PostNet tracking FAQ

How do I track a PostNet package?
Paste the tracking number into the lookup on this page. We read PostNet's own tracking data and show every scan, the current status and the delivery details. Anyone can do one lookup a day without signing up.
Is there a PostNet tracking API?
Yes. GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/:number?carrier=postnet returns PostNet tracking as JSON, in the same shape as every other carrier lastscanned covers. Sign up for a free key with 5 lookups a day, or Pro for $4.99 a month with 1,000 numbers.
What does a PostNet tracking number look like?
PostNet or courier number: with ?carrier=postnet. For example ABC1234567. lastscanned recognizes these formats on its own, so ?carrier=postnet is optional for them.
Does this work for PostNet South Africa numbers?
Yes. They are tracked through PostNet and come back as carrier "postnet".
Can an AI agent track PostNet packages?
Yes. Add lastscanned as an MCP server (https://mcp.lastscanned.com) in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code and ask it where a PostNet parcel is.

Other carriers

Tracking pages are for people. This is for your code.

Every carrier shows a parcel differently. lastscanned reads them all and answers in one shape, so your app, your spreadsheet or your agent handles any carrier the same way.
