When there is an update regarding a tracking number, AfterShip automatically analyzes the tracking information and maps it to one of the corresponding statuses like “ In transit”, etc. In case of any discrepancies in tracking contact the support team at support@aftership.com.

Additional considerations



AfterShip shares tracking updates precisely to ensure that you can keep track of your shipments. But there are a few things you need to know to use AfterShip properly. Kindly keep the following details in mind.

You can check the tracking details for up to 120 days since you add the shipment to your AfterShip dashboard. After this period, the shipment will be removed automatically from your AfterShip admin
As per AfterShip's policy, we only fetch the tracking updates from the carrier if they are updated within 90 days. After 90 days, you must check tracking updates on the carrier's website.
