FAQs about Kiribati Post Tracking

1. What types of Kiribati Post packages can be tracked?
Primarily, Express Mail Service (EMS) packages from Kiribati Post can be tracked. Standard mail and regular parcels may not always have comprehensive end-to-end tracking capabilities, especially for international destinations, unless sent via EMS.

2. How do I find my Kiribati Post tracking number?
Your tracking number is provided to you at the time of mailing. It is typically found on the receipt or shipping label issued by Kiribati Post when you send an EMS package.

3. What should I do if my Kiribati Post tracking status is not updating?
If your tracking status is not updating, first allow 24-48 hours for the initial scan to appear. If there are still no updates after this period, it could be due to transit delays, customs processing, or a lack of real-time scanning at intermediate points. You should then contact Kiribati Post directly using their provided phone number or email address for further assistance.

4. Can Kiribati Post track international inbound shipments?
Yes, Kiribati Post handles the delivery of international inbound shipments. For EMS items arriving in Kiribati, tracking can often be continued via the global EMS Post tracking portal (www.ems.post) or third-party trackers, as long as the sending country provides tracking data. However, updates may be less frequent once the item arrives within Kiribati’s domestic network if it’s not a fully tracked service.
