AWB vs Order ID — Which Number to Track
Difference between marketplace order IDs and courier AWB numbers, and which one works for live parcel tracking in India.
Order ID belongs to the store
Meesho, Flipkart, and Amazon order IDs identify your purchase in the marketplace. They are not always the same as the courier AWB.
AWB belongs to the courier
Live hub scans are keyed to the AWB (or LR / consignment). For best results, track with the courier number shown under Track package.
Which should you paste?
Prefer AWB/FMPC/TBA/consignment for courier status. Use order ID only when your seller explicitly says it doubles as the tracking reference.
Enter your AWB / waybill number.
Select a courier if auto-detect does not work.
