Tracking Your Order

David Woodward — Fri, 09 Jun 2017 18:01:00 GMT

Some shippers provide tracking numbers that help ensure the safe arrival of your package. Packages with tracking numbers are scanned at each checkpoint on their journey, allowing the packages to be tracked as they move through the shipper's system to their destination. If an issue arises with a package, the location is readily identified and makes the chances of recovery more likely. If tracking data does not show for your order and the estimated ship time has not yet passed, there is no need to panic. In times of high package volume a shipment won't be scanned until it reaches a regional hub near the destination.

Can I track US Mail deliveries?

Lulu's standard US Mail option is actually a hybrid service called FedEx SmartPost.

How does this system work?

FedEx picks up your package from our US printer's location and then delivers it to the US Postal Service sorting facility nearest the shipping address. The US Postal Service then delivers the package to the local address.

These packages can be tracked from the FedEx SmartPost site.

Note: There may be a 24 hour delay between the time you receive your shipping notification and the time your package is scanned into the FedEx tracking system. Tracking is not yet available for international shipments originating from the USA using this system.

What are Delivery Confirmation Numbers?

Some shippers only offer Delivery Confirmation numbers. Delivery Confirmation gives the date, zip code and the time the package was delivered. If delivery was attempted, the date and time of attempted delivery will be given. There is no capability to determine where your package is at a given time in its movement to you. Packages with Delivery Confirmation do not get scanned at each checkpoint on their journey like a tracking number, making it impossible to locate a package that may have gone astray.
