What is OnTrac?
OnTrac is a last-mile delivery company that carries e-commerce parcels to your door in the United States. It started as a West Coast regional carrier and, after merging with LaserShip, now delivers across much of the country. Retailers use it as a faster, cheaper alternative to the national carriers. You can follow deliveries on the official OnTrac site or in one app.
Why am I getting a package from OnTrac?
Because a store you ordered from chose OnTrac to deliver it. You do not pick the carrier — the retailer does, usually for speed or cost. If you did not order anything, it may be a gift or worth checking with the store.
How to track an OnTrac package
- Find your OnTrac tracking number in your order details or shipping email from the store.
- Enter it once in Package Tracker. The app detects the carrier automatically, so you do not have to hunt for the right site.
- Follow live updates and get an alert when your package is out for delivery.

Where to find your OnTrac tracking number
Your number is in the store's shipping confirmation email and your order account. OnTrac tracking numbers are usually around 15 characters and often start with a letter such as C or D. A LaserShip-style number (for example one starting with 1LS) now tracks through OnTrac too.
How long does OnTrac take to deliver?
OnTrac is a regional ground carrier, so most deliveries arrive in about 1 to 4 business days, faster within its core regions and a little longer for cross-country shipments. These are typical estimates, not guarantees.
Never miss an OnTrac delivery
Package Tracker re-checks your OnTrac parcel automatically and alerts you the moment it is out for delivery, next to all your other orders.
Why your OnTrac tracking is not updating
- Just shipped. A new label can take a day for its first scan.
- Between facilities. Tracking can go quiet while the parcel moves between OnTrac depots.
- Missed scans. Parcels are not scanned at every step, so brief gaps are normal.
If the number will not load at all, here is the fix: tracking number not working. If it is scanning but stuck, see package stuck in transit.
Is OnTrac legit and reliable?
Yes. OnTrac is a legitimate, established US delivery company, not a scam. As a regional carrier it is reliable for most parcels, though delivery experience varies by area and delays cluster around peak periods. A genuine tracking number always scans somewhere; one that never scans, or arrives outside your official order, is the real red flag.
What to do if your OnTrac package is late or missing
Check the last scan and estimated date first. If it says delivered but you do not have it, check around your door and with neighbours, then wait a few hours, as drivers sometimes scan early. If it is well overdue, contact the retailer you ordered from, since they can open a case with OnTrac or arrange a refund.
