When you ship or expect a delivery, the most important detail you need is the tracking number. Every courier—whether DHL, FedEx, UPS, or Aramex—assigns a unique code that allows you to track your package in real time until it arrives.

At Travo.ng, we simplify logistics by helping you understand how to use tracking numbers to monitor shipments within Nigeria and internationally.

What Is a Tracking Number?

A tracking number is a unique code assigned to a parcel when it is shipped. It helps you:

  • 📦 Confirm your package is in transit
  • 🚚 See the current location of your shipment
  • 🕒 Estimate delivery time
  • 🔒 Ensure safe delivery by monitoring movements

Each courier has its own format:
