How to Track Your UMS Parcel

Tracking your shipment only takes a few steps.

Find your tracking number on the booking receipt or dispatch confirmation.
Enter the tracking number into the tracking box above.
Click Track.
View your parcel’s latest tracking status and delivery progress.

If the parcel was sent by someone else, ask the sender to share the tracking number.

UMS Tracking Number Format

Most Pakistan Post tracking numbers contain 13 characters.

Shipment Type	Example
UMS / Registered Mail	RP123456789PK
International Registered Mail	RR123456789PK
EMS	EA123456789PK

The first two letters identify the shipment type, while PK represents Pakistan.

Always compare the tracking number with your booking receipt before searching.

UMS Tracking Status Meanings

During delivery, your shipment may display one of the following tracking updates.

Status	Meaning
Item Accepted	Shipment has been accepted by Pakistan Post.
Item Dispatched	Parcel has left the booking office.
In Transit	Shipment is moving between processing centres.
Item at Customs	International shipment is being processed by customs.
Arrived at Delivery Office	Parcel has reached the destination office.
Out for Delivery	Shipment has been assigned for final delivery.
Item Delivered	Successfully delivered to the recipient.
Delivery Attempted	Delivery could not be completed.
Returned to Sender	Shipment is being returned to the sender.

Tracking updates are not always immediate. It is common for parcels to remain in In Transit status while moving between postal facilities.

Estimated UMS Delivery Time

Delivery times depend on the service used, destination, and operational conditions.

Domestic UMS

Same city: 1–3 working days
Major cities: 2–5 working days

Common UMS Tracking Problems

Tracking Number Not Found

Possible reasons include:

Incorrect tracking number.
Parcel booked recently.
First tracking scan not yet available.

Wait up to 24–48 hours after booking before checking again.

Tracking Status Not Updating

Tracking updates may pause while parcels travel between sorting centres or during customs processing.

If there has been no update for an extended period, contact the Pakistan Post office where the parcel was booked.

Delivery Attempted

If tracking shows Delivery Attempted, contact your nearest post office. The parcel may be waiting for collection.

Returned to Sender

A shipment may be returned because:

The delivery address was incomplete.
The recipient could not be contacted.
The parcel remained unclaimed.

The sender may need to arrange another delivery.

Can I Track Someone Else’s UMS Parcel?

Yes. Anyone with the tracking number can check the shipment status using the tracking tool above.

However, if a complaint or investigation is required, the sender may need to provide the original booking receipt when contacting Pakistan Post.

Tips for Faster Delivery

To help avoid delivery delays:

Write the complete recipient address.
Include the correct postal code.
Keep your booking receipt until delivery is completed.
Verify the tracking number before searching.
Check tracking every few days instead of expecting instant updates.
