Tracking parcels from Antarctica or within the continent is simple with Parcel App. We support various carriers to keep you updated on your shipments.
Parcel tracking from Antarctica and across the continent is now easier thanks to Parcel App. Although Antarctica has limited postal services, we support tracking for shipments sent from and within this region. Whether you are sending scientific equipment or personal packages, Parcel App helps you stay informed.
Postal and courier services in Antarctica are unique due to the continent's remote nature. Most mail is handled by national Antarctic programs through their home countries' postal systems. Common carriers include national postal services from countries operating research stations here.
Tracking numbers from Antarctica usually follow the format of the home country’s postal system. For example, mail sent from a US research station might use USPS tracking codes. These codes often combine letters and numbers, such as RR123456789US.
International shipments from Antarctica often route through countries like New Zealand, Australia, or Chile. If your parcel is headed to Russia, it can also be tracked via Russian Post once it reaches that country.
Using Parcel App to track your Antarctic parcels is straightforward. Enter your tracking number on our website or mobile app. The app automatically detects the carrier and shows real-time updates. You can also enable notifications to get alerts on your parcel’s status.
Parcel App supports over 1000 carriers worldwide, including those handling Antarctic shipments. Our interface is user-friendly, making parcel tracking hassle-free no matter where you are.
