What is the difference between my order ID and my tracking number?
An order ID is generated by the shop and only works inside that shop's account area. A tracking number is the UPU-format code (two letters, nine digits, RS) that postal systems read. If you only have an order ID, open your order page to find the carrier tracking number before searching.
