Sam's Club is a membership warehouse club owned by Walmart, and it doesn't run its own parcel network for online orders. When you order a small or medium item on SamsClub.com, it's handed to one of the national parcel carriers — FedEx or UPS — and Sam's Club assigns the carrier automatically based on the item, its weight, and your address. You choose a shipping speed at checkout, not a specific carrier, so two items from the same order can arrive on different days with different couriers, each with its own tracking number. After an item ships you receive a separate email with the tracking number, which can take a day or two to start scanning.
Large and bulky items are handled differently. TVs, furniture, mattresses, major appliances, and other heavy goods ship by freight (LTL) rather than small parcel. Once the freight carrier has the order, they contact you to schedule a delivery appointment — usually a multi-hour window on a weekday. Sam's Club offers delivery tiers such as White Glove (unpacked and placed in your room of choice, packing removed), Threshold (into the first dry area like a garage or entryway), and Commercial. Because these deliveries are appointment-based, a large-item order shows scheduling status instead of a FedEx- or UPS-style stream of scans, and there's usually no standard parcel tracking number to paste into a carrier's site.
Same-Day orders run on two different services. Sam's Club Delivery is Sam's Club's own service, fulfilled from your local club — including an Express option as fast as one hour — and you pay in-club prices. Separately, Sam's Club also offers same-day delivery powered by Instacart, where an Instacart shopper picks and delivers your order. Both are followed as live order status and notifications in the app rather than a carrier tracking number, so there's no separate number to look up. SamsClub.com serves the United States only — it doesn't ship internationally or to APO/FPO military addresses, and Sam's Club Mexico (sams.com.mx) is a separate site with its own local carriers. This page lists the carriers behind Sam's Club 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.
One of the two national carriers Sam's Club uses for parcel-shipped orders. When FedEx is assigned, the item travels on the FedEx network with scans available on FedEx tracking. Sam's Club assigns the carrier automatically — you generally can't request FedEx specifically. Economy ground services may hand the final mile to USPS in some areas. Tracking numbers: Usually a 12-digit number; FedEx Ground shipments use 15 digits, and Ground Economy parcels can carry a longer 20–22-digit number
The other national carrier Sam's Club assigns to parcel-shipped orders. UPS moves the item from the fulfillment center to your door with every scan visible on UPS tracking. As with FedEx, the carrier is assigned by Sam's Club rather than chosen by you. Tracking numbers: 18 characters — 1Z followed by 16 letters and digits
Sam's Club doesn't list USPS as a primary shipping carrier, but a USPS number can still appear when a FedEx Ground Economy shipment hands its final mile to the Postal Service — most common on lighter items and harder-to-reach addresses. In that case the parcel finishes on the USPS network with delivery scans on USPS tracking. Tracking numbers: A 22-digit number that usually begins with 9 (USPS IMpb tracking)
For TVs, furniture, mattresses, and major appliances, Sam's Club ships by freight (LTL) through a designated delivery carrier rather than small parcel. Instead of a stream of parcel scans, the carrier contacts you to schedule a delivery date and window. Service levels range from White Glove (into your room of choice, unpacked, packing removed) to Threshold (first dry area) and Commercial, so these orders show scheduling status and usually have no standard parcel tracking number to look up on a carrier's site.
Sam's Club's own same-day service, fulfilled from your local club and available within delivery range of a club. It includes an Express option as fast as one hour, and you pay in-club prices rather than a marked-up rate. It's followed as live order status and notifications in the Sam's Club app and website — not a carrier tracking number — so there's no separate number to paste into a tracker.
Sam's Club also offers same-day delivery powered by Instacart, where an Instacart shopper picks your items at a local club and delivers them within the window you choose. It's followed in the Instacart app as live order status rather than a carrier tracking number, so like Sam's Club's own delivery there's no separate number to look up.
For parcel-shipped items, Sam's Club uses FedEx or UPS and assigns the carrier automatically based on the item, its weight, and your address. Large and bulky items — TVs, furniture, mattresses, appliances — ship by freight and are delivered on a scheduled appointment, while Same-Day orders are delivered either by Sam's Club's own delivery service or through Instacart. Whichever parcel carrier is on your order is the one that brings it to your door.
There's no separate 'Sam's Club' number — the tracking number belongs to whichever carrier was assigned. A UPS shipment is 18 characters beginning with 1Z; a FedEx shipment is typically 12 digits (FedEx Ground uses 15, and Ground Economy can be a longer 20–22-digit number). If a FedEx Ground Economy parcel finishes on USPS, you may see a 22-digit USPS number that starts with 9. Paste whichever number you have and 24hTrack will detect the carrier for you. Freight (large-item) deliveries and Same-Day orders are followed by scheduling or app order status instead of a carrier number.
Sam's Club doesn't name USPS as one of its standard parcel carriers — small-parcel orders go out on FedEx or UPS. A USPS tracking number can still turn up when a FedEx Ground Economy shipment hands its last mile to the Postal Service, which is most common on lighter items. So a pure Sam's Club-to-USPS shipment is uncommon; if you have a 22-digit number starting with 9, it's usually that FedEx-to-USPS handoff.
Big and bulky items ship by freight rather than small parcel. After the freight carrier receives your order, they contact you to schedule a delivery date and window. Sam's Club offers delivery levels including White Glove (brought into your room of choice, unpacked, with packing removed), Threshold (into the first dry area such as a garage or entryway), and Commercial. Because it's appointment-based, a large-item order shows scheduling status rather than a FedEx/UPS scan history, and there's usually no standard parcel tracking number.
Same-Day orders are followed as live order status in the app, not with a carrier tracking number. If you used Sam's Club Delivery, check the order status in the Sam's Club app or website; if you used the Instacart option, follow it in the Instacart app. You'll get notifications as the order is picked and on its way. Because there's no FedEx/UPS number, a same-day order can't be looked up on a carrier's tracking site — only parcel-shipped orders have a carrier number.
SamsClub.com serves customers in the United States and doesn't ship internationally. It also doesn't deliver to APO/FPO military addresses. Sam's Club operates a separate site in Mexico (sams.com.mx) with its own local delivery carriers, so an order placed there is delivered by that country's couriers rather than shipped across borders. Some US territories and address types can also be excluded on certain items, so check the shipping details on the product page.
A newly shipped Sam's Club order can take a day or two before the carrier scans it, so early quiet is normal — especially over weekends. Once it's moving, the carrier on the label (FedEx or UPS) shows the scans, and can confirm where a parcel is if it stalls well past its estimated delivery date. For a large-item freight delivery, check the scheduled delivery status; for a Same-Day order, check the Sam's Club or Instacart app order status instead.
