What is ParcelPoint Tracking?

ParcelPoint Tracking refers to the Track your parcel feature that follows shipments between the courier, the selected ParcelPoint store, and the customer. For pickups, it confirms when a parcel is dropped at the store and triggers the email or SMS with the collection code. For returns, it tracks the parcel from store handover to the retailer’s returns center.

By entering your Tracking Number in our ParcelPoint tracking tool, users can check when a parcel is Ready for Collection, view store location details, and confirm opening hours—helping avoid unnecessary trips and ensuring a smooth pickup.

ParcelPoint Tracking Number

To access your shipment data, you need the specific reference code generated during the booking or checkout process. Our tracking tool relies on these standard identifiers used in their network:

ParcelPoint ID: A unique code often starting with PF followed by digits (e.g., PF12345678), common for returns.
Consignment Number: The courier tracking number (e.g., from Fastway/Aramex or Toll) if the shipment is moving through their network to the store.
Retailer Order Number: Some integrations allow tracking via the original merchant’s order ID (e.g., THEICONIC-12345).

ParcelPoint Tracking Number Formats

Identifying the correct format is essential for getting accurate results with our tracking tool. ParcelPoint tracking numbers typically follow specific patterns:

Returns Label: Usually starts with R or PF followed by a sequence of 9 to 12 digits.
Collection Code: A shorter, often 6-digit code sent via SMS/Email (e.g., ABC-123) used for collecting the item, not tracking it remotely.

About ParcelPoint

Founded in 2011, ParcelPoint was established to modernize the “last mile” of delivery in Australia. Recognizing that standard 9-to-5 delivery windows didn’t fit the lifestyles of busy Australians, the founders built a network of trusted local businesses—newsagents, pharmacies, and convenience stores—that could act as community logistics hubs. Headquartered in Sydney, the company has grown to over 1,400 locations, ensuring that most Australians are within a short drive of a ParcelPoint location.

The service is distinct because it is platform-agnostic; it doesn’t own the vans but rather connects retailers, carriers, and local stores through smart software. This allows online shoppers to use ParcelPoint for deliveries from hundreds of different brands. Beyond convenience, ParcelPoint promotes sustainability by consolidating deliveries to a single commercial point rather than multiple failed attempts at residential addresses, reducing carbon emissions associated with last-mile logistics.

ParcelPoint Delivery Times

Delivery times shown in ParcelPoint Tracking results depend on the courier partner used for the transport leg. The network generally follows these timelines:

Returns to Retailer: Typically takes 2 to 5 business days for the courier to transport the item from the store back to the merchant’s warehouse.
Deliver to Store (Click & Collect): Standard shipping times apply (e.g., 1 to 4 days), but you avoid the delay of missed home delivery attempts.
