Tracking status

“Electronic Notification Received”: what this tracking status means

An electronic notification or pre-advice means the sender has transmitted shipment data to the carrier ahead of handing over the parcel. PostNL describes its equivalent status as the sender having registered the parcel while PostNL has not yet received or sorted it. Like 'Label created', it does not confirm the carrier physically has the parcel.

What to do

  1. Treat it the same as 'Label created': wait for the first physical scan.
  2. Check the seller's dispatch timeframe.
  3. Contact the sender if no physical scan appears after the expected dispatch date.

When to contact the sender or carrier

Worry only if days pass after the promised dispatch date with no acceptance scan; then contact the sender, who controls handover to the carrier.
