Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries the word seguimiento is the standard term used by postal services and e‑commerce sites for 'tracking'. However, some local couriers may use the verb rastrear or the noun número de rastreo. When speaking formally (e.g., with a customer‑service representative) stick with seguimiento; with friends you can say '¿Puedo rastrear el paquete?'.
