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

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.
