Hello Everyone, I have requested my check via DHL for the first time. It already says Payment in my Payment History page but there is no tracking number to track the status of shipment. Do they provide tracking number? If yes then from where we can find it? Thanks for any help in advance. Edit: Ok everyone, the mystery has been solved. I'll quote my post which I just made so that people don't find difficulty to find the solution.
IN your payment history you will see this: Payment Number: xxxxxxxxx the "xxxxxxxxxx" represents your reference number
Thanks for your reply. I think the "Payment Number" doesn't refer to tracking number of DHL shipment as it says when I enter that number to track the shipment.
Wow, why does everyone feel they need to reply to a thread when they have no idea what they are talking about? You will get a tracking number 5 days after your payment is sent.
Thanks fryman, I figured it out too after searching a lot in Google Help center. https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=30892&topic=8452 Thanks everyone..
I usually do refer to the reference number when I call up DHL to know whether my cheque has arrived and I do get an airway bill no for the same from the customer care.
I am myself in India and soemtimes the normal check arrives on 9th when I request it on 2nd. Just 7 days.
Request?? I never knew you could request a cheque off google If you are talking about normal cheques via courier they take about 4 days to reach india - mumbai..
Ok Guys, I figured out a huge mystery And hopefully it will also help you. On your country's DHL website, Go to tracking page and find a link which says, "DHLTracking by Shipper's Reference ". For example, For Pakistan it is http://www.dhl.com.pk/publish/pk/en/eshipping/track/sref.high.html Go to that link and enter your Reference number which you got in Adsense account on Payment page. You'll get detailed info about your shipment status. You'll also get Airway Bill no. Happy tracking
Good to see the same thing online Though I always call their customer care (its toll free) to know the airway bill no
Sufi, check your google payment page now, and click on payment you will see DHL tracking number there, I assume that they give you tracking number in case of you do not receive it, so you can further investigate the issue. Official responses from google support below. &
Yeah! I know that they provide AWBN before 5th of next month but what is the use of tracking number after the check has been delivered. You can track the shipment using customer reference number on the same day your check has been sent.
Tracking will be usefull incase you do not receive your check. I do not understand what do you mean by customer refernece number ?
strange, wasn't India the land of Buddha? Why do you worry so much about your check ... forgot about the true value of life ?
Customer reference number is your check number which you can get on the very first day of payment from payment history page. You can easily track your shipment using that reference number even before they put up the Airway bill number.
