What is Priority Express Tracking?

Priority Express Tracking refers to the shipment visibility capability provided by Priority Express Couriers, allowing customers to monitor their parcels from collection to final delivery. This system is integrated with the APC PinPoint technology, which provides minute-by-minute updates for overnight deliveries across the UK.

The Tool offers detailed event updates such as “Out for Delivery,” “Arrived at Hub,” and “Delivered.” By entering your unique Consignment Number and the Delivery Postcode in our tracking tool, users can access granular data including the driver’s name and a two-hour delivery window.

Consignment Number: The primary tracking code assigned to your shipment. It is typically a 7-digit numeric code (e.g., 1234567) found on the shipping label or booking confirmation.
Delivery Postcode: For security and verification, you must also provide the destination postcode to retrieve tracking details.

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

APC Format: A 7-digit number (e.g., 3051234) often used for UK overnight parcels moving through the APC network.
Job Reference: In some cases, a unique job reference number provided by the booking team may be used for same-day or specialized local deliveries.
