What is the best way to track a La Poste parcel?
There are two ways to track your La Poste parcels. Firstly, you can head over to La Poste's website and from there you can enter your tracking number. Secondly, you can use Ship24's universal tracking for fast, convenient, and efficient parcel tracking.
Once you are on La Poste's website, you will be given two options to track your parcels. The options are individual tracking or professional tracking.
If you chose the "individual tracking option", you can input your tracking number in the search bar and press search to track the parcels. The only inconvenience is if your parcel is outsourced to another courier, which can sometimes happen on international shipping. When this happens, up-to-date information may not be available or is delayed.
If you chose the "professional tracking option", you can track several La Poste tracking numbers all at one search. While this is very convenient, you would have to separate each tracking number by a semi-colon. This could be very time-consuming.
Ship24 gives you the option to track your parcels in a short amount of time within a few seconds. Whether it is one parcel or many, all you have to do is copy the La Poste tracking number, put it on the search bar, search for results and Ship24 will do its magic! You will also be able to find out all details about the parcel from the location it is on and the date it arrived/will arrive.
Ship24 also offers La Poste tracking API for advanced multi-courier tracking. It is perfect for your business since it can determine which parcel or package is being handled by any courier using the original tracking number. In other words, if your package is with La Poste or another courier, Ship24 is able to provide you with that information. Incorporate your system with Ship24's tracking API to improve your tracking potential.
How long does it take for La Poste to deliver?
