Tracking may not update due to several reasons: the package may not have been scanned yet by the postal service, it’s in transit but hasn’t reached the next scanning point, or there might be a delay due to weather, customs, or high package volume. To resolve this, wait 48 hours for updates as scans can sometimes be delayed. If there's no update after this period, contact the courier or seller for further assistance.

  1. Why hasn't my package tracking status updated? Tracking status may not update because the package hasn't been scanned yet, is between scanning points, or there are delays like weather or customs.
