In today’s rapidly changing marketplace, the logistics of getting a customer’s order to its destination is truly a miraculous feat. At any given time, there is an unimaginable number of packages in transit around the globe. The invention of the computer has facilitated the timely tracking of this glut of product transportation. Hand scanners, bar codes, invoice numbers, PRO numbers, PO numbers and bills of lading are now commonly used to accurately pinpoint the location of any parcel or shipment at any given moment. Through the use of cleverly constructed Internet websites, carriers have automated parcel tracking, thereby reducing the effort to child’s play.

Wood’s Powr-Grip ships its products according to our customers' specifications, routinely using UPS, FedEx, Con-Way Freight and YRC to deliver orders. To make it easier for customers to track their orders, we have incorporated a Track Shipments page into our website. On virtually every page of our Internet site, a link to this page can be found on the site navigation menu at left, under the heading “Service & Support”. Clicking the Track Shipments link will take you to a page with the logos of UPS, FedEx, Con-Way Freight and YRC.

To track a shipment from Wood's Powr-Grip, simply click on the logo of the carrier you selected to ship to your organization. In order to properly track your shipment, you will need to have on hand one of the following numbers (depending on the carrier): the Purchase Order number, the Bill of Lading number, the Order Number, the PRO number or the Tracking Number. Enter the information required into the appropriate area of the tracking form, and click the "TRACK" button ("GO" in the case of YRC). You will be supplied with detailed information regarding the whereabouts of your order.

We know how frustrating it can be when you don’t know the shipping status of your order. The inability to reach someone on weekends or holidays (especially during our extended Holiday Shutdown) can add to the frustration. In order to better serve you and to reduce this frustration, it is our sincere hope that you will explore the Track Shipments page of our website. It’s available for your use 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.

If you are having difficulty locating the link, or if you require assistance negotiating the forms, please feel free to contact one of our Technical Sales Representatives.
