Pakistan Post Tracking — Track Your Package Online
Need to track a Pakistan Post package? Enter your Pakistan Post tracking number below to get live shipment status instantly. Pakistan Post is the national postal operator and the only courier with delivery access to virtually every address in the country, including remote rural areas private couriers don't cover. It also handles a significant share of inbound international mail from countries that route through postal networks (e.g. China Post, USPS First Class).
Pakistan Post Tracking Number Format — How to Find It
Pakistan Post tracking numbers typically follow this format: R/C + 9 digits + PK
Example: RR123456785PK
You'll usually find your Pakistan Post tracking number on your shipping receipt, order confirmation email, or the waybill slip attached to your package at pickup.
How Pakistan Post Shipping Works
As a government postal service, Pakistan Post moves mail through its General Post Offices (GPOs) and is the designated handler for items that cross into Pakistan via the international postal network rather than private express carriers, meaning customs clearance for these items often takes longer than express couriers.
Items entering Pakistan via Pakistan Post are subject to customs examination at the Foreign Post Office in Karachi before being released for onward domestic delivery; this step is a common cause of multi-day gaps in tracking history.
Typical delivery time: Registered mail: 3-7 business days within Pakistan. International (postal network): 15-45 business days depending on origin and customs.

Pakistan Post Tracking Not Working? Common Reasons Why
If your Pakistan Post tracking isn't updating, here's what's usually going on:
24-48 hour delay: First scan may take up to 2 days after pickup
Weekend or holiday: No scans on non-business days
Customs hold: International packages may be delayed for inspection
Incorrect tracking number: Verify with your sender
If there's no update after several business days, double check the tracking number against your order confirmation, then reach out to Pakistan Post's own customer support if the issue persists.
Where do I find my Pakistan Post tracking number? Your Pakistan Post tracking number is printed on the shipping receipt or waybill given at pickup, and is also usually included in the order confirmation or shipping notification email from whoever sent the package.
Why is my Pakistan Post tracking stuck at 'Foreign Post Office'? This usually means the item is undergoing customs assessment in Karachi; postal customs processing can take one to several weeks depending on volume.
Does Pakistan Post deliver to rural addresses other couriers don't reach? Yes, this is one of its key advantages — Pakistan Post has the widest physical delivery network of any carrier serving Pakistan.
What if Pakistan Post tracking shows delivered but I didn't receive my package? Contact Pakistan Post directly as soon as possible. Check with neighbors or household members first, and ask the carrier for proof-of-delivery details such as a photo or signature if available.
