XDP Express Tracking: Track Your Parcel & Check Delivery Status
CARRIAGE TRACKING – All-in-One Courier Tracking Service
XDP Tracking
For XDP Express tracking, you need two things: the consignment number from the retailer and the delivery postcode. Enter both in the tracker above, on xdp.co.uk or in the XDP app. XDP is a UK carrier for large and heavy items such as furniture, beds and garden equipment. For delivery problems, contact the retailer first, because XDP deals directly with senders.
Ordered a sofa, a mattress or a garden shed online and been told it’s coming with XDP? XDP Express tracking works a bit differently from tracking a small parcel. You need your postcode as well as the tracking number, deliveries come in a two-hour time slot, and most issues are handled through the retailer rather than the carrier.
This guide covers who XDP is, how to track your delivery, what each status means, and what to do if something goes wrong.
Who Is XDP Express?
XDP (still widely known as XDP Express) is a UK parcel and freight network that specialises in large and non-standard items, known in the industry as irregular dimension and weight (IDW) freight. It was formed in 1995 to move high-value electronic equipment, and now works mainly with large online retailers delivering bulky goods to homes.
XDP describes itself as the largest privately owned parcel and freight carrier in the UK. Its network has 2 central sortation hubs and 15 corporate depots, plus a nationwide fleet of delivery partners. It covers mainland England, Wales and Scotland, as well as Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Wight.
Because XDP sorts freight by hand rather than on conveyor belts, it’s often chosen for items that are too big, heavy or awkward for standard parcel networks.
XDP Delivery Services
Service | Max weight | Max length | Typical items |
|---|---|---|---|
1Man | 50 kg | 3.2 m | Flat-pack furniture, flooring, blinds |
1+ | 75 kg | 3.5 m | Heavier boxed goods |
2Man | 150 kg | 4 m | Sofas, beds, mattresses, large garden items |
XDP also runs YOVOY, an on-demand delivery portal for same-day and ad-hoc jobs.
XDP Express Tracking: How to Track Your Parcel
XDP Express Tracking via Carriage Tracking
If your order is split between several couriers, which is common when one large item and a few small accessories ship separately, Carriage Tracking lets you follow them all in one place.
XDP Express Tracking on the Website or App
- Go to the Track page on xdp.co.uk, or open the XDP app.
- Enter your consignment number and the delivery postcode.
- Click Track Parcel.
The app also lets you reschedule a delivery, leave notes for the driver, follow the van live on the day, and view delivery confirmation.
XDP Express Tracking Number
XDP calls its tracking number a consignment number. The retailer creates it when they book the delivery, and the format varies by retailer, so there’s no single pattern to look for.
Where to Find Your XDP Consignment Number
Your order number and your XDP consignment number are often different. If tracking returns nothing, check you’re using the delivery reference, not the order reference.

What Happens on Delivery Day
XDP’s process is designed for home delivery of bulky goods:
- Collection: the retailer’s freight is collected by the local depot and scanned into the network.
- Manual sortation: it’s sorted by hand at a central hub and sent to your delivery depot.
- Routing: the depot routes and loads your item. On the morning of delivery, you’ll get a two-hour time slot.
- Live tracking: you can follow the driver and get a next-stop notification before they arrive.
- Delivery: you can sign on your own device. The delivery confirmation includes photo evidence and the location it was delivered to.
XDP Express Tracking Status Meanings
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Manifested / Booked | The retailer has created the consignment, but XDP hasn’t collected it yet. |
| Collected / At hub | It’s in the XDP network and being sorted. |
| At delivery depot | It’s at your local depot, waiting to be routed. |
| Out for delivery | It’s on the van. Check the app for your time slot and live tracking. |
| Delivered | Delivered successfully. Photo and location proof are usually in the app. |
| Carded | The driver tried to deliver, but no one was available to accept it. |
| Check Address | The driver couldn’t find the property and needs more information. |
| Service Fail | Something outside XDP’s control (breakdown, traffic incident, bad weather) stopped the delivery. |
| Consignment Split | The depot has received only part of your order from the supplier. |
| Return | The item is going back to the sender. Contact the retailer. |
The Carded, Check Address, Service Fail, Consignment Split and Return definitions come from XDP’s own FAQs.
How Long Does XDP Express Delivery Take?
XDP is a next-day network, but large items are usually delivered on a date agreed with the retailer or booked through the app, not on a fixed transit time. Deliveries to Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Wight and remote parts of Scotland can take longer. Shipments to Jersey and Guernsey also need a commercial invoice from the sender.
If the agreed date passes with no update, check the app first, then contact the retailer.
Why Is My XDP Express Tracking Not Updating?
No new scan doesn’t mean your item is lost. Large freight often waits at a depot until its delivery slot.
Delivered But Not Received, or a Missed Delivery?
XDP Express Customer Support
XDP works directly with the senders, so the retailer is your first point of contact for delays, damage, missing items or refunds. For a tracking query, you can also use the Delivery Query form on xdp.co.uk or email trackingupdates@xdp.co.uk with your consignment number and postcode.
XDP vs Other UK Large-Item Carriers
XDP’s closest rival for two-person home delivery is Arrow XL, which also handles furniture and white goods. Some retailers send heavy business goods with DX Delivery, or smaller boxed items with UK Mail or TNT UK. Parts of a mixed order may arrive with Royal Mail or, for heavier parcels, Parcelforce.
