Zalora order tracking
ZALORA is a fashion and lifestyle e‑commerce platform serving multiple Southeast Asian markets and select territories. Shoppers choose ZALORA for its wide assortment of apparel, footwear, accessories, beauty, and home products; frequent promotions; app‑first experience; and streamlined delivery and returns in many countries. Robust parcel tracking is central to that experience, helping you see each handoff across carriers, anticipate delivery, and act early if an issue appears.
Because ZALORA operates across countries and partners with different logistics networks, your tracking view can vary by market, item, service level, and carrier. The guide below explains how to track your order step‑by‑step, where to find the tracking number, what common statuses mean, how cross‑border routes work, and the practical steps to take if updates stop.
How to track a Zalora order?
Track via ZALORA account
Sign in to your ZALORA account on the website.
Open your order list or Order History.
Select the order you want to follow, then choose the tracking option such as Track or View delivery status (labels may vary by country interface).
Review the latest events, the estimated delivery window, and any carrier name and tracking number displayed.
Track via the ZALORA app
Open the ZALORA app and go to Orders or My Orders.
Tap the relevant order and then tap Track.
Check the timeline of checkpoints and any delivery preferences or pickup options offered by the carrier, if available in your market.
Track via the courier website
Identify the courier shown in your order details or shipping notification. The carrier can differ by destination and service level.
Visit the courier’s official tracking page.
Paste your tracking number exactly as displayed. You can usually omit spaces or dashes when searching.
If the parcel is handed off to a local last‑mile partner, track on both the original and the new local carrier sites for the most complete view.
Track via third‑party tools
Copy the tracking number from your ZALORA order details or dispatch email.
Use a universal parcel tracker to consolidate scans across carriers, which is helpful for multi‑leg routes and when updates appear slowly.
You can also track your package to auto‑detect the carrier and view an integrated timeline of events.
Where to find your Zalora tracking number?
Order confirmation email
Shortly after checkout, you receive an acknowledgment email. A later dispatch or shipping email typically includes a tracking link or carrier reference when available.
Order history page
Sign in to your ZALORA account, open the relevant order, and look for a tracking section that lists the carrier, an external link, and the tracking number.
Shipping notification
Depending on your notification settings, ZALORA may send a push notification or SMS containing a tracking button or the tracking ID.
Seller messages (if marketplace/partner‑fulfilled applies)
Some orders are shipped by brand partners via ZALORA’s partner programs. In those cases, tracking may be shared by the partner and mirrored in your order panel after dispatch.
Important reminder
Your ZALORA order number is different from a carrier tracking number. To view scan events, use the carrier tracking ID shown in your order details or shipping email.
Tracking Zalora international orders
Typical cross‑border journey
International orders often move through origin picking and packing, export handling, linehaul (air or surface), import processing in the destination country, and handoff to a local courier for final delivery. Tracking commonly updates in batches around these handoffs.
Customs and duties
Depending on the destination and order contents, import checks and any duties or taxes handling may apply. You may see statuses like customs clearance in progress, awaiting documentation, or released when clearance completes.
Local relabeling
Some cross‑border services assign a new domestic tracking ID after arrival in the destination country. If multiple references appear in your order, try tracking each one to collect all events.
Pickup points and lockers
In certain countries, you can collect parcels from pickup points or lockers. Tracking typically indicates available for pickup and outlines the hold period (varies by carrier and market).
Normal gaps in visibility
Gaps between scans can occur during long transport segments or while systems synchronize between carriers. Visibility usually resumes after the next facility scan or customs release.
Zalora shipping options and delivery times
Options shown at checkout
Available services vary by country, address, and item. Many markets offer a standard delivery option and, in some locations, a faster or express service. Availability and cost are shown at checkout.
Estimated delivery windows
Estimated dates are displayed on product pages and during checkout, and are typically reiterated in order confirmations and shipping notifications. They are estimates and may adjust if a carrier reports a delay or an address issue.
What influences timelines
Destination distance and local delivery coverage.
Carrier network capacity and seasonal peaks (for example, holidays or major sales) that can slow handling and transit.
Customs processing for cross‑border orders, where applicable.
Remote or hard‑to‑reach areas that may add days to last‑mile delivery.
Address accuracy and delivery preferences that can affect successful first‑attempt delivery.
Tracking detail by service level
Faster services often provide more granular checkpoints and tighter delivery windows. Some economy options show milestone‑based tracking with fewer intermediate scans.

Understanding Zalora tracking status updates
Status | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
Order placed | Your order was received and queued for fulfillment. | No action needed; watch for a dispatch/ship notice. |
Processing/Picking | Items are being collected and packed by the warehouse or partner. | Allow time for packing; tracking appears after label creation or first scan. |
Label created | A label exists but the carrier has not performed the first physical scan. | Early scans may take time to appear; check back later. |
Picked up by carrier | The carrier collected the parcel from the warehouse or seller. | Expect the next update on arrival at or departure from a sorting facility. |
Arrived at sorting facility | The parcel reached a hub or depot for processing. | No action needed; it should proceed to the next facility after sorting. |
Departed sorting facility | The parcel left the hub and is en route to the next facility or region. | Monitor the estimated delivery window as it refines. |
In transit | The shipment is moving between facilities or countries. | Gaps can be normal on long linehaul segments; updates resume at the next scan. |
Arrived in destination country/region | The parcel entered the destination network. | Expect import processing and local carrier scans soon after. |
Customs clearance in progress | The shipment is undergoing import checks (if applicable). | Provide any requested documents or payment to the carrier promptly. |
Released from customs | Customs has cleared the parcel for final delivery. | Watch for local depot scans and last‑mile routing. |
At local delivery depot | The parcel is staged at a nearby facility for last‑mile delivery. | Delivery typically follows once routed to your area; ensure access and instructions are correct. |
Out for delivery | A driver has your parcel and will attempt delivery today. | Be available or adjust delivery preferences if options are offered. |
Available for pickup | Your parcel is ready at a pickup point, shop, or locker. | Bring the required code or ID and collect within the hold period. |
Delivery attempted | The courier attempted delivery but could not complete it. | Follow carrier instructions to reschedule, provide access details, or collect from a pickup point. |
Delivered | The parcel was delivered to your address, safe place, or pickup location. | If you cannot locate 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; inform support 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 sent back (for example, repeated failed attempts or import refusal). | Contact customer support to discuss a replacement or refund. |
Why is my Zalora tracking not updating?
Pre‑scan period: A label exists, but the first physical scan has not yet occurred.
Carrier handoffs: Updates can pause as a shipment transfers between networks or to a last‑mile courier.
Long linehaul segments: Fewer scans are typical while the parcel travels between distant hubs or countries.
Customs processing: Import checks can temporarily hold a shipment until released.
Batch data uploads: Some carriers upload scans in batches, causing events to appear after movement has occurred.
Peak periods: Major sales and holidays can slow both processing and status reporting.
Weather or access issues: Severe weather or building access constraints can delay attempts and updates.
Limited‑visibility services: Certain economy options provide milestone‑only tracking.
Address discrepancies: An incomplete or incorrect address may stall movement until corrected.
Relabeling: A new domestic tracking ID may appear mid‑route; check your order details for additional references.
Tips for tracking Zalora orders more effectively
Start with your ZALORA tracker: It usually provides the relevant carrier link and the most current delivery estimate for your order.
Copy the full tracking ID: Enter the number exactly as shown; most carrier sites accept IDs without spaces.
Track both IDs if relabeled: If a new local number appears, watch both the original and the local references for complete visibility.
Enable notifications: Email, app, and SMS alerts help you catch delivery attempts and pickup availability.
Monitor key milestones: Dispatched, Destination arrival, Out for delivery, Delivered. If a stage stalls unusually long for your area, contact support.
Consider pickup options: Where available, lockers and pickup points reduce missed deliveries and offer flexible collection times.
Verify address and access details: Complete unit numbers, landmarks, and gate codes improve first‑attempt success.
Plan for peak seasons: Around holidays or large sales, allow extra time and follow updates closely.
Keep proof of tracking: Save screenshots of timelines and delivery notes, especially for high‑value items or support requests.
Know your protection windows: If a parcel appears lost or excessively delayed, act within applicable buyer protection or dispute timelines.
How sellers use Zalora tracking
Retail‑fulfilled vs. partner‑fulfilled
Orders fulfilled by ZALORA use integrated logistics partners, with tracking surfaced in your account and notifications.
Some orders are shipped directly by brand partners through ZALORA’s programs. In those cases, the partner provides the tracking number, and update cadence may vary by carrier.
Carrier and service selection
Services are selected based on destination, speed, item category, and cost. Faster services typically include more granular scans; economy methods may provide milestone‑based tracking.
Proof of movement and delivery
Tracking helps confirm pickup, transit, and delivery attempts, supporting customer service, claims, and dispute resolution.
Customer communication
Dispatch emails and order updates share the tracking number, estimated delivery date, and any available delivery options such as pickup points or safe‑place preferences.
Service recovery
When issues arise (for example, address problems or returns in transit), tracking data helps support teams investigate and propose alternatives like rescheduling, rerouting, or initiating a return where appropriate.
Returns and tracking on Zalora
Initiate your return
Start the process from your account’s order details and follow the prompts for your country. Eligibility, methods, and timelines depend on market policies and item type.
Labels, QR codes, and drop‑off options
Depending on your location and chosen method, you may receive a printable label, a QR code for drop‑off, or a pickup option with a carrier or parcel shop.
Track the return
Keep the return receipt and tracking number. Use the carrier’s tracking page (or the integrated view in your account, where available) to confirm acceptance, transit, and warehouse receipt.
Processing and refunds
Refund timelines vary by distance, carrier speed, warehouse workload, and payment method. In some cases, refund initiation may occur after the first return scan; in others, after inspection.
Documentation
Retain proof of postage, photos of the item’s condition, and relevant correspondence until the refund is finalized.
Exchanges and replacements
Options depend on local policies and stock availability. In some markets, placing a new order after a refund may be required.
