What is PTT Posta Tracking?

PTT Posta Tracking is a shipment monitoring service that collects scan data from across Turkey’s postal network, from acceptance to final delivery routes. Our tracking tool shows key updates such as “Kabul Edildi” (Accepted), “Sevk Edildi” (Dispatched), and “Teslim Edildi” (Delivered).

Our PTT Posta tracking tool is especially important for international shipments, allowing users to see when items reach the Istanbul PIM and if they are “Gümrükte” (In Customs).

PTT Tracking Number

To access your shipment data, you need the specific reference code associated with your waybill. Our PTT Posta tracking tool relies on these standard identifiers used in their network:

Barkod Numarası: A domestic barcode number used for parcels and cargo, often a long numeric string or following the UPU format.
Turpex ID: Specific tracking codes for PTT’s premium international express service.

PTT Tracking Number Formats

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

Standard Format: Two letters, followed by 9 digits, and ending with TR (e.g., AA123456789TR).
Domestic Cargo: Often a 13-digit numeric code used for domestic shipments.
Registered Mail: Starts with R (e.g., RA123456789TR).

About PTT (Turkish Post)

Posta ve Telgraf Teşkilatı (PTT) is a cornerstone of Turkish infrastructure, headquartered in Ankara. With over 180 years of history, it has transformed from a traditional mail carrier into a modern logistics and financial powerhouse (PTT Bank). The organization operates thousands of branches (“PTT Merkez” and “Şube”) across all 81 provinces, ensuring that even the most remote villages in Anatolia remain connected.

In recent years, PTT has launched services like Turpex to compete with global couriers like DHL and FedEx, offering rapid international delivery. They have also introduced Kargomat (parcel lockers) to facilitate 24/7 pickups. Despite these modernizations, PTT remains a state-owned enterprise with a mandate to provide affordable, universal service, making it the most cost-effective option for shipping within Turkey and abroad.
