Solving Atlantic Express tracking issues
As with shipping from one country to another, you might have the occasional Atlantic Express tracking issue. Let’s review the most common problems and how to resolve them.
Why you can't track Atlantic Express
If Circuit Package Tracker shows an error message that your number doesn't exist or your order cannot be found, don’t panic.
The courier needs to scan your package into the Atlantic Express system, so you should wait and try again later.
If you've had this status for a few days, there may be an issue with your tracking number. In that case, contact the sender and Atlantic Express customer service for help.
Why your Atlantic Express package is not updating or moving
Many things can happen during transit; the most likely reason a package stops updating is that a worker at Atlantic Express needs to scan the barcode, or it is between facilities on its route.
Another reason is that the delivery truck could be delayed at any point. Heavy traffic, bad weather, and vehicle problems are all common causes of delays.
Other times, the courier is delayed because of the volume of packages at the facility, like during the holidays.
The distribution facilities are likely overloaded if you’ve placed an order around a busy time, like Christmas. So your package will sit longer than usual at the facility.
Atlantic Express tracking status explained
Do you find tracking statuses confusing?
Don't worry; we've got you covered! Next, we'll explain some of the most common tracking statuses Atlantic Express uses, so you can understand what's happening with your order.
In transit
If your package status is ‘in transit,’ the Atlantic Express courier has scanned it, and your order is coming to you.
Once you find this status, you should find more specific updates on your package’s location shortly.
Why your Atlantic Express package is still in transit
There are a few reasons why your order is still in transit, even though it was sent a few days ago.
For instance, your package may have been damaged, lost along the way, or the tracking tool is malfunctioning.
The cause of a package being in transit longer than expected can differ significantly between domestic and international order tracking.
Domestic orders usually don't need security checks, and the transit time is about as long as the travel distance.
However, if your order is international, a security checkpoint can halt its progress if flagged. This usually happens as customs.
Orders usually don’t get delayed when passing through customs, but the stop can easily take longer than anticipated.
The customs office may need you to pay duty on the item(s) in your package
You should find out if you must pay duty as soon as possible because the office might only hold the order for up to 30 days.
How long an Atlantic Express package can stay in transit
A package delivered by Atlantic Express can arrive sooner than the scheduled delivery date, but domestic deliveries often take two to five days.
If your domestic Atlantic Express order is still in transit after five days, you should contact customer support so they may find into the situation.
As for international orders, packages usually stay in transit between two and 14 days, depending on the destination and sending speed.
It’s unusual, but your international package may be in transit for up to a month due to the distance it needs to travel and any delays it may incur.
Since 30 days is an extreme case, it’s a good idea to contact Atlantic Express if your international order is still in transit after 14 days.
Pending
If your package shows the ‘pending’ status, the courier is still processing your order You’ll get this as the first update when you get your tracking information.
Don’t be alarmed if you notice this status; your order is on its way, and you will soon start to get updates.
‘Pending’ could also appear at the end of your tracking updates, meaning the delivery is pending.
In this case, the courier will attempt redelivery or leave directions for you to pick up your package at a local post office.
Why your Atlantic Express package may be pending
If the ‘pending’ status is your first update, the sender is preparing to send your order. This type of status will usually be updated within 24 hours.
If your package stays ‘pending’ for longer than 24 hours, contact the sender, as they may need more information, or your order was overlooked.
If the ‘pending’ status is one of the last updates, the courier will likely reattempt delivery if they don’t leave a note for you to pick up your package somewhere.
Wait to find out if your package is delivered the next business day. If not, you’ll need to contact Atlantic Express to find out where your package is and how you can pick it up.

Atlantic Express delivery times
Delivery times for Atlantic Express orders can vary as multiple couriers may handle your package. In most cases, the delivery time for standard shipping will fall within a specific range.
What time will your package arrive?
Delivery within India will take two to five business days. Of course, you can anticipate it within 24 hours if it's same-day delivery.
You should expect to get your package during regular business hours. On weekdays, Atlantic Express delivers from 9 am to 6 pm.
How late Atlantic Express delivers
The latest you’ll get a delivery is 6 pm. So, if the estimated delivery day has come and your package hasn’t arrived by 6 pm, it will arrive the next business day.
International Atlantic Express delivery times
International deliveries are trickier since each country will have a different courier handling your Atlantic Express package.
Usually, international deliveries will arrive at the same time as your regular mail. If your mail delivery comes around the same time every day, you can expect your package at that time.

Lost and missed Atlantic Express deliveries
The most frustrating thing about deliveries is not getting your package when you expect it.
Sometimes packages get lost in the mail or stolen from your doorstep, or you’re not home to get the delivery.
Here’s some information on what to do in these cases to lessen your stress.
What happens if you miss an Atlantic Express delivery
If you miss an Atlantic Express delivery, it’s usually not a big deal. If your package contains nothing that needs to be signed for, the courier will leave it at your doorstep.
While this is convenient, as your package will be waiting for you at home, porch pirates have increased in recent years.
If your status shows that your delivery is complete, but your package isn’t at your door when you get home, contact the police to report it.
Alternatively, your package might contain items that need to be signed for, or you may have requested that your package only be delivered if someone signs for it.
If this is the case, and no one is home, the courier will reattempt delivery the following business day or leave you a slip with information on where to pick up your package.
How long will Atlantic Express hold a package?
If your package gets taken to a local pickup location, then Atlantic Express no longer has your package. So, technically, it will be the pickup location holding your package.
Post offices and pickup locations generally hold packages for 14 days. If you don’t pick up your package within 14 days, it will either be destroyed or returned to the sender.
The note left by the courier usually has the specific timeframe you must pick up your package written somewhere on it. So, make sure to read the fine print!
What to do if you haven't got your Atlantic Express package
It depends on what you think happened to your package.
If you think your package was stolen, you must contact the police.
If you believe the courier will reattempt delivery, you must wait for the next business day and try to stay home between delivery hours to get your package.
If you’ve got a note to pick it up somewhere, bring a piece of ID showing your address when retrieving your package.
