About Amazon

Amazon started its' existence as Cadabra, and was founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos. Shortly after the company went public in 1997, it started selling books, music and videos within the States, with other countries and products following suit since 1998, when Amazon acquired several UK and German online book distributors.

Currently, Amazon offers items from various brands, both large and small. Some huge brands aren't present on the stores officially, due to some of Amazon's partners not being satisfied with their partnership and Amazon openly violating some of its' stipulations. Even despite that, Amazon remains a big force in the e-commerce sphere, offering a diverse number of products, from electronics to foods. Some of them are sold under Amazon's own branding, including Pinzon, AmazonBasics, Amazon Elements, 365, Goodthreads and many more.

How to find Amazon tracking number

Amazon package tracking number is usually provided by Amazon itself after the order is confirmed and the parcel is sent off. Usually, to find it, all you need to do is check either the store's orders page, or the order confirmation email.

Where is the Amazon tracking number, if neither of the above have it? Bear in mind that certain items require you to pay extra to provide detailed package tracking, or any kind of tracking at all, which might be why your package isn't present in most postal databases out there. If you're not sure, or if you're certain there is tracking attached to your item, make sure you check out Amazon 's help pages or, if you still have no luck finding it, call Amazon 's customer support.

Tracking numbers on packages intended for the U.S., Mexico and Canada, and thus delivered by Amazon, start with TBA, TBC or TBM, followed by 15 alphanumeric characters. Packages intended for France, Belgium or Netherlands have a tracking ID that starts with CC.
