Cultural Note

Poste Italiane's online tracking (tracciamento online) was introduced in the 2000s and significantly improved customer trust. However, tracking data is not always real-time — updates can lag by 24–48 hours, especially for international shipments. The SDA courier arm of Poste Italiane offers more granular tracking for commercial parcels.
