Track and get real-time status updates for YWE shipments.
YWE is the tracking prefix used by Yanwen Express, a last-mile delivery company operating in the United States. On its own site, yanwenexpress.com, it says it is "revolutionizing last-mile delivery services in the United States by utilizing top-notch Delivery Service Partner networks nationwide", that it began in Los Angeles in 2024, and that it plans to extend coverage across most of the United States by the end of 2026. It sells to businesses — in its own words, "a large e-commerce company, a local retail establishment, or a growing marketplace" — rather than to shoppers, which is why the name appears on a tracking page rather than at checkout.
Because YWE handles the final leg, its number usually starts partway through a journey instead of at the beginning. On a cross-border order the flight, the export scans and customs all sit under a different number issued by whoever shipped the parcel out; the YWE number picks it up once it is already inside the United States and follows it to the door. The YW prefix here is not the same as the China-export Yanwen numbers that end in YP, which are covered on our Yanwen page.
Ships for: E-commerce companies shipping to addresses in the United States, Retailers and marketplaces outsourcing the final delivery leg, Shippers whose cross-border parcels need a US last-mile carrier
Tracking number format: Seventeen characters beginning YW. Two thirds are the letters YWE followed by fourteen digits; the rest are YW plus a three-letter US hub code such as LAX, DFW or NJC, then twelve digits. Every YWE number seen on the 24hTrack platform was exactly seventeen characters long
Typical delivery time: YWE numbers move quickly once they start reporting, which is what a domestic last leg looks like: on the 24hTrack platform, half of the parcels were delivered within about two days of their first scan and 80% within about five.
Knowing where your parcel is makes it easier to plan the day you collect it. With 24hTrack you don't need an account on YWE's website. Paste the tracking number in the box above and we work out which carrier it belongs to and show you every scan YWE has published, on one page.

YWE is Yanwen Express, a last-mile delivery company in the United States. Its own site, yanwenexpress.com, says it started in Los Angeles in 2024 and delivers through Delivery Service Partner networks nationwide. It is a business-to-business carrier, so a YWE number reaches you because a shop or a marketplace chose it to make the final delivery — you would not have picked it at checkout.
Seventeen characters beginning with YW. The common form is YWE followed by fourteen digits; the other is YW plus a three-letter hub code — LAX, DFW and NJC all appear — followed by twelve digits. Every YWE number we have seen is exactly seventeen characters, so if yours is shorter it has probably been cut short in a copy and paste.
They are not the same number, and that is the part that matters when you are looking something up. A YWE number is seventeen characters starting YW and describes a delivery inside the United States. The China-export Yanwen numbers are thirteen characters ending in YP and describe a parcel leaving China; those have their own page here. Paste whichever number you actually hold — the shape tells you which one it is.
Because YWE covers the last leg. If your order came from abroad, the flight, the export scans and customs all happened under the number issued by the company that shipped it out, and that is usually the number the seller gave you first. The YWE number begins when the parcel is handed over inside the United States, so a short history of only a few days is normal rather than a sign that something is missing.
On the 24hTrack platform, half of the YWE parcels we saw delivered arrived within about two days of their first scan and 80% within about five. That clock starts once the parcel is already in the US network, so it does not cover the international leg if your order came from overseas.
Check the mailbox, any parcel locker, the porch and with neighbours or anyone else at the address, and give it a day — a delivery scan is sometimes filed shortly before the parcel is actually handed over. If it still has not appeared, contact the shop you ordered from. They booked the delivery, so they are the ones who can ask the carrier for proof of delivery and open a claim. 24hTrack shows the scans a carrier publishes, which give a time and a place but not the exact address, the name of whoever took it, or a photo.
