    TrackingMore SF international tracking status

    Why should I choose to track using TrackingMore over SF International?

    The official website of SF International has an integrated tracking API that is connected to every registered package. The tracking software gets updated each time the package passes a transit point. As a result, customers can track their packages from dispatch to delivery. However, it has certain limitations. 

    Oftentimes, SF International delivers packages as a third-party Logistics Service Provider (LSP). That is, global shipments sent by SF International are handed over to local couriers in the destination country for distribution. If the tracking APIs of local couriers are not integrated with SF International's tracking API, the shipment status within the destination country will not be available in the system. 

    In such cases, a powerful third-party tracking platform, such as TrackingMore, can help customers overcome the limitations.

    TrackingMore is a third-party tracking solution that serves major brands all over the world. It is connected to over 1100 carriers around the world. The vast access to tracking APIs provides seamless tracking of shipments delivered via third-party LSPs. So, no matter how many times the carriers are switched, the end-to-end shipment data will be available on the TrackingMore system. Moreover, it has a user-friendly interface, multiple data sources, 24/7 technical support, fast website performance, and more.

    SF International Tracking Number

    SF International assigns 15 alphanumeric (combination of letters and numbers) waybill numbers to the registered shipments. These numbers serve as tracking numbers for the shipments. The waybill or tracking number can be found on the shipping label or in the confirmation email.

    The tracking number begins with the letters 'SF,' and is followed by 13 numerical digits. Here are some examples of the SF international tracking number.

    - SF0562974501809

    - SF4210278432156

    SF International also allows for tracking using a reference number. To initiate the tracking process, you need to input the shipper's account number, the shipment's reference number, and the date the shipment is picked up. As depicted in the accompanying image, these three fields are essential to kickstart the tracking procedure. Ensure all details are accurately provided for correct tracking results.

    Note: You can check shipment records for up to a 7-day period from the shipment pickup date.
