Parcel Tracking FAQs
Everything you need to know about tracking your UrgentGo delivery.
Your tracking number is sent via email and SMS immediately after your booking is confirmed. It starts with "UG-" followed by a series of digits. You can also find it by logging into the UrgentGo portal at portal.urgentgocourier.co.za.
Tracking is updated in real time at every scan point — collection, arrival at facility, departure, and delivery. For same-day deliveries, updates happen every 30–60 minutes. You also receive automatic SMS and email notifications at each milestone.
For same-day deliveries, "In Transit" means your parcel is en route and should arrive the same day. For overnight deliveries, it means your parcel is moving between cities and will be delivered the next business day. Check your booking confirmation for the estimated delivery window.
Tracking updates happen at scan points. If your parcel is on a long-haul route between cities, there may be a gap of a few hours between scans. If it hasn't updated in more than 24 hours, contact our support team on 010 023 4832 or email support@urgentgocourier.co.za.
Yes — anyone with the tracking number can track the parcel. If you're the recipient and don't have the tracking number, ask the sender to share it with you, or contact our support team with the sender's details.
Our driver will leave a notification and our team will contact you to arrange a redelivery or alternative collection. You can also call us on 010 023 4832 to reschedule. We hold parcels for up to 5 business days before returning to sender.
Yes. Proof of delivery is available for all UrgentGo shipments. Log into the portal or contact our support team to request a POD. It includes the recipient's signature, delivery timestamp, and GPS coordinates.
