“Ready for collection / Gotowa do odbioru w Paczkomacie”Normalized: exception (Needs attention)InPost (inpost)

What InPost 'Ready for collection (ready_to_pickup)' means—and why it requires recipient action.

Your parcel has been placed inside the destination InPost Paczkomat (Automated Parcel Machine) or PUDO point and is waiting for the recipient to unlock the compartment with their pickup code or InPost Mobile app.

What is happening in the supply chain

InPost couriers load parcels into temperature-protected locker compartments and trigger the ready_to_pickup scan. Because the shipment is not yet in the recipient's hands—and will return to the sender if uncollected within 48 hours—lastscanned maps ready_to_pickup to exception (action required) until the final delivered scan fires.

Frequently asked questions

Why does InPost ready_to_pickup map to exception instead of delivered?
Because locker placement still requires customer pickup within a strict 48-hour window before automatic return-to-sender. Only the actual compartment-open pickup event maps to delivered.
How do I track a 24-digit InPost parcel number via API?
Call GET /v1/track/{24_digit_number} on lastscanned—24-digit numeric barcodes starting with 5 or 6 auto-detect as inpost.
