How do I track my package in Argentina?

Paste your tracking number into Parcel Monitor and we'll take it from there. We recognise the number automatically — whether it came from Correo Argentino, Andreani, OCA or an international courier — and pull every update into one clean timeline, in plain English. No account needed, and it's free — always. Expecting a few orders at once? Add them all and check everything at a glance. The number the overseas seller gave you works here too: we'll follow your order from the origin country all the way to your door in Argentina, including the moment it's handed to the local courier.

Which courier services in Argentina can Parcel Monitor track?

All the ones you'll actually meet. Correo Argentino handles most international mail and Puerta a Puerta orders, Andreani and OCA carry a big share of local e-commerce, and express couriers like DHL, FedEx and UPS cover urgent deliveries. We follow them all — plus over 1,000 carriers worldwide — so your AliExpress haul, your Mercado Libre order and a gift from family abroad all live on one page. Drop in your number and we'll work out who's carrying it. If your order crosses the border and switches to a local courier halfway, we keep following it through the handover.

Why is my package status showing "In Transit" with no updates for several days?

A quiet stretch like this is almost always normal, so take a breath. On international routes, your package spends days on a plane or waiting at an air hub — and nobody scans it mid-flight. The next update usually appears when it lands in Argentina and Correo Argentino or customs picks it up. Quiet patches of a week or more are common on routes from Asia. We keep checking for you, and the moment a new scan appears you'll see it. If the silence stretches well past the delivery window the seller promised, that's your cue to message them and ask what's up.

What does "Stuck in Customs" or "En Proceso de Aduana" mean?

It means your package reached Argentina and is sitting with customs at the international mail centre — a completely routine stop, not a problem. Officers check the declared value and contents of incoming packages, and that queue can move slowly. Sometimes they need something from you: a payment, or a confirmation of what's inside. Keep an eye on your status here, and check the Correo Argentino website or the ARCA portal with your tracking number to see if any action is waiting on you. Once it clears, your package moves to the local delivery network and updates start flowing again.

How does the "Puerta a Puerta" (Door-to-Door) customs declaration work?

Puerta a Puerta is the regime that lets your overseas online orders come straight to your home instead of a customs office — and since July 2026, it got a lot simpler. The postal operator can now handle the customs paperwork on your behalf, so for most orders there's nothing for you to file at all. If a declaration or a payment is needed — the 21% IVA, or duties on value above your allowance — you'll sort it online through the Correo Argentino portal using your tracking number, and delivery then continues to your door. No trip to Ezeiza, no queueing at a customs counter. Watch your status here: when it shows customs processing, that's your moment to check the portal so nothing sits waiting on you. Once payment clears, your package usually moves back into the delivery network within days, and your timeline picks up again.

Why do I need a CUIT/CUIL to receive international packages in Argentina?

Because Argentine customs registers every import — even a small one — under a person, and your CUIT or CUIL is how they know that person is you. It also keeps count of your yearly tax-free allowance. The courier or postal service asks for it upfront so your package clears without extra back-and-forth. If you shop abroad regularly, have it ready at checkout when the store asks; it saves days later. Don't have a CUIT or CUIL? A CDI works as an alternative for people outside the tax system — and you'll show your DNI when the package is delivered.

What are the import limits for personal shipments in Argentina?

Here's the good news first: since 30 July 2026, one simple rule covers both post and courier. Your first 5 packages each calendar year come in free of import duties and the statistics fee, as long as each is worth up to USD 400 FOB. Go over USD 400 and you pay the regular import taxes — but only on the amount above the limit, not the whole value. Each package can be worth up to USD 3,000, with up to 3 units of the same item, strictly for personal use. One thing the exemption doesn't cover: IVA. The 21% VAT applies to the declared value of every import, even within the USD 400 allowance, and some categories — certain electronics, for instance — add internal taxes on top. Correo Argentino may also charge a small service and storage fee. So budget for the VAT, and treat the franquicia as a duty holiday rather than a completely free pass.

What happens if I'm not home when Correo Argentino or Andreani attempts delivery?

No stress — your package doesn't vanish, it just waits for you. Correo Argentino usually leaves a notice and moves your package to the nearest branch, where you collect it with your DNI. Andreani typically tries again or sends it to one of its branches (sucursales), and your tracking status will name the exact pickup point. Check your timeline here first: it tells you where the package went and from when it's ready. One thing to remember — branches only hold packages for a limited time before returning them, so pick yours up within a few days of the notice.

Can someone else pick up my package at a local courier branch in Argentina?

Yes — you don't have to go yourself, you just need the paperwork right. For Correo Argentino, give your helper a signed authorisation letter (carta de autorización), a photocopy of your DNI (front and back), and have them bring their own original DNI plus the tracking code or notice card. If your order runs through the MiCorreo platform, you can delegate the pickup digitally instead — quicker than paper. Express couriers follow the same idea: DHL, FedEx and UPS all want a signed authorisation naming both of you, a copy of your ID, your helper's original ID, and the tracking or waybill number at the counter. UPS also accepts its InfoNotice slip signed on the back. Get those three things right — letter, both IDs, tracking number — and the counter visit takes minutes. Miss one, and staff will politely turn your helper away, so double-check the bag before they leave.

Why does my package have a new tracking number after arriving in Argentina?

Nothing's wrong — your package just changed hands. International sellers often ship with a cross-border courier, and once your order lands in Argentina, Correo Argentino or a local courier takes over the final leg and assigns its own number. The original number often goes quiet at that point, which is why it looks like your package disappeared. It didn't. Enter either number on Parcel Monitor and we'll show you the full journey; if the seller sends you the new local number, add it too and we'll keep both in view until the package is at your door.

My tracking status says "Delivered" (Entregado), but I haven't received my package. What should I do?

Don't panic — most "Entregado" mysteries solve themselves within a day. Start close to home: ask neighbours, the portero or building reception, and check any spot a courier might tuck a package. Drivers sometimes scan deliveries a little early, so it may still show up later today or tomorrow. If a family member has a habit of signing for things, ask them too. Still nothing after a day? Contact the courier with your tracking number and ask exactly where and when it was handed over — they log this. Then tell the seller, who can open an investigation, send a replacement or refund you. Keep it factual when you write to them — the delivery date, the status shown, what the courier told you — and a screenshot of your Parcel Monitor timeline makes the case for you.

What should I do if my package was returned to the sender (Devuelto al Origen)?

First, know that your money isn't lost — but do act quickly. Packages get returned when delivery attempts fail, the branch storage window runs out, a customs fee goes unpaid, or the address can't be found. Check your timeline here to see which one happened; that detail matters for what comes next. Then message the seller straight away: most will reship once the package reaches them, or refund you. If customs fees were the cause, sort your CUIT/CUIL and payment method before the second try so it doesn't repeat. You can watch the return journey on Parcel Monitor too — the same number keeps working.
