How To Check The Status Of Your Delivery From Postmates

You can check the status of your delivery using the Postmates mobile application. The location details that you entered when making your order are what will be used during delivery. You need to enter your address if possible since a location tracker can be erroneous sometimes.

After placing an order, the Postmates customer application will tell you when and where Postmates will deliver your product. You will also be sent a text message stating the time this company will take to deliver. It is possible not to get your order during the specified time. However, you can check the status of your delivery using the following steps.

  1. Log in to your Postmates mobile application. Contact Postmates if you experience any difficulties when logging in.
  2. Go to the tracking screen. Here, you will be able to see the progress of your delivery. The screen will have a map with your location and the location from which your order is coming.

You will see other things on this page; a car icon, a green square, and a red one. The green square shows where your order is coming from. If you only see the green square and red square on your screen without the car icon, the ordered product has not yet been picked.

If you see a car icon in the same place as the green square, it means that the delivery man has gone to pick your product but has not started his journey to you. The icon will begin moving once the driver has started his journey towards you.

You will also see a green bar on the bottom side of your map. How far the bar is from the right corner show how close the driver is to you. After your order is delivered to you, the bar will extend entirely to the left side. Also, the car icon will be in the same position as the red square.
