    Buffalo Tracking

    Buffalo packages from China to South Africa can be conveniently tracked to ensure maximum shipment visibility as they head to their destinations with just the tracking number. There are several ways to conduct Buffalo tracking, with this logistics service provider’s website being one of the most commonly used methods. A secure and reliable alternative method is using a robust third-party platform like TrackingMore, which is more detailed and available 24/7.

    This post looks into ways you can track Buffalo shipments with both methods and will explain why using TrackingMore is the better option. You will also learn the crucial role that a Buffalo tracking number plays in helping you keep tabs on the status of your package.

    How Can I Track My Buffalo Package?

    Tracking your Buffalo package is a straightforward process that only requires you to have the item’s tracking number and access to a reliable tracking tool. In this section, we explore two of the most popular ways to stay updated on the status of your Buffalo package.

    • Via the Official Website

    TrackingMore Buffalo tracking status

TrackingMore is a superior tracking solution that integrates with over 1,100 courier systems worldwide, such as Yanwen, China EMS, and DHL, allowing you to comprehensively track multiple packages handled by different logistics companies.

    Buffalo Tracking Number

    Each Buffalo package is assigned a unique tracking ID that enables the shipper and recipient to track the package as it ships from one location to the next. With the tracking number, it is possible to know the different delivery stages the package has passed and the estimated delivery date. The Buffalo tracking number also lets the sender and intended receiver know if the package is experiencing any delays due to customs clearance.

    No two Buffalo tracking numbers are entirely the same. The standard Buffalo tracking number format features characters of mixed numbers and letters. Each tracking number will have the five-letter prefix of “BUFZA” followed by ten digits and a two-letter suffix “YQ” at the end. Buffalo tracking numbers are also called order numbers on the company’s website. Aside from the tracking numbers, Buffalo packages can also be tracked using custom numbers, which also consist of letters and digits. 

    Below are examples of actual Buffalo tracking and custom numbers.

    -BUFZA5101141619YQ

    -BUFZA5100657419YQ

    -VR547608574YP

    -BG2310153728136

    It is important to note that you can only track your Buffalo package’s movement with a tracking number. This tracking number can be found on the postage receipt when the package is registered with Buffalo or in the shipment notification email sent by the company to the recipient. Some invoices issued by the merchant in China may also contain the tracking number.

    Buffalo Tracking Status

    Each Buffalo tracking status displayed in the tracking report when you monitor the movement of your package will have a specific meaning that you must interpret correctly to have a seamless tracking experience and know the whereabouts of your package. The table below lists some of the common tracking statuses and explains them to help with the comprehension of tracking reports.
