Michaels is the largest arts-and-crafts retailer in the US, shipping paints, yarn, framing, seasonal decor, and craft supplies to homes across the country. Michaels doesn't run its own parcel network — it hands online orders to national carriers — so the key to tracking a Michaels order is knowing which carrier was assigned and which delivery channel the order used.
Most standard michaels.com orders ship on UPS or USPS, and Michaels assigns the carrier for you based on the item, weight, and destination rather than letting you pick one; at checkout you choose a delivery speed — Standard, Second Day, or Next Day — not a specific carrier. USPS typically carries lighter economy shipments while UPS handles the faster Second Day and Next Day service, and some orders may travel on FedEx as well. The tracking number you receive in your shipping confirmation belongs to that carrier, not to Michaels, and the email links straight to the carrier's own tracking page.
Michaels also offers same-day delivery from nearby stores through on-demand partners — DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Instacart — which you follow in that partner's app rather than with a parcel number; buy-online-pickup-in-store and curbside pickup have no tracking number at all. Separately, MakerPlace by Michaels — the retailer's handmade marketplace — lets individual makers ship their own orders on USPS or UPS labels they buy themselves, so those tracking numbers come from the seller. This page lists the carriers and delivery methods behind Michaels 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.
The carrier behind Michaels' faster shipping options, including Second Day Air and Next Day Air. Michaels assigns the carrier based on the item, weight, and destination — you choose a delivery speed at checkout, not the carrier — 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
The carrier for Michaels' economy Standard shipping and for lighter, smaller parcels. Michaels' shipping confirmation links to USPS Tracking when USPS handles your order, and every delivery scan appears there. The carrier and number are assigned by Michaels, not chosen by you. Tracking numbers: A 22-digit number that usually begins with 9 (USPS IMpb tracking)
FedEx may carry some michaels.com parcels alongside UPS and USPS. As with the other carriers, Michaels auto-assigns FedEx rather than letting you choose it, and a FedEx tracking number is emailed once the order ships; every FedEx scan then appears on FedEx tracking. If your Michaels number is all-numeric, it's most likely FedEx or USPS — paste it and 24hTrack detects which one. Tracking numbers: FedEx numbers are all-numeric — commonly 12 digits (Express) or 15 digits (Ground)
Michaels offers same-day local delivery from nearby stores through on-demand partners — DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Instacart. A gig driver picks the order at a local Michaels store and drops it at your door, so you follow it in that partner's app (or in your Michaels order status), not with a UPS, USPS, or FedEx tracking number. This is a separate service from standard shipping and doesn't produce a parcel number to look up here.
MakerPlace by Michaels is the retailer's handmade and creator marketplace, where individual makers fulfill their own orders. Sellers buy and print discounted shipping labels from their seller dashboard — restricted to USPS or UPS — so the tracking number on a MakerPlace order comes from the seller's chosen carrier, not from Michaels' own logistics. Paste that number and 24hTrack detects whether it's USPS or UPS.
Michaels offers Buy Online Pick Up In Store and curbside pickup for orders you collect at a local store. Because there's no shipment, these orders don't generate a carrier tracking number — you're notified when the order is ready and pick it up in person. Only orders shipped to your address come with a UPS, USPS, or FedEx tracking number to follow here.
Standard michaels.com orders ship on UPS or USPS — and some on FedEx — and Michaels assigns the carrier for you based on the item, weight, and destination; you choose a delivery speed at checkout rather than a specific carrier. USPS typically carries economy Standard shipments while UPS handles faster Second Day and Next Day service. Same-day orders are delivered from local stores by DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Instacart and tracked in that partner's app. MakerPlace marketplace orders are shipped by the individual seller on USPS or UPS.
There's no single 'Michaels' number — it belongs to whichever carrier was assigned. A UPS shipment is 18 characters beginning with 1Z; a USPS number is a 22-digit number that usually starts with 9; a FedEx shipment is all-numeric, commonly 12 digits (Express) or 15 digits (Ground). Paste whichever number you have and 24hTrack will detect the carrier for you. Same-day and store-pickup orders don't have a carrier number — you follow those in the delivery partner's app or your Michaels order status.
No. Michaels assigns the carrier — UPS, USPS, or FedEx — based on your item, weight, and delivery address, and you select a delivery speed (Standard, Second Day, or Next Day) at checkout rather than a specific carrier. Some items can't use the faster speeds because of size, weight, or your delivery address, which is also why two items from the same order can occasionally arrive on different days or with different couriers, each carrying its own tracking number.
Same-day delivery is fulfilled from a nearby Michaels store by an on-demand partner — DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Instacart. You follow it in that partner's app or in your Michaels order status, and it doesn't generate a UPS, USPS, or FedEx tracking number. Standard shipped orders are the ones that come with a carrier tracking number you can paste here. Michaels doesn't run its own delivery fleet — same-day is handled entirely by those partners.
MakerPlace by Michaels is Michaels' handmade marketplace, and each maker ships their own orders. Sellers buy discounted USPS or UPS labels from their MakerPlace seller dashboard, so the tracking number on your order comes from the seller's chosen carrier — usually USPS Priority Mail or UPS. Paste that number and 24hTrack will detect whether it's USPS or UPS and show the timeline.
No. Buy Online Pick Up In Store and curbside orders aren't shipped, so there's no carrier tracking number. Michaels notifies you when the order is ready and you collect it at the store. Only orders shipped to your address come with a UPS, USPS, or FedEx number you can track here.
No. michaels.com serves the United States only and doesn't ship to Canada or other international addresses. Michaels operates a separate Canadian storefront (michaels.ca) with its own shipping options and carriers, so a Canadian order is placed and tracked through that site rather than michaels.com. If you're outside the US, you'd typically use a package-forwarding service rather than ordering from michaels.com directly.
