About Pósturinn
Pósturinn, known in English as Iceland Post, handles mail and parcels in Iceland. Recipients can collect from post offices or Póstbox parcel lockers. Parcels bought online from abroad can go to a locker too, but Pósturinn says you must register for that and give a means of paying customs fees first.
Customs is often the step that slows things down. Parcels from abroad can wait for an invoice, and Pósturinn says clearance is quicker when the sender puts the invoice on the outside of the shipment. If that information is missing, the parcel is held and you’re notified by letter or email. Import fee and invoice steps appear as their own events in the tracking.
Kargo Radar reads the service behind Pósturinn’s tracking page and asks for English. It also answers for foreign postal numbers on their way to Iceland. Scans made by the sending country’s post can be an hour or two off, because they may carry local time labelled as UTC. Kargo Radar is an independent app and isn’t affiliated with Pósturinn.
What do Pósturinn tracking numbers look like?
You’ll find the tracking number on the label, the shipping receipt or the shipping details the sender gave you. The examples below only show the format.
Foreign postal number
Example format
CP123456785PL
A number from another country’s post, ending in that country’s code. It works here when the parcel is heading to Iceland.
Pósturinn says the number is most often 13 characters long and is usually in the seller’s shipping email. On a notice of an international shipment, it’s at the top right, under the barcode.
Is the carrier detected automatically?
Kargo Radar’s automatic check treats a number ending in IS as an international post item, not as Pósturinn specifically. Use this page, which has Pósturinn selected, to go straight to Iceland Post’s data.
How to track Pósturinn packages with Kargo Radar
See where your package is in a few steps, and hear about it when the status changes.
- 01
Enter the number
Paste your tracking number into the form on this page. The form already has Pósturinn selected and takes you straight to the results.
- 02
Pick the carrier
Pósturinn numbers look like other carriers’ numbers, so Kargo Radar doesn’t guess. Choose Pósturinn from the carrier list in the app or on the tracking page.
- 03
Follow every event
Each scan is listed on a timeline with its date (and time, when the carrier provides one), and the overall status is summarized as one of six standard statuses.
- 04
Get notified
Save the package to your list in the Kargo Radar app and you’ll get a notification on your phone when its status changes. Packages from other carriers sit in the same list.
What do the tracking statuses mean?
Kargo Radar turns each carrier’s own status wording into six standard statuses, so packages from different carriers read the same way. Each event keeps the carrier’s own description in the history, or an English rendering for carriers that only report in their local language.
- Shipped
- The carrier has registered the shipment or picked it up from the sender. It may not have left yet.
- In transit
- The package is moving between facilities, countries or customs.
- Out for delivery
- The package is out for delivery, or it’s waiting to be collected at a branch, post office or pickup point.
- Delivered
- The package was handed to the recipient or collected from the pickup point.
- Delivery failed
- A delivery was attempted but not completed. The carrier’s next step shows up in the event history.
- Returned
- The package is on its way back to the sender, or it has already been returned.
Good to know about Pósturinn statuses
These appear in English in Pósturinn’s tracking:
- Registered/mailed abroad
- The sending country’s post has the parcel. It hasn’t reached Iceland.
- Arrived in destination country
- The parcel has reached Iceland and can still have customs steps ahead.
- Waiting for Invoice
- Clearance is on hold until the value is documented. Send your invoice or receipt to Pósturinn.
- Import fees calculated
- The duties and charges have been worked out. Payment comes next.
- Arrived at post office
- It’s at the post office, ready for you. Pósturinn recommends collecting within 10 business days.
- Delivery booked
- Pósturinn has recorded the delivery, and Kargo Radar counts this as delivered. If you don’t have the parcel, contact Pósturinn.
Pósturinn customer support
Contact Pósturinn about customs clearance, fees and pickup in Iceland. For a parcel that hasn’t shown up, talk to the seller or the sending post first, because Pósturinn says a number missing from its system means the parcel hasn’t reached Iceland. It also says it can’t answer questions about parcels in customs abroad; those go to the customs authority in the country of origin.
Kargo Radar can’t pay fees, submit an invoice or book a delivery. Those steps happen with Pósturinn directly, through its request forms or app.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about Pósturinn packages.
How can I track a parcel with Iceland Post?
Paste your number into the form above. Kargo Radar shows Pósturinn’s events in English with the overall status on top. Save the parcel in the app if you’d like a notification when something changes.
Where do I find my Pósturinn tracking number?
It’s usually in the seller’s shipping confirmation email. If you received a notice about an international shipment, look at the top right under the barcode. Most numbers have 13 characters.
Are the events on Kargo Radar live?
Your search asks Pósturinn’s service directly, so you see what it currently holds. Anything not yet scanned won’t be there, and a parcel can sit between two steps without showing an update.
Pósturinn doesn’t recognize my number. Why?
Pósturinn says that a number that doesn’t appear in its system usually means the shipment hasn’t arrived in Iceland yet. Give it more time, and in the meantime track it with the sending country’s post.
What do I do when it says Waiting for Invoice?
Pósturinn asks you to submit the tracking number with an invoice, receipt or the sender’s confirmation of value through its customs clearance request form. Clearing the parcel then lets it move on to delivery.
How long do I have to collect from a Póstbox?
Pósturinn says you get an SMS, email or app notification with a QR code and PIN, and then have 3 days to collect. Post offices are different, with collection recommended within 10 business days, after which storage fees apply.
Why don’t the times on my parcel’s events add up?
Some scans come from the sending country’s post. Those can show that country’s local time, labelled as UTC, so an event may look an hour or two out of place. The order of the steps is what matters.
