Who Delivers Hobby Lobby Packages?

Hobby Lobby is one of the largest arts-and-crafts retailers in the US, shipping yarn, fabric, framing, floral, seasonal decor, and craft supplies to homes across the country. Hobby Lobby doesn't run its own parcel network — it hands online orders to national carriers — so the key to tracking a Hobby Lobby order is knowing which carrier was assigned.

Merchandise ordered on hobbylobby.com ships on FedEx or UPS, and Hobby Lobby assigns the carrier for you based on the package's weight and size rather than letting you choose one; the expedited option is FedEx Priority Overnight. There's no single 'primary' carrier — an order can travel on either FedEx or UPS depending on the shipment. The tracking number you receive in your shipping confirmation belongs to that carrier, not to Hobby Lobby, and the email links straight to the carrier's own tracking page. USPS is used only for gift-card orders (sent as First Class Mail), not for regular merchandise.

Hobby Lobby doesn't operate its own same-day delivery service and has no in-house delivery fleet. Same-day availability comes only from third-party apps — chiefly Instacart, with some DoorDash listings — where an independent shopper picks the order from a local store; you follow those in the app, not with a FedEx or UPS tracking number. Hobby Lobby also has no online marketplace and no ship-to-store or in-store pickup program, so every trackable order is a parcel shipped to your address on FedEx or UPS (or USPS for a gift card). This page lists the carriers behind Hobby Lobby orders in 2025–2026 and how to recognize each tracking number. If you'd rather not guess which carrier's site to open, 24hTrack auto-detects the carrier from the number and follows the parcel in a single timeline.

Hobby Lobby Delivery Carriers

FedEx

One of the two carriers behind hobbylobby.com merchandise. Hobby Lobby assigns the carrier based on the package's weight and size — you don't choose it — and the expedited service is FedEx Priority Overnight. A FedEx tracking number is emailed once the order ships, and every FedEx scan appears on FedEx tracking. If your Hobby Lobby number is all-numeric, it's a FedEx shipment. Tracking numbers: FedEx numbers are all-numeric — commonly 12 digits (Express) or 15 digits (Ground)

UPS

The other carrier that delivers hobbylobby.com merchandise. As with FedEx, Hobby Lobby auto-assigns UPS based on the item's weight and size rather than letting you pick it, and emails a UPS tracking number once the order ships. When UPS carries your parcel, every scan is visible on UPS tracking. Tracking numbers: 18 characters — 1Z followed by 16 letters and digits

USPS (gift cards only)

USPS carries Hobby Lobby gift-card orders only — sent as First Class Mail — not regular merchandise, which always ships on FedEx or UPS. If you ordered a physical gift card, its tracking number is a USPS number; a merchandise order will not be on USPS. Paste the number and 24hTrack detects which carrier it belongs to. Tracking numbers: A 22-digit number that usually begins with 9 (USPS IMpb tracking)

Same-Day & Local Delivery (Instacart, DoorDash)

Hobby Lobby doesn't run its own same-day delivery. Where same-day is available, it's provided by third-party apps — chiefly Instacart, with some DoorDash listings — whose independent shoppers buy the items at a local Hobby Lobby store and drop them at your door. You follow these in that app, not with a FedEx or UPS tracking number, and they're a separate service from hobbylobby.com shipping that doesn't produce a parcel number to look up here.

Hobby Lobby Tracking FAQ

Who delivers Hobby Lobby orders?

Merchandise ordered on hobbylobby.com ships on FedEx or UPS, and Hobby Lobby assigns the carrier for you based on the package's weight and size — you don't choose it, and there's no single primary carrier. The expedited option is FedEx Priority Overnight. USPS is used only for gift-card orders (First Class Mail), not merchandise. Same-day availability, where it exists, comes from third-party apps like Instacart and is tracked in that app rather than with a carrier number.

What does a Hobby Lobby tracking number look like?

There's no single 'Hobby Lobby' number — it belongs to whichever carrier was assigned. A UPS shipment is 18 characters beginning with 1Z; a FedEx shipment is all-numeric, commonly 12 digits (Express) or 15 digits (Ground); a gift-card order sent by USPS is a 22-digit number that usually starts with 9. Paste whichever number you have and 24hTrack will detect the carrier for you.

Can I choose which carrier delivers my Hobby Lobby order?

No. Hobby Lobby assigns the carrier — FedEx or UPS — based on your package's weight and size, so you don't pick it at checkout. You can choose a delivery speed (the fastest is FedEx Priority Overnight), but not a specific carrier. This is also why two items from a large order can occasionally arrive on different days or with different couriers, each carrying its own tracking number.

Does Hobby Lobby ship with USPS?

Only for gift cards. Physical gift-card orders are sent by USPS First Class Mail and come with a 22-digit USPS tracking number. Regular merchandise from hobbylobby.com always ships on FedEx or UPS, never USPS. So if your order was merchandise, look for a FedEx (all-numeric) or UPS (1Z…) number — not a USPS one.

Does Hobby Lobby offer same-day delivery, and how is it tracked?

Hobby Lobby doesn't operate its own same-day delivery service. Where same-day is available, it's fulfilled by third-party apps — chiefly Instacart, with some DoorDash listings — whose shoppers buy the items at a local store and deliver them. You follow that order inside the app, and it doesn't produce a FedEx or UPS tracking number. Standard shipped orders are the ones that come with a carrier tracking number you can paste here.

Does Hobby Lobby have a marketplace or store pickup?

No. Hobby Lobby is a single-retailer catalog with no third-party marketplace, so there are no seller-shipped orders, and it doesn't offer buy-online-pickup-in-store. Every trackable hobbylobby.com order is a parcel shipped to your address on FedEx or UPS (or USPS for a gift card), each with its own carrier tracking number.

Does Hobby Lobby ship to Canada or internationally?

No. hobbylobby.com ships within the United States only and doesn't ship to Canada or other international addresses. If you're outside the US, you'd typically use a package-forwarding service — which gives you a US delivery address and then forwards the parcel — rather than ordering from hobbylobby.com directly. Your Hobby Lobby tracking number would then cover the FedEx or UPS leg to that US address.
