Joom order tracking
Joom is an online marketplace where independent sellers offer a wide range of products, from everyday essentials and fashion to electronics and hobby items. Shoppers value Joom for its variety, mobile-first shopping experience, frequent promotions, and access to cross-border deals. Because many orders are shipped internationally and may pass through multiple logistics partners, reliable tracking is essential: it helps you see where your parcel is, anticipate delivery, and act quickly if updates stall.
As a marketplace, Joom uses different carriers and service levels depending on the item and destination. That means your tracking timeline can vary between orders. The guide below explains how to track Joom orders step-by-step, where to find the tracking number, how international routes typically work, which tracking number formats you may encounter, and what common status updates mean—plus practical tips if your tracking doesn’t refresh.
How to track a Joom order?
Track via your Joom account
Sign in to your Joom account on the website.
Open your order list and select the order you want to track.
Click the logistics or tracking option (labels may vary by interface or country).
Review the latest events, the carrier name (if shown), the tracking number, and the estimated delivery window.
Track via the Joom app
Open the Joom app and go to Orders or My Orders.
Tap the relevant order to open logistics details.
Check the event timeline, any handoffs between carriers, and delivery preferences where available.
Track via the courier website
Identify the carrier listed in your Joom order details or shipping notification.
Visit the carrier’s official tracking page.
Enter the tracking number exactly as shown. You can usually omit spaces and dashes when searching.
If your parcel changes hands (for example, from a cross-border network to a local postal service), try tracking on both the original and the last-mile carrier sites.
Track via third-party tools (InstantParcels)
Copy the tracking number from your Joom order details or dispatch email.
Paste it into a universal parcel tracker to aggregate scans from multiple logistics partners—useful for multi-leg routes or when updates appear slowly.
For convenience, you can also track your package to auto-detect carriers and view an integrated timeline of events.
Where to find your Joom tracking number?
Order confirmation email
After checkout, you receive an order acknowledgment. A subsequent shipping or dispatch email typically includes a tracking link or the carrier reference, once available.
Order history page
Sign in to your Joom account, open the specific order, and look for a tracking or logistics section that displays the carrier name, a deep link to the carrier site, and the tracking number.
Shipping notification
Depending on your notification preferences, you may receive a push notification or SMS that includes a tracking button or the tracking ID.
Seller messages (marketplace)
Sellers may send the tracking number via in-app messages or order chat once they hand the parcel to a carrier. Availability and timing vary by seller and route.
Note
Your Joom order number is different from a carrier tracking number. To see scan events on a courier site or a universal tracker, use the carrier tracking ID shown in your order details or shipping email.
Tracking Joom international orders
Typical cross-border journey
Seller dispatch to a domestic carrier in the origin country.
Arrival at a sorting hub or consolidation warehouse for export handling.
Export customs processing and departure via linehaul (air or surface transport).
Arrival in the destination country and import customs clearance (where applicable).
Handoff to a local last-mile carrier for delivery, or routing to a pickup shop/locker.
Multiple tracking numbers are common
It’s normal for cross-border shipments to show more than one identifier (for example, an origin logistics ID plus a destination-country tracking number). Track each reference for complete visibility.
Customs and duties
Depending on item category/value and destination rules, duties or taxes may apply. During import processing, tracking may show messages like “customs clearance in progress,” “awaiting documentation,” or “released.”
Pickup points and lockers
In many countries, carriers offer delivery to parcel shops or lockers. Tracking typically indicates “available for pickup” and the hold period (varies by carrier).
Expected gaps in updates
Updates can pause during long transport segments or carrier handoffs. Visibility usually resumes after the next facility scan or once import processing completes.
Joom shipping options and delivery times
Service availability varies by country
At checkout, you may see economy, standard, or faster services depending on your address, the item, and carrier capacity. Availability and pricing can differ by region.
Estimated delivery windows
Estimated dates are often shown on product pages and during checkout, and repeated in order confirmations or dispatch emails. These are estimates and may adjust if a carrier reports a delay or an address issue.
What influences delivery time
Chosen service level and the performance of the involved carrier networks.
Destination distance and local delivery coverage.
Customs processing for cross-border shipments.
Seasonal peaks (for example, holidays and major promotions) and weather disruptions.
Remote or hard-to-reach areas, which can extend last-mile transit.
Tracking detail by service level
Faster services often include more granular scans and tighter delivery windows. Some economy options provide milestone-based tracking with fewer intermediate events.

Understanding Joom tracking status updates
Status | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
Order placed | Your order was received and is awaiting seller processing. | No action needed; watch for a dispatch/shipping notice. |
Processing/Picking | The seller or warehouse is preparing and packing your item. | Allow time for packing; tracking appears after label creation or first scan. |
Label created | A shipping label exists, but the carrier has not recorded the first physical scan. | Initial updates may take time to appear, especially during peak seasons. |
Picked up by carrier | The parcel has been collected from the seller or warehouse. | Expect arrival at a sorting hub and subsequent departure scans. |
Arrived at sorting facility | The parcel reached a hub or depot for processing. | No action needed; look for “Departed” or “Transferred” next. |
Departed facility | The parcel left a hub and is en route to the next facility or region. | Monitor the estimated delivery window as it refines. |
At consolidation/forwarding warehouse | The parcel is staged for export handling or grouped with other shipments. | Consolidation may add handling time; updates typically follow export processing. |
Export customs clearance | The shipment is undergoing export checks in the origin country. | No action required unless the carrier requests documentation. |
Departed origin country | The parcel has left the origin country via linehaul. | Expect limited scans until arrival in the destination country. |
Arrived in destination country/region | The parcel entered the destination network. | Watch for import processing and local carrier handoff. |
Customs clearance in progress | The shipment is under import inspection (if applicable). | Provide any requested documents or payment to the carrier promptly. |
Released from customs | Customs has cleared the parcel for delivery. | Next events typically include local depot arrival and routing. |
At local delivery depot | The parcel is staged at a nearby facility for last-mile delivery. | Delivery often follows after routing; ensure access and delivery details are correct. |
Out for delivery | A driver has your parcel and will attempt delivery today. | Be available or use delivery options (where offered) to adjust preferences. |
Available for pickup | Your parcel is ready at a pickup point, shop, or locker. | Collect within the hold period; bring the required code or ID. |
Delivery attempted | The courier attempted delivery but could not complete it. | Follow instructions to reschedule, provide access details, or collect from a pickup location. |
Delivered | The parcel was delivered to your address, safe place, or pickup point. | If you cannot find it, check delivery notes/photos and ask neighbors or building staff. |
Address issue | The carrier flagged an incomplete or incorrect address. | Contact the carrier promptly to correct details; update your account if needed. |
Delay in transit | Unexpected events (weather, volume, route changes) are causing a delay. | Allow extra time and watch for the next scan; escalate if delays persist. |
Returned to sender | The parcel is being returned (for example, repeated failed attempts or import refusal). | Contact the seller through your order to discuss replacement or refund options. |
Why is my Joom tracking not updating?
Pre-scan period A label was created but the first physical scan has not occurred yet.
Carrier handoffs Visibility can pause as shipments transfer between networks or to a last-mile courier.
Long linehaul segments Fewer scans occur while the parcel travels between distant hubs or countries.
Customs processing Import checks may temporarily hold a shipment until released.
Batch data uploads Some carriers post scans in batches, so events appear after movement happened.
Peak seasons Major sales and holidays can slow handling and status reporting.
Weather or access issues Severe weather or building access constraints can delay attempts and updates.
Limited-visibility services Certain economy methods provide milestone-only tracking.
Relabeling mid-route A new local tracking number may be created; check your order for additional references.
Address discrepancies An incomplete or incorrect address can stall movement until corrected.
Tips for tracking Joom orders more effectively
Start with your Joom tracker It typically shows the most relevant carrier link and the current delivery estimate.
Copy the full tracking ID Enter the number exactly as displayed; most carrier sites accept IDs without spaces.
Track every reference If a new domestic or last-mile number appears, monitor both the original and the local IDs.
Enable notifications App, email, and SMS alerts help you catch delivery attempts and pickup availability.
Watch key milestones Dispatched, Destination arrival, Out for delivery, Delivered. If a stage stalls unusually long, contact the seller or carrier.
Consider pickup options Lockers and pickup shops (where available) reduce missed deliveries and offer flexible collection times.
Verify address and access details Include unit numbers, landmarks, and gate codes to prevent “address issue” delays.
Plan around peak events During major sales and holidays, allow extra time and follow updates closely.
Keep proof Save screenshots of tracking timelines and delivery notes, especially for higher-value items or support requests.
Know your protection windows If a shipment appears lost or significantly delayed, act within applicable buyer protection timelines in your account.
How sellers use Joom tracking
Marketplace model
Independent sellers choose carriers and service levels based on item category, destination, and cost. This is why tracking cadence and speed can vary between orders.
Consolidation and export
For cross-border routes, parcels may be consolidated at a forwarding warehouse prior to export. Consolidation can add handling steps but may streamline international transit.
Proof of movement and delivery
Tracking provides evidence of pickup, transit progress, and delivery attempts, which supports customer service, claims, and dispute resolution.
Carrier selection
Express services generally include more frequent scans and narrower delivery windows; economy methods often provide milestone-only tracking.
Communication
Order updates and dispatch messages share tracking numbers, estimated delivery dates, and delivery options like pickup points (availability varies by market).
Service recovery
If issues arise (for example, address problems, failed delivery attempts, or returns in transit), tracking data helps sellers and support teams investigate and propose alternatives such as rescheduling, rerouting to a pickup point, or initiating a return where appropriate.
Returns and tracking on Joom
Initiate a return
Begin the process from your order details and follow the platform prompts. Eligibility, timelines, and return methods may vary by item and destination.
Labels and instructions
Depending on the arrangement, you might receive a return label or be asked to arrange postage yourself. Instructions differ by route (domestic vs. international) and carrier.
Track the return
Always keep the return receipt and tracking number. Use the carrier’s tracking page (or your account view when integrated) to confirm acceptance, transit, and receipt at the warehouse.
Processing and refunds
Refund timing varies by distance, carrier speed, warehouse workload, and payment method. International returns may require additional time due to customs handling.
Documentation
Retain proof of postage, photos of the item’s condition, and relevant messages until your refund is finalized, particularly for higher-value returns.
Exchanges and replacements
Options depend on policies and stock availability. In some cases, placing a new order after a refund may be required.
