Which tracking numbers does Australia Post use?
Letters and parcels are sent with a Australia Post tracking number, which can be used to track the movement of the package. The sender may not register small packages and letters, in which case they will not have a tracking number.
Australia Post's tracking number format looks like this:
RA123456785AU: small packages from Australia weighing up to 2 kg always start with the letter R, from the word Registered;
CD123456785AU: the tracking number for Australia Post shipments weighing up to 20 kg always starts with the letter C;
EE123456785AU: EMS express deliveries start with the letter E.
According to the international format of the Universal Postal Union, the structure of the tracking number has a specific meaning for each letter and digit:
First letter R/C/E: indicates the type of shipment. A Australia Post tracking number that starts with the letter R (Registered) designates registered small packages;
123456785: this numerical sequence provides a uniqueness;
AU: refers to the country of the originating postal service.
Tracking of Australia Post postal packages
Tracking international postal shipments from Australia can be a very useful tool for controlling their transit. Postal statuses will inform you at which stage the shipment is.
With a "package received" status, the recipient can be sure that it has been sent. After that, Australia Post shipments in transit go to a distribution center, where they are sorted and directed to the international mail exchange point. The Australia Post items are then cleared through customs and delivered to the designated postal operator in the destination country. This is known as the "export" tracking stage. Once imported, they go through a similar process in the destination country. The final tracking status indicates that the package has been delivered.
