Speaking of package delivery, you might be confused about what carriers and couriers can do for you. Both carriers and couriers can pick up your package and deliver it to the designated address. Nevertheless, it's worth noticing that carriers and couriers differ in many ways. Carriers usually process bulky items, which are referred to as cargo/freight as a whole, and they don't offer door-to-door services. Different from carriers, couriers specialize in delivering smaller items. They pick up your package and deliver it to the recipient's doorstep.  Generally, carrier services are more affordable than courier services. However, It takes carriers longer to deliver your package.

The top 10 package delivery companies in the USA include UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, Aramex, Blue Dart, ShipBob, LaserShip, Spee-Dee, and Lone Star Overnight.  The top package delivery companies in the UK include Hermes, Royal Mail, FedEx, DHL, Yodel, DHL, Parcel Force, and TNT Express. The top package delivery companies in China are S.F. Express, EMS, ZTO Express, JD Express, YT Express, STO Express, J&T Express, DEPPON, and Kuayue Express. These courier services companies handle a large volume of packages, offer speedy delivery and package tracking services. Notably, ParcelPanel can be used to track all the packages handled by these companies.

Since there is a multitude of couriers available for package shipping, you might find it difficult to make a decision. When choosing a carrier, you should take various factors into account, such as pricing, estimated time of arrival, shipping requirements, package tracking, global reach, and extra services.  It's worth noticing that some carriers don't support remote areas, or the remote area surcharges will be particularly high. Moreover, if you choose USPS, in most cases, delivery on Sundays is out of the question because this is part of the standard service.

Tracking number lookup is based on the integrations with different carriers and the tracking numbers that they are using. Ideally, the tracking number is unique for easy distinction and information retrieval. In fact, many carriers have similar tracking numbers, which makes it impossible for all package tracking systems to auto-detect carriers. To distinguish the carrier service you're using, it will be necessary for you to indicate the carrier. Based on big data and machine learning, ParcelPanel's carrier auto-detection accuracy reaches over 90% - the highest level in the industry. In case auto-detection doesn't work: ①If you're using ParcelPanel's official website, go to a specific carrier tracking page; ②If you are using the ParcelPanel app, select the carriers that you're partnering with from the first moment you use ParcelPanel to improve the tracking accuracy.
