DPD tracking statuses explained
Not sure what your latest update means? Here's what the most common DPD tracking statuses tell you about where your parcel is and what happens next.
- Label created / pre-shipment
- DPD 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 DPD 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 DPD delivery vehicle and is due to arrive today. Keep an eye out for a delivery window if DPD provides one.
- Delivered
- DPD 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 DPD 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. DPD 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 DPD's direct control.

Why is my DPD parcel delayed or not updating?
DPD 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 DPD parcel that looks “stuck in transit” is usually still moving; the next scan simply hasn't happened yet.
Common reasons for a DPD 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 DPD tracking hasn't updated for more than about five working days, or the estimated delivery date has clearly passed, contact DPD — or the seller you ordered from — with your tracking number to open an inquiry.
DPD tracking — FAQ
Can I track my DPD parcel internationally?
Yes. International DPD 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.
DPD 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 DPD (or the seller) to open an inquiry — keep your tracking number handy.
Can I change or redirect my DPD delivery?
Many DPD 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 DPD page we open for you.
How long does DPD delivery take?
It depends on the service and destination. Your estimated delivery date appears on DPD's official tracking page once the parcel gets its first scan.
What do DPD 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 DPD 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 DPD.
Can I track a DPD 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 DPD tracker free?
Yes — completely free with no sign-up. We simply open DPD's official tracking page with your number filled in.
Is this the official DPD website?
No. RunFreeTools is a free tool that recognises your tracking number and sends you to DPD's official tracking page, where the live status comes straight from DPD.
Does DPD tracking work on mobile?
Yes — it works in any browser on phones, tablets and desktops, with nothing to install.
