Australia Post tracking statuses explained
Not sure what your latest update means? Here's what the most common Australia Post tracking statuses tell you about where your parcel is and what happens next.
- Label created / pre-shipment
- Australia Post has the shipment details but hasn't physically scanned the parcel yet. It usually picks up and gets its first scan within a day.
- In transit
- Your parcel is moving between Australia Post sorting hubs and depots. This is the longest stage and can show the same update for a day or two between scans — that's normal.
- Out for delivery
- The parcel is loaded on the Australia Post delivery vehicle and is due to arrive today. Keep an eye out for a delivery window if Australia Post provides one.
- Delivered
- Australia Post has marked the parcel as delivered. If you can't see it, check around your door, with neighbours and household members, and allow a few hours, as the scan can post slightly early.
- Available for pickup
- The parcel is waiting at a Australia Post access point, locker or local office for you to collect — usually with ID or a collection code.
- Exception / delivery attempted
- Something interrupted delivery — nobody available, an address problem, or weather. Australia Post normally retries on the next working day or leaves collection instructions.
- Customs / held
- On international shipments the parcel is clearing customs or is held pending duties or paperwork. This can add several days and is outside Australia Post's direct control.

Why is my Australia Post parcel delayed or not updating?
Australia Post tracking only refreshes when the parcel is physically scanned, so it's normal for the status to sit unchanged for a day or two between facilities — especially over weekends, holidays and busy sale periods. A Australia Post parcel that looks “stuck in transit” is usually still moving; the next scan simply hasn't happened yet.
Common reasons for a Australia Post delay include high shipping volume, weather or transport disruptions, an incomplete or incorrect address, a missed delivery attempt, or customs clearance on international orders. If your Australia Post tracking hasn't updated for more than about five working days, or the estimated delivery date has clearly passed, contact Australia Post — or the seller you ordered from — with your tracking number to open an inquiry.
Australia Post tracking — FAQ
How do I track an Australia Post parcel?
Paste your AusPost tracking number above and tap Track to open the official Australia Post tracking page with your number filled in.
Why is my AusPost tracking stuck on “in transit”?
Parcels are scanned between facilities, so “in transit” can stay for a day or two — particularly interstate or during peak periods. Check the estimated delivery on the AusPost page.
Can I track my Australia Post parcel internationally?
Yes. International Australia Post shipments are tracked the same way — enter your number above. Once a parcel leaves the origin country, updates can be less frequent and may pause during customs clearance before scans resume in the destination country.
Australia Post says delivered but I haven't received it — what should I do?
First check around your property, with neighbours and any household members, and allow a few hours in case the scan posted early. If it's still missing, contact Australia Post (or the seller) to open an inquiry — keep your tracking number handy.
Can I change or redirect my Australia Post delivery?
Many Australia Post services let you redirect, reschedule or leave delivery instructions from their official tracking page or app, often once the parcel is out for its first scan. Options vary by service and country — look for “manage delivery” on the Australia Post page we open for you.
How long does Australia Post delivery take?
It depends on the service and destination. Your estimated delivery date appears on Australia Post's official tracking page once the parcel gets its first scan.
What do Australia Post tracking statuses mean?
Common statuses are “label created”, “in transit”, “out for delivery” and “delivered”. “In transit” means it's moving between facilities; “out for delivery” means it's on the vehicle for delivery today.
Why is my Australia Post package not updating or stuck?
Tracking updates only at each scan, so it can pause for a day or two between facilities, in transit, or during customs on international shipments. If it hasn't moved for several days, contact Australia Post.
Can I track a Australia Post package without a tracking number?
Usually not — a tracking number from your receipt or shipping-confirmation email is required. Some carriers also let you track by reference once you're signed in to their own account.
Is the Australia Post tracker free?
Yes — completely free with no sign-up. We simply open Australia Post's official tracking page with your number filled in.
Is this the official Australia Post website?
No. RunFreeTools is a free tool that recognises your tracking number and sends you to Australia Post's official tracking page, where the live status comes straight from Australia Post.
Does Australia Post tracking work on mobile?
Yes — it works in any browser on phones, tablets and desktops, with nothing to install.
