DHL eCommerce tracking URL from a tracking number
DHL eCommerce (US) tracking numbers follow this format: GM, LX, or RX prefix + digits (20-39 chars), or 5 digits + 5 digits + digits (10-39 chars). ShipShim detects the carrier from the number and returns the direct tracking link.
Example: number in, tracking URL out
| Example tracking number | GM888888888888888888 |
|---|---|
| Tracking URL | https://webtrack.dhlglobalmail.com/?trackingnumber=GM888888888888888888 |
This format is distinctive, so ShipShim identifies DHL eCommerce from the bare number — no hints needed.
