You've ordered something on Shopee, but your package is taking forever to arrive. The tracking status has been stuck on "In Transit" for days. Or maybe you received your item only to find it damaged.

For a complete overview of shopping on Shopee, check out our 2025 Complete Shopee Shopping Guide.

Complete Guide to Shopee Logistics Tracking

Method 1: Track via the Shopee App

Step 1: Open the Shopee App Log in to your account, then tap "Me" in the bottom-right corner → "To Receive" to see all outstanding orders.

Step 2: View logistics status Tap on an order and scroll down to the "Logistics Tracking" section, which shows the current status:

  • Pending Shipment: Seller hasn't shipped yet
  • Shipped: Seller handed the package to the courier
  • In Transit: Package is on its way
  • Ready for Pickup: Package has arrived at the convenience store or designated location
  • Delivered: Package has been signed for (home delivery) or picked up (convenience store)

Step 3: See full logistics history Tap "View Detailed Tracking" to see the complete logistics trail, including:

  • Shipping time and origin
  • Transfer hub records
  • Delivery person information (home delivery)
  • Estimated arrival time

This is the most convenient method — everything is integrated into the app, no need to visit courier websites separately.

Method 2: Track Using the Tracking Number

If the seller provides a tracking number, you can check directly on each courier's website:

7-Eleven / FamilyMart store-to-store:

T-CAT (Black Cat):

  • Go to T-CAT's website
  • Click "Track a Shipment"
  • Enter the 12-digit tracking number

HCT Logistics (Xinzhu):

  • Go to HCT's website
  • Click "Track a Shipment"
  • Enter the tracking number

Kerry TJ Logistics (嘉里大榮):

Method 3: SMS and Email Notifications

When there's an important status update (shipped, ready for pickup, delivered), Shopee sends automatic notifications:

  • App push notifications: Real-time (requires push notifications to be enabled)
  • SMS: Contains pickup code or delivery details
  • Email: Full logistics details

We recommend enabling all notification channels to ensure you never miss critical updates.

How to Handle Delayed Packages

Common Causes of Delays

Cause 1: Slow seller fulfillment Some sellers struggle to ship on time due to high order volume, insufficient staff, or inventory issues. If an order shows "Pending Shipment" for more than 3 days, the seller may be running behind.

Cause 2: Courier transit delays Especially for convenience store delivery (7-Eleven, FamilyMart), packages pass through multiple transfers where delays can occur at any stage. Typhoons, public holidays, and other special circumstances can also slow delivery.

Cause 3: Remote delivery address If you live in a remote area (such as an outlying island or mountain region), expect delivery to take 1–2 extra days compared to urban areas — this is normal.

Cause 4: Courier operational issues Internal system failures, human error, or overloaded parcel volumes can all delay packages.

Steps to Handle a Delay

Step 1: Confirm the package is actually delayed First check if it's genuinely late. Standard delivery times:

  • 7-Eleven / FamilyMart store-to-store: 2–3 days (excluding holidays)
  • T-CAT home delivery: 1–2 days (excluding holidays)
  • HCT Logistics: 2–3 days (excluding holidays)
  • Remote areas: Add 1–2 days

If the above timeframes have passed with no delivery, it qualifies as a delay.

Step 2: Contact the seller Use Shopee's "Chat" function to politely message the seller: "Hello, my order (Order #XXX) has passed the estimated delivery date. Could you please check the current status of my package?"

Most sellers will proactively look up the logistics progress or contact the courier to expedite delivery.

Step 3: Contact the courier directly If the seller can't provide a clear answer, call the courier directly:

  • T-CAT: 02-4128888 (Mon–Sat, 8:00 AM–6:00 PM)
  • HCT Logistics: 02-4128866 (Mon–Sat, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM)
  • Kerry TJ Logistics: 02-412-8999
  • 7-Eleven Logistics: 0800-008711
  • FamilyMart (store-to-store): 03-2550119 (Mon–Fri, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM); general customer service 0800-221-363

Provide the tracking number to find out where the package is and request expedited delivery.

Step 4: File a complaint with Shopee customer service If the estimated delivery date has clearly passed, you still haven't received the package, and contacting the seller got you nowhere, raise it with Shopee support or file a refund/return request directly in the system. (Shopee sets no "X days late" complaint threshold, and the estimated delivery date is only a system projection.)

  • Open the Shopee app → tap "Me" → "Help Center"
  • Choose "Order Issues" → "Logistics Delay"
  • Provide your order number, logistics screenshots, and chat history with the seller

Shopee will step in and the possible outcomes include:

  • Requiring the seller to reship
  • Approving a refund
  • Providing compensation (Shopee Coins or discount vouchers)

How to Handle Lost Packages

How to Tell If Your Package Is Lost

Situation 1: Tracking shows "Delivered" but you didn't receive it This could mean:

  • Convenience store pickup: The package arrived at the store but you haven't picked it up yet
  • Home delivery: The courier left it somewhere designated (e.g., management office, with a neighbor) without telling you
  • Mistakenly picked up: Someone else took the wrong package

Situation 2: Tracking status hasn't updated for a long time If "In Transit" hasn't changed for more than 7 days, the package may have been lost during transfer, or the courier's system hasn't updated (but the package is actually on its way).

Situation 3: Convenience store pickup expired and returned If you forgot to pick up your package, it will be returned to the seller once the pickup window expires. This isn't technically a lost package, but it does require separate handling. Pickup windows differ by shipping method:

  • Standard convenience store pickup (7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Hi-Life): 7 days from arrival at the store
  • Shopee store-to-store and FamilyMart frozen items: 5 days (counted from the arrival date, including that day)

Steps to Handle a Lost Package

Step 1: Confirm the package is truly lost

  • Convenience store: Visit the store in person to confirm the package isn't there
  • Home delivery: Check with the management office, neighbors, and family members
  • Track the shipment: Contact the courier to verify the package's location

Step 2: Notify the seller Message the seller via "Chat": "Hello, my order (Order #XXX) shows as delivered in the tracking, but I genuinely did not receive the package. Please help confirm whether it has been lost."

The seller will contact the courier to investigate. This typically takes 3–5 business days.

Step 3: Request a refund from Shopee If the investigation confirms the package was lost, apply for a refund:

  • Go to the order page → tap "Request Refund/Return"
  • Select reason "Did not receive item"
  • Upload evidence (logistics screenshots, chat history with seller)

According to Shopee's official guidance, the returns and refunds team will contact you or request supporting documents within 24 hours of your submission; how long the money takes to land depends on your original payment method. For detailed refund procedures, see our Complete Shopee Return & Refund Guide.

Step 4: Determining liability

  • Lost before seller ships: Seller's responsibility — must reship or refund
  • Lost during transit: Courier's responsibility — seller can seek compensation from courier
  • Lost on buyer's end (e.g., taken by a neighbor): Buyer's responsibility — harder to claim

What you can do as a buyer is file a refund/return request through Shopee's system and let Shopee mediate. Any claim between the seller and the courier is handled separately between those two parties — Shopee's official documentation doesn't set out a fixed liability rule here.

How to Handle Damaged Goods

Types of Damage

Type 1: Outer box damaged, product intact The most common scenario — usually caused by bumps or compression during transit. If the product itself is fine, your 7-day inspection period return rights are unaffected.

Type 2: Outer box intact, product damaged Could be poor seller packaging, a manufacturing defect, or internal collision during shipping. Photograph and document it, then contact the seller.

Type 3: Both outer box and product damaged Indicates the package suffered a serious impact or fall during transit. You can refuse the package on the spot (at a convenience store pickup) or photograph it after receiving and file a complaint.

Steps to Handle Damaged Goods

Step 1: Inspect immediately upon pickup

  • Convenience store pickup: Check the outer box on the spot. If there's obvious damage you can refuse it right there
  • Home delivery: Check the box before signing. If there's damage you can refuse or note it when signing

If the box looks fine, open it as soon as possible to inspect the product.

Step 2: Document with photos If the product is damaged, photograph immediately:

  • The damaged section of the outer box (multiple angles)
  • The damaged part of the product (close-up)
  • The complete package photo (to prove it belongs to your order)

Photos should be clear and well-lit so the damage is clearly visible.

Step 3: Contact the seller to negotiate Message the seller via "Chat": "Hello, I received the product and found damage (photos attached). How would you like to handle this?"

Sellers typically offer one of these solutions:

  • Reship a new item (most common)
  • Partial refund (if damage doesn't affect usability)
  • Full refund (if returning the item)

Step 4: File a return/refund request If the seller won't help or the proposed solution is unsatisfactory, file a return/refund request:

  • Go to the order page → tap "Request Refund/Return"
  • Select reason "Product Defect/Damage"
  • Upload damage photos and chat records

Once submitted, Shopee's returns and refunds team will contact you or request supporting documents within 24 hours. If the damage is confirmed, Shopee will approve the refund; under Article 19 of Taiwan's Consumer Protection Act the seller bears the costs arising from the return, and if you use Shopee's supported reverse logistics you don't pay return shipping yourself. For assistance contacting support, see our Complete Shopee Customer Service Contact Guide.

How to Prevent Damaged Goods (for Sellers)

If you're a seller looking to reduce damage complaints:

  • Use sturdy boxes: Avoid flimsy or worn-out cardboard
  • Add protective fill: Bubble wrap, foam, newspaper — ensure items can't shift
  • Label fragile items: Affix "Fragile" stickers to the outside
  • Choose appropriate shipping: Fragile items should use home delivery, not store-to-store

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Tracking says "Delivered" but I didn't receive it — what do I do?

Check the following:

  1. Convenience store pickup: Confirm whether you've collected the package (the SMS contains your pickup code)
  2. Home delivery: Check if the management office, a neighbor, or a family member accepted it
  3. Address check: Verify the delivery address is correct

If you've confirmed you didn't receive it, immediately contact the seller and courier, then file a complaint with Shopee.

Q2: Tracking has been stuck on "In Transit" for over a week — what should I do?

The courier system may not have updated, or the package may genuinely be delayed. Recommended steps:

  1. Contact the seller to inquire
  2. Call the courier's customer service to confirm the package's location
  3. If the estimated delivery date has clearly passed and the seller can't help, file a refund/return request through Shopee's system (there is no official fixed day threshold)

Q3: Convenience store pickup expired and the package was returned — can it be reshipped?

Yes, but you'll need to negotiate with the seller. Common solutions:

  1. Seller reshipping (return shipping fee paid by buyer)
  2. Cancel order and refund
  3. Switch to home delivery (you may need to pay a price difference)

Q4: Can I refuse a damaged package?

Yes. Shopee's official position is that if you have doubts about the package's condition at pickup, it's your call whether to take it — so you can decline it, in which case it goes back to the seller and you apply for a refund or a reship. If you decide to accept it anyway, photograph and film all sides of the package on the spot before filing a return request in the system.

Q5: How is compensation calculated for a lost package?

It depends on which courier actually carried the parcel, since each one's terms differ. Taking T-CAT's shipping terms (Article 12) as an example: for undeclared-value goods that are lost or damaged, compensation is paid according to the value of the goods up to a liability cap of NT$20,000; for declared-value goods, compensation is paid up to the declared amount with a NT$50,000 ceiling. The "compensation limited to the shipping fee" rule applies to late delivery, not to loss or damage.

In other words, the widely repeated "a multiple of the shipping fee" formula does not appear in T-CAT's terms — don't assume the payout is trivial and give up on claiming. If you've confirmed the item never arrived, you can still file a refund request through Shopee, with the outcome subject to Shopee's review.

Q6: Can I specify a delivery time?

Some couriers offer time slot selection (e.g., T-CAT home delivery), but the seller must note this at the time of shipment and there may be an additional fee. Convenience store pickup offers no time selection — you pick up within the storage period.

Q7: Can the delivery address be changed after shipping?

Before shipment: Contact the seller and ask them to update the address (may require canceling and reordering).

After shipment: Convenience store addresses cannot be changed. For home delivery, you can contact the courier to request an address change (requires the original recipient's consent).

Q8: I can't get through to courier customer service — what should I do?

Customer service lines are busiest during peak hours (noon 12–2 PM, evening 6–8 PM). Try:

  1. Off-peak hours (9–11 AM)
  2. Online chat support (available on the courier's website)
  3. Ask Shopee customer service to contact the courier on your behalf

Q9: The seller is shipping too slowly — can I cancel the order?

If the seller has passed their promised shipping time (usually 3 days), you can:

  1. First message the seller to ask for a reason
  2. If the seller doesn't respond or the reason is unacceptable, ask Shopee to cancel the order
  3. Shopee will step in and issue a full refund

Q10: If a logistics delay causes late delivery, does it affect my 7-day return window?

No. Under Article 19 of Taiwan's Consumer Protection Act (the statutory term is the "cooling-off period," commonly called the 7-day inspection period), a distance-sales consumer may rescind the contract within seven days of receiving the goods or accepting the service — the clock starts when you actually receive the item, not on the order date or shipping date. So even if logistics delays occur, your return rights are unaffected.


Summary: Shopee Logistics Tracking, Delays, Lost Packages, and Damage

Logistics issues on Shopee are common, but with the right tracking methods, handling procedures, and contact channels, most problems can be resolved quickly. Stay calm when issues arise — check the logistics status first, then contact the seller, and finally escalate to the courier or Shopee support. Follow the steps and your rights will be protected.

For sellers, proactively tracking shipments, packaging items carefully, and responding quickly to buyer questions will reduce complaint rates and boost your store's reputation.
