PostNL tracking hasn’t updated for days and my parcel is late, how can I locate it?

If PostNL tracking hasn’t updated for several days and your parcel is late, try these steps to locate it:

Check the latest tracking scan;

• Open the PostNL Track & Trace page
• Note the last location and date of the scan
• Sometimes parcels remain at a sorting center for several days before the next update
• Screenshot the tracking page for reference

Verify the estimated delivery date;

• Some parcels can take longer due to customs or transfer delays
• Tracking may not update until the parcel reaches the next processing facility

Check nearby delivery points;

• Sometimes parcels are redirected to a PostNL pickup point or parcel locker
• Check the tracking page for messages like:
– “Ready for pickup”
– “Delivered to service point”

Contact the sender first;

• In many cases, only the sender can start an official investigation with PostNL
• Provide them with the tracking number and delay details

Contact PostNL customer service;

• Use the PostNL support page or live chat
• Provide:
– Tracking number
– Last tracking update date
– Delivery address

Ask for a parcel investigation;

• If the tracking hasn’t updated for several days, PostNL may open a missing parcel investigation to locate it.
