Aramex is the largest logistics and courier company based in the Arab world, delivering to 220+ countries and territories. Founded in Amman, Jordan in 1982, Aramex is especially dominant in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. Whether you are tracking an Aramex Express business shipment or an Aramex Shop & Ship package from an overseas online store, this guide covers everything you need.
Aramex Tracking Number Format
Aramex Express tracking numbers are typically 11 digits long (e.g. 12345678901). Some Aramex shipments use longer reference numbers depending on the service level and the origin country. Aramex Shop & Ship packages (forwarded from a shopping address in the US, UK, China, etc.) use a reference that includes your personal mailbox code — look for this in your Shop & Ship account.
Aramex Express vs Shop & Ship vs Aramex Economy
Aramex Express is the premium door-to-door courier service, delivering internationally in 1–5 business days with full tracking from pickup to delivery. Aramex Shop & Ship is a package forwarding service — you get a personal shipping address in major shopping countries (US, UK, China, UAE, etc.) and Aramex ships purchases to your home address. Aramex Economy is a cost-effective air freight service for heavier shipments with longer transit times.
Where to Find Your Aramex Tracking Number
Your Aramex tracking number appears in: (1) the shipment confirmation email from the sender, (2) on the Aramex shipping label as a barcode, (3) in your Aramex account under "My Shipments", or (4) in your Shop & Ship account dashboard once a package arrives at your forwarding address. If you ordered from an online retailer that uses Aramex, the tracking number is usually on your order's dispatch email.
How to Track Aramex on Trackora
Enter your Aramex tracking number in the Trackora search box. Trackora auto-detects the Aramex format and retrieves your full delivery timeline — from pickup and hub processing through customs clearance and out-for-delivery. For Shop & Ship packages, once Aramex generates the final-leg tracking number for your home country delivery, that number works on Trackora too.
Aramex Delivery Status Messages Explained
"Shipment picked up" — Aramex collected the package from the sender. "Processed at Aramex facility" — the shipment was scanned and sorted at an Aramex hub. "Departed" — the shipment left the origin country. "In customs" — the shipment is being processed by customs at the destination country. "Out for delivery" — an Aramex courier is delivering your package today. "Delivered" — the package was handed to the recipient. "Delivery attempted" — nobody was home; Aramex will retry or contact you to arrange re-delivery.
Why Is Aramex Popular in the Middle East?
Aramex has the most extensive last-mile delivery network in the GCC, Levant, and North Africa regions — areas where international carriers like FedEx and DHL have limited coverage. Aramex also offers cod (cash on delivery) options common in these markets, and its Shop & Ship service makes it easy for shoppers in the region to buy from US and UK online retailers.
