Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my South African Post Office tracking number?
It is in the shipping confirmation email or SMS from the sender, on your receipt, or printed under the barcode on the shipping label.
My South African Post Office number shows "not found". What now?
New numbers often appear in the carrier's system only after the parcel is first scanned, which can take 24-48 hours after the label is created. Check that the number has no extra spaces or missing characters, and try again later.
Is this the official South African Post Office website?
No. TrackandTrace.com is an independent tracking directory. We detect the carrier and send you to the official tracking result on trackingnew.postoffice.co.za.
