Understanding shipment delivery statuses
Delivery statuses help you and your customers stay informed about where an order is during its shipping journey. Synctrack automatically tracks each shipment and updates its status in real time based on information from the shipping carrier.
Here’s what each delivery status means in Synctrack:
No tracking updates for 30 days (express) or 60 days (postal); tracking ends.
|
A Pending status means no tracking data has been provided by the carrier yet. This is common right after a label is created or an order is just handed over.
What Synctrack does:
We automatically re-check for updates every 5 hours, so you don’t have to refresh manually.
If a shipment stays Pending for too long:
Double-check the tracking number for accuracy.
Contact the carrier directly to verify the shipment status.
Contact our support team if you want us to prioritize a specific shipment in our tracking queue.
If a shipment remains in Pending without any updates:
After 30 days (for express services), or
After 60 days (for postal services),
Synctrack will mark the shipment as Expired and stop tracking it. This helps keep your dashboard clean and focused on active shipments.

When does a shipment become “Expired”?
If a shipment remains in Pending without any updates:
After 30 days (for express services), or
After 60 days (for postal services),
Synctrack will mark the shipment as Expired and stop tracking it. This helps keep your dashboard clean and focused on active shipments.
