 is a multi-courier, shipment tracking solution specializing in true end-to-end tracking functionality for individuals and businesses. Our niche value proposition came about because of the difficulty people were facing in tracking their packages globally. As eCommerce and globalization continues to interlink cross-border trade, shipping and logistics companies have had to adapt their services to meet the growing demand for safe and speedy parcel delivery. This has led to many marketplaces and online shops recommending or choosing specific global parcel delivery services which can deliver reliable, global shipment delivery and tracking. However, while many parcel delivery companies offer international shipping, parcel delivery is often subcontracted or outsourced to other companies for forwarding or final (last leg) delivery.

For instance, 4PX is a well-known shipment forwarding company in China that uses partnerships with other major couriers outside of China - such as DHL in Europe or FedEx in North America - to deliver their parcels once they leave mainland China. In some cases, this can mean that individuals and businesses wanting to track their parcels can be left either without adequate tracking information once the parcel has been handed over or having to switch their global tracking to a new courier once a handover has taken place. Ship24's multi-courier, global tracking capability solves this issue, as users can find all their global tracking needs in one place. Ship24's global tracking capability means that users don't need to keep up to date with who their parcel is going to be, or has been, handed over to. With the original tracking number provided to them - and nothing else - users can continue tracking their parcel worldwide. This is why Ship24 continues to be the preferred option for true end-to-end global tracking.
