How to track a Hermes package
To track a Hermes shipment, enter your tracking number above into our independent tracking tool to check your parcel status. We consolidate tracking events across multiple carriers into one timeline.

About Hermes
Hermes is a well known courier service based in the United Kingdom that specializes in business to consumer package shipping and consumer parcel delivery across Europe and international routes. The company operates an extensive logistics infrastructure consisting of sorting hubs, local delivery depots, parcel lockers, and network couriers who complete final deliveries.
Retailers and individual senders use Hermes for regular e-commerce fulfillments, returns, and personal shipments. Packages handled by Hermes range from small lightweight envelopes to large domestic cartons. The carrier relies on electronic scanning checkpoints at every step of journey to maintain visibility over parcels in transit.
Where Hermes delivers
Hermes operates primarily across the United Kingdom and Europe, utilizing dedicated vehicle fleets, central sorting hubs, and network pickup locations. For international parcels traveling beyond its direct operational footprint, Hermes collaborates with regional postal authorities and postal logistics partners. Cross-border items leave origin hubs, pass international line-haul channels, clear destination customs control, and transfer to local destination postal services for final door-to-door delivery.

Hermes tracking number format
Hermes tracking numbers typically consist of a 16-digit numeric string printed on delivery labels and receipt emails. Some international formats or business shipments may use a 10-digit numeric sequence or alphanumeric combinations starting with regional courier prefixes. Spaces may be displayed on receipt prints for readability, but should be entered continuous without spaces or dashes when searching.
Format example
- 0000 0000 0000 0000
- 0000000000
- HRM0000000000
Patterns vary by service. Paste whatever you have and we will detect the carrier for you.

What each status means
- Manifest Generated
- The seller created a shipping label electronically, but Hermes has not physically scanned the parcel yet.
- Collected by Courier
- A Hermes driver or drop-off point collected your parcel and scanned it into the carrier network.
- In Transit
- Your parcel is traveling between regional sorting hubs or moving along an international transport corridor.
- Arrived at Sorting Depot
- The parcel has entered a Hermes logistics hub and is queued for sorting toward its destination region.
- Out for Delivery
- Your parcel has been loaded onto a local courier vehicle for final delivery during regular delivery hours.
- Delivered
- The courier completed delivery, leaving the parcel at your address, with a neighbor, or in a safe place.
- Delivery Attempted

- Held in Customs
- The package is undergoing routine entry checks by destination customs authorities.
How long is normal for Hermes?
Logistics networks frequently experience brief gaps between physical barcode scans. A pause on your tracking page does not automatically mean your Hermes parcel is lost or delayed permanently.
Days 1 to 2
Initial scanning gaps are expected after label creation while the parcel moves from drop-off points to sorting hubs. Allow full initial hub scanning to reflect online.
Days 3 to 5
Domestic packages usually reach local depots during this timeframe. If tracking remains unchanged for four full business days, re-verify your receipt code and confirm dispatch with the seller.
After 7 days
For domestic shipments, seven days without physical scans indicates a potential transit delay. Contact the merchant who dispatched the parcel so they can launch an inquiry.
After 14 days
International shipments facing clearance or transfer holds may take two weeks. If cross-border tracking remains silent past 14 days, request an official investigation via the sender.
Hermes tracking not updating?
Tracking delays typically occur when a package experiences operational friction between scans, high regional hub volumes, or administrative holds.
- Unscanned Hub Transit
- Parcels traveling inside large bulk containers do not receive individual barcode scans until arriving at destination sorting depots.
- Customs Documentation Holds
- Cross-border packages undergo security inspections or tax assessments which temporarily pause scan updates.
- Weekend and Holiday Operations
- Depots and local courier networks often run limited shifts over weekends and public holidays, resulting in reduced tracking activity.
- Last-Mile Delivery Partner Transfer
- When Hermes transfers an international package to a local domestic carrier, scan updates can pause until the receiving carrier scans it.
What to do next
- Verify that every digit of your tracking number was typed correctly without extra spaces.
- Check your original order email to ensure the package was physically handed over to Hermes and not just manifest declared.
- Allow 24 to 48 hours for long-distance transport legs between major sorting facilities.
- Reach out directly to the merchant or sender, as senders hold primary contract authority to request formal carrier trace actions.
Hermes customs & handoffs
International shipping with Hermes involves multiple stages across international borders. Once a parcel is collected, it moves to an export facility where it receives an export scan before line-haul transportation. The shipment then travels by ground or air cargo to the destination country, where local customs authorities perform standard border security checks and clear the items for entry.
Following customs clearance, Hermes frequently partners with national postal networks or local regional couriers to perform the final delivery leg. During this handoff, a secondary local tracking identifier is sometimes generated. Independent multi-carrier tools like parceltracking.com help track these international transfers by linking cross-border scan events across different postal networks into one convenient view.
Tips for tracking Hermes parcels
Save Your Hermes Number
Keep your 16-digit tracking code saved in your personal notes or browser bookmarks so you can quickly monitor movement without searching old emails.
Monitor Handoff Tracking Numbers
When shipping internationally, check if tracking events list a local postal partner reference number for detailed final-mile updates.
Save Proof of Delivery
Take a screenshot of the delivery confirmation screen and signature scan upon arrival for your personal purchase records.
Contact Sender for Inquiries
Remember that commercial senders hold the formal account contract with Hermes and can open claims much faster than recipients.

Hermes tracking questions
To track your package, locate the tracking code provided by your merchant or on your postage receipt. Enter that number into the search bar at the top of parceltracking.com to view your full shipment status timeline. You can also enter the code on the official Hermes portal to query their system directly.
Your tracking code is located on the dispatch receipt provided at drop-off or inside the shipping confirmation email sent by the seller. Look for a long numeric string, usually 16 digits long, listed under order details, tracking reference, or barcode numbers.
Tracking updates pause when parcels are in transit between regional sorting hubs, undergoing customs procedures, or waiting for weekend depot handling. If your label was created recently, allow up to 24 hours for the initial physical pickup scan to display online.
Domestic delivery typically takes between 1 and 3 business days depending on the selected service tier, such as Standard or Next Day delivery. International shipments typically take 3 to 14 business days, influenced by flight schedules, distance, and local customs processing.
Domestic parcels are delivered by local Hermes couriers. For international destinations, Hermes transfers packages to national postal services or regional delivery partners once customs clearance is complete, allowing local postal carriers to perform final door-to-door delivery.
Customs clearance involves routine inspection of paperwork, tax verification, and security checks by destination border agents. Transit updates will pause during this phase. Most packages clear customs within a few days without additional action from the recipient.
You can contact support by visiting the official Hermes website and accessing their digital help center. Because the commercial sender holds the delivery service agreement, contacting the merchant who sold the item is often the fastest way to initiate formal investigations.
Yes, completed tracking histories remain viewable online for a period following delivery. Checking your final scan confirms time of arrival, delivery location, safe place note, or digital signature details captured by the courier.
