DPD shipment tracking: How it works

The DPD parcel service’s shipment tracking is very accurate. Not only can you find out the approximate delivery time on the homepage or in the app, you can also track the delivery driver virtually to your front door on the day of delivery.

DPD shipment tracking – what you need to know

With DPD, shipment tracking is usually possible from the moment you receive the parcel number. In this respect, DPD’s shipment tracking is no different from that of other parcel delivery companies. What is much more exciting, however, is tracking the parcel itself.

• As soon as the DPD parcel delivery service has placed your parcel in their vehicle, you can track where the vehicle is currently located. On the parcel service provider’s website, you will find a page for tracking shipments, which provides you with regular updates on the current status of your parcel.

• Once you have opened the relevant DPD website, enter your parcel number in the “Parcel number” field. Alternatively, enter the reference number of your parcel in the “Parcel reference” field.

• Start the search by clicking on the magnifying glass on the right. You will then be shown the current processing status of your parcel.

• On the day of delivery, you will then be shown the route of the vehicle with relative accuracy. You can see how many households the driver still has to visit before he rings your doorbell.

Track parcel delivery via app

You can also track your shipment using the DPD app, so you can stay up to date while on the go.

• Both the handy app for Android and the app for iOS are available free of charge from the parcel service.

• Once you have installed the app, you can track your parcel just as easily as on the DPD website.

• You can track your parcel with the DPD app. This means you always know where your parcel is and when it is expected to arrive. When delivery is imminent, DPD will give you a 30-minute time window. This feature is particularly helpful if you want to make sure you are at home at the right time.

• The app allows you to set personal delivery preferences. This includes selecting a preferred parcel shop for pickup, giving permission for secure drop-off locations, deciding to have the parcel delivered to a neighbor, and changing the delivery date.

• You can manage both shipping and returns directly. The app generates mobile parcel slips, allowing you to avoid tedious paperwork and handle everything digitally. This saves time and makes the process more efficient.

• Your data is synchronized across different devices, so you are always up to date, whether you are using your smartphone or tablet. This ensures a consistent user experience and guarantees that you have access to your information at all times.

• The app sends you push notifications about the parcel status. You will be informed immediately if the status of your parcel changes.
