Most "where is my Canpar package" problems fall into one of four situations. Identify yours first — the right next step depends entirely on which one it is.
Find the right tracking number
Canpar tracking numbers are commonly long numeric barcodes from the shipping label. Business senders use Canpar heavily, so ask the sender for the exact number if you only have an order reference.
Canpar tracking not updating
Tracking only changes when the parcel is scanned. Gaps of a few business days between hubs are normal, especially on long-distance or cross-border legs. Canpar mostly delivers on business days and to business addresses; residential deliveries may arrive later in the day.
Tracking says delivered but nothing arrived
- Check the delivery details on the tracking page: some carriers record a signature name, a photo, or the place the parcel was left.
- Look around the property, with neighbours, building reception, parcel rooms and mailboxes.
- Wait one business day — parcels are sometimes scanned delivered before the final drop.
- Contact the sender. The shipper holds the contract with the carrier and can open an investigation faster than a recipient.
Tracking never moved past 'label created'
This almost always means the sender printed a label but Canpar has not received the parcel yet. Contact the sender, not the carrier — only they can confirm when it was handed over.
When and how to contact the carrier
Contact the sender first, then Canpar's official customer service with the tracking number if the sender cannot resolve it.
