Question :

I have ordered a package from the UK, but I’m not living in the UK myself. But even though it’s an international shipment, the track&trace-code I got from DPD is a 10-digit code that is for use within the UK only. It does not work on the DPD website, nor in the multiple delivery service tracker-apps I use on my iPhone.

Is there any way to get the international DPD track&trace-code ?


Answer :

You might be able to contact DPD and ask for the international track&trace-code of course, but this DIY is probably more quickly and more convenient :

– the basic DPD track&trace-number consist of 10 digits : e.g. 9876543210
– you can get the international track&trace-code by putting 4 digits in front of the 10-digit basic number : e.g. XXXX9876543210
– if your package is shipped from the UK, you will probably need to replace XXXX by 1550
– if replacing XXXX by 1550 does not work, try replacing XXXX by any off these numbers :
–> 0522
–> 0101
–> 0522
–> 0521
–> 0132
–> 1597
–> 0166
–> 9999
–> 0998
–> 1602
–> 0001
–> 1726
–> 0192
– as DPD does nu publish which code is which, just start out by replacing XXXX by the upper number of the above list and work your way down until it works…

That’s it !

enjoy 😉
