📦 Can You Track Without a Tracking Number? (Reference Number Tracking)

Yes ✅. UPS allows reference number tracking, but with limited visibility:

  • Basic shipment details will be shown.

  • Full tracking details are available only to senders or accounts linked with the shipment.

A reference number might be your order number, phone number, or another identifier provided by the shipper.
