About Yodel tracking

Yodel delivers parcels for many UK online shops. Yodel's own tracking page now forwards to InPost UK, so the same number works there.

Most Yodel numbers start with JD and have 18 characters. If your shop email shows a shorter number, it may be an order number, not the parcel number.

When you track here, we open the official Yodel page with your number already filled in, so you always see the carrier's own latest scan.

How to track a Yodel parcel

  1. Find the number. Look in the shipping email, the order page or the receipt. A Yodel number looks like JD0002200000000000.
  2. Paste it above. Yodel is selected for you on this page. Spaces and dashes are removed.
  3. Read the status. Check the latest scan and the history. If nothing has changed for a while, see the tips below.

Yodel tracking status meanings

  • Label created / Shipment information receivedThe sender made a label and told the carrier a parcel is coming. The carrier does not have the parcel yet. Wait one to two days for the first scan. If nothing changes after three working days, ask the sender whether it was handed over.
  • In transitThe parcel is moving through the carrier network, by truck, plane or both. Gaps of a day or two between scans are normal, longer for international parcels.
  • Held at customs / Customs clearanceThe destination country is checking the parcel. Duties, taxes or documents may be needed. Watch for a message from the carrier about payment. Only pay through the carrier's official website.
  • Out for deliveryThe parcel is on the delivery vehicle today. Keep your phone on and someone at the address if possible.
  • Delivery attemptedThe driver came but could not deliver, for example nobody was home or access was blocked. Check the card or message left, then rebook delivery or collect it.
  • Exception / DelayedSomething stopped the normal route: weather, an address problem, damage or a missed connection. Most exceptions clear on their own within a day or two. Contact the carrier if nothing changes in 48 hours.
  • DeliveredThe carrier recorded the parcel as handed over or left at the address. If you cannot find it, check safe places and neighbours, then contact the sender within 24 hours.

Tips for Yodel parcels

  • You can often redirect a parcel to a locker or pickup point from the tracking page.
  • "We've got it" means the parcel reached the depot. "On its way" means it is with the driver.
  • Keep the email from the shop: it has the right number and the retailer name tracking asks for.
