Let’s start by understanding what tracking actually means.
What is TCS Parcel Tracking?
TCS tracking is a system that lets you check the live location and delivery status of your parcel. When you send something through TCS, they give you a unique tracking number called a CN number (short for Consignment Number). This number is used to follow the parcel throughout its journey from booking to delivery.
TCS tracking helps both the sender and the receiver. It confirms that the parcel is moving in the right direction and hasn’t been delayed or lost. You can track when it left, where it currently is, and when it will arrive.
Where Can You Find the Tracking Number?
The tracking number or CN number is printed on the booking receipt if you’re sending the parcel yourself. If someone else is sending it to you, they can share it with you via message or email. If you ordered something online, like from Daraz or a brand store, the CN number is usually included in the order confirmation or shipping update.
The CN number is usually 10 or 12 digits long and may include letters. Make sure to enter it exactly as provided when checking tracking. This number is very important, as without it, you won’t be able to track the parcel at all.
Method 1: How to Track TCS Parcel Online
The easiest and most popular way to track your TCS parcel is through the official online tracking system. You can use your desktop or mobile browser for this.
Here’s how you can do it step by step:
- Go to the tracking section of this website
- Look for the search box where you can enter your tracking number
- Type the CN number exactly as it appears on your receipt
- Press the “Track” button
- You’ll immediately see your parcel’s journey, including when it was booked, where it currently is, and if it’s out for delivery
This method works for both local and international shipments. It is the most convenient way to track your TCS courier. It’s fast, free, and available 24/7.
Method 2: Tracking Through the TCS Mobile App
TCS has its own mobile app for Android and iOS users. If you send or receive parcels often, you may find it helpful.
Steps:
- Download the official TCS app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store
- Open the app and go to the tracking section
- Enter your CN number
- You’ll see the latest delivery status and updates
The app also lets you save frequently used CN numbers, so you don’t have to re-enter them every time.
Method 3: Track via SMS (No Internet Required)
If you don’t have access to Wi-Fi or mobile data, you can still track your parcel using your mobile phone.
Here’s how to do it:
- Open your phone’s messaging app
- Type your CN number as a new message
- Send it to the TCS tracking SMS number (usually +92 21 111 123 456, but you should confirm this on their official website or receipt)
- You’ll receive an automated SMS with the latest parcel information
This method is simple and works on any mobile phone, even if it’s not a smartphone.
Method 4: Contacting TCS Customer Support for Help
If online and SMS tracking aren’t helping, you can always contact TCS customer service.
Just call the TCS support line at 021-111-123-456. Be sure to have your CN number ready so they can assist you quickly.
Alternatively, you can send an email to customerservices@tcs.com.pk with your tracking number and request an update. Their team usually responds within a few hours during working days.
Understanding Tracking Statuses
When you enter your CN number, you may see some common terms or status updates. Here’s what they mean:
- Booked: The parcel has been received by TCS and is in the system
- In Transit: The parcel is moving from one city to another or from one branch to the next
- Arrived at Destination: The parcel has reached the city where it will be delivered
- Out for Delivery: A delivery person is currently carrying your parcel and it should arrive soon
- Delivered: Your parcel has been successfully delivered to the recipient
- Delivery Attempted: The courier tried to deliver it, but was unable to complete the delivery (often because no one was available to receive it)
These updates help you know when to expect the parcel or whether you need to contact TCS for support.
How to Track International Parcels Sent via TCS
TCS handles international deliveries through partnerships with global courier services. Whether your parcel is going to the UAE, USA, UK, or another country, you can still track it using the CN number.
Visit the same tracking website tcsonlinetracking.com.pk and enter the number as usual. The tracking tool will show international updates as the parcel moves between countries and cities.
If the parcel has been handed over to another international courier partner (like DHL or UPS), you may also be given a secondary tracking number. That number can be entered into the partner courier’s site for detailed updates.
What to Do If Tracking Doesn’t Work
Sometimes the TCS tracking page may not show your parcel status correctly. This can happen for several reasons:
- The tracking number was just generated and hasn’t been updated yet
- There’s a typing mistake in the number you entered
- The system is temporarily down
Here’s what you can try:
- Wait a few hours and try again
- Double-check the number from your receipt or SMS
- If it still doesn’t show anything after 24 hours, contact TCS customer service
It’s important not to panic right away. In most cases, it’s just a temporary delay in the system.
How to Track TCS Orders from Online Shopping Sites
Many popular e-commerce platforms in Pakistan use TCS to deliver their orders. If you’ve ordered from Daraz, Limelight, GulAhmed, Alkaram Studio, or any other online store, you’ll receive a CN number when your order is shipped.
Usually, you’ll find this number in:
- The confirmation SMS
- The shipping email
- Your order details section on the website
Once you have the tracking number, you can enter it on this site or in the TCS app to check the delivery status.
You can use this number to track your parcel exactly the same way:
- Enter the CN number on tcsonlinetracking.com.pk
- The system will show your parcel’s status from warehouse to doorstep
If your order confirmation doesn’t include a CN number, you can contact the online store’s customer service for help.
