How to track a parcel from Mexico
Paste the tracking number from your shipping email or receipt into the box above. The page compares it with the number formats used by Estafeta, FedEx, and UPS first, and only if none of those fit does it try every carrier it knows. Press Track (or Enter) and the carrier's own tracking page opens in a new tab with your number already filled in — the scans you see there come straight from the carrier, not from us.
If the number is not recognised, choose the carrier yourself from the list, or use “Track as international parcel”, which searches an aggregator that covers most postal services and couriers.
Tracking numbers in Mexico
Estafeta is one of Mexico's largest domestic couriers, and FedEx and UPS carry many cross-border shipments. When an international parcel is handed to a local courier for the final delivery, that courier may assign a new number — check the last scans on the original tracker for a hand-off message and the new number.
What each carrier's number looks like
These are format examples, not real parcels. Spaces are ignored, and upper or lower case does not matter.
| Carrier | Example format |
|---|---|
| Estafeta | 1234567890 |
| FedEx | 961234567890123456789012 |
| UPS | 1Z999AA10123456784 |
Reading an international postal number
Registered mail, EMS and tracked small packets sent through national postal services use one shared 13-character format: two letters, nine digits, then the two-letter code of the country where the item was posted. An item posted in Mexico ends in MX, as in RR123456785MX.
The first letter usually tells you the service — E for EMS, R for registered mail, C for parcels, and L for tracked letter-post packets. The last of the nine digits is a check digit, so one mistyped digit usually makes the whole number invalid. The same number normally keeps working after the parcel crosses the border, on the destination country's postal website.
When the tracking stops updating
The delivery times shown above (2-5 business days within Mexico, 4-10 business days internationally) are typical ranges, not promises. International parcels often show no new scans for several days between leaving the origin country and arriving at customs in the destination; that gap is normal. If nothing changes for well beyond the upper end of the range, contact the sender first — they hold the shipping contract and can open an investigation with the carrier.
FAQs about shipping from Mexico
Why isn't Correos de México on this page?▾
Correos de México (SEPOMEX) exists but is rarely used for e-commerce — its tracking is unreliable and most sellers use Estafeta, FedEx, or UPS instead, including for cross-border returns to the U.S. If you do receive a Correos de México shipment, expect minimal scan visibility.
Will my package clear customs faster under USMCA?▾
For shipments from the U.S. or Canada under USD 117 (the de minimis threshold, in effect from 2020), no duties apply and customs clearance is typically same-day at the border crossing. Above $117 to $1,000, simplified entry plus IVA (16%) applies. Above $1,000, formal entry with a customs broker is required and adds 1-3 days.
What does "En camino a la sucursal de destino" mean on Estafeta?▾
"En camino a la sucursal de destino" means the parcel is en route from the regional hub to the local Estafeta branch that serves your address. Delivery typically follows within 1-2 business days. If you're not home, the parcel waits at the sucursal for 5 working days for self-pickup with ID.
