What do common Caribou tracking statuses mean?
These are the Caribou statuses you'll see most often, decoded so you know exactly where things stand. Ordered is the 'we know about it, but it hasn't moved yet' moment — the label exists, the parcel doesn't have a courier yet. In Transit simply means the parcel is on the move within Caribou's sorting and transport network. Out for Delivery signals same-day arrival — the parcel is on a final-mile vehicle moving towards you. When the status reads Delivered, the parcel should be with you, a neighbour, or in your nominated safe place. To Collect = the courier couldn't complete delivery, so the parcel is held at a nearby collection point with your name on it. Pending means Caribou hasn't scanned the parcel into a new stage yet — typical between major handoffs.
Why isn't my Caribou tracking updating?
Tracking silence on a Caribou parcel can feel like the worst possible state — neither moving nor confirmed, just waiting. Your feelings here are valid. The thing to know: tracking quiet doesn't mean the parcel is lost. It usually means it's between scans, not stationary. Long-haul transport, customs processing, weekends, and public holidays all create natural gaps where no new scan is recorded. Practical first step: open the Caribou tracking, note the date and location of the last scan, and judge whether that's reasonable for the route you're expecting. When the wait crosses what's reasonable for the route, send Caribou customer support your tracking number and request a trace. Meanwhile, Parcel Monitor keeps the tracking under observation — we'll push a notification the moment something updates, even if that's days away.
What should I do if my Caribou parcel is lost?
Worrying about a lost Caribou parcel is genuinely stressful — especially when you've been waiting weeks for something important. Your concern is completely valid. Parcels that look lost almost always reappear once the next scan posts — actual losses are the exception, not the norm. Begin with the tracking itself. Pull up the Caribou page and look at the most recent scan — a recent hub scan means the parcel is still moving, while an old scan stuck at one place is worth investigating. When the silence has gone on too long, escalate to Caribou customer support. They can open an internal trace and dig into records that aren't visible on the public tracking page. When Caribou concludes the parcel is truly lost, the seller is who you go to. They have the carrier contract and the legal duty to provide a refund or reship the order. A simple habit that helps: keep screenshots of the Caribou tracking events. They support your claim with the seller and any insurer involved. Parcel Monitor stays on the Caribou tracking even when the carrier appears to have given up — push notifications fire on any new scan.
What should I do if my Caribou parcel is marked delivered but didn't arrive?
When Caribou flags a parcel as delivered but it's nowhere to be seen, the first reaction is usually a mix of confusion and mild panic — fair enough. A short walk around the house often turns up the parcel — drivers regularly leave them by the side entrance, behind shrubs, or under cover near the garage. Caribou tracking history is more informative than people expect — a delivery photo or location description sits in there fairly often, saving a longer hunt. Worth checking with everyone at home and giving the neighbours a knock — parcels misrouted by one or two doors are remarkably common. The 'delivered' status sometimes precedes the parcel by a few hours — wait a day, maybe two, before assuming something's gone wrong. If the parcel really hasn't appeared, the seller takes over from here — they can open a claim with Caribou, arrange a replacement, or process a refund as appropriate. Keep a tracking screenshot saved for the claim — Parcel Monitor stays alert to any new scans coming through on the parcel.
Can I track multiple Caribou parcels in one place?
Definitely — Parcel Monitor is a multi-carrier dashboard at heart, so Caribou parcels share the view with shipments from any other carrier you use. Add tracking numbers yourself, or let Gmail integration do the heavy lifting — Caribou numbers get picked out of shipping emails and added automatically. Real-time scan updates arrive per parcel, meaning your full Caribou fleet — and everything else — stays current without manual checking. No upper limit on parcels means you can let the dashboard absorb a whole shopping spree — handy when Black Friday or Singles' Day fills the inbox.
