What is the difference between the order number and the parcel number?
An order number and a parcel number are two different things and serve different purposes in the shipping and delivery process.
An order number is a unique identifier assigned to an order when it is placed, usually by the seller or merchant. It is used to track the status of the order, including payment processing, order preparation, and shipping. The order number is typically provided to the buyer by the seller or merchant and is used to reference the order in any communications with the seller.
A parcel number, on the other hand, is a unique identifier assigned to a physical package or shipment by the shipping carrier. It is used to track the movement of the package as it moves through the shipping process, and provides information such as the current location, expected delivery date, and delivery exceptions or delays. The parcel number is typically provided to the buyer or recipient by the shipping carrier and can be used to track the package on the carrier's website or app.
In summary, an order number is used to track the status of an order from the seller's perspective, while a parcel number is used to track the movement of a physical package from the shipping carrier's perspective.
