How PostEx Tracking Statuses Progress

PostEx carries parcels for online shops across Pakistan. Each parcel goes through the same main steps: booking, pickup, travel between cities, sorting in your city and delivery. Knowing what each status means helps you know when to expect your parcel and what to do if there is a problem.

This page is a quick table of statuses. For the full step-by-step story of what happens between scans, read our PostEx shipment journey guide.
