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

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