About DAO
DAO, also known as dao, is a Danish delivery and logistics company operated by Dansk Avis Omdeling A/S. The company is known for parcel delivery, letters, magazines, newspapers, eCommerce shipments, home delivery, daoSHOP pickup and drop-off points, and delivery services across Denmark.
DAO’s delivery network includes home delivery and parcel-shop delivery through daoSHOP locations. For many shipments in Denmark, DAO focuses on convenient last-mile delivery, including delivery to homes, mailboxes, doors, nearby safe locations, or pickup points depending on the service selected by the sender.
DAO also offers services for sending parcels in Denmark and to selected European countries through its international parcel service. If your parcel was shipped by an online shop, marketplace, retailer, or private sender, your tracking details may show DAO delivery events, pickup information, or partner-carrier updates depending on the route.
Track Your DAO Parcel Online
To track a DAO parcel, enter your tracking number, parcel number, shipment number, or e-label code in the tracking field on this page. After submitting the number, the tracking system checks for available shipment events and displays the latest delivery status.
You can use DAO tracking to check:
- Where your DAO parcel is now
- Whether the parcel is in transit
- Whether the package is ready for pickup
- Whether delivery has been attempted
- Whether the shipment has been delivered
- Whether the parcel is delayed or not updating
- Whether more action is needed from you, the sender, or DAO
For the best result, copy and paste the tracking number exactly as shown in your shipping confirmation, seller email, DAO notification, app, or parcel receipt. Avoid adding spaces, extra symbols, or unrelated order details.
Where to Find Your DAO Tracking Number
Your DAO tracking number is usually provided after the sender creates or ships the parcel. If you ordered from a webshop or online store, the tracking number may appear in your shipping confirmation email, order details page, delivery notification, or message from the seller.
You may find your DAO tracking number in:
- Shipping confirmation email
- Webshop or seller order page
- DAO parcel notification
- DAO app
- Shipping receipt
- e-label confirmation
- Return label or return instructions
- SMS or email delivery update
- Parcel pickup message
Do not confuse your webshop order number with your DAO parcel number. An order number identifies your purchase with the seller, while a DAO tracking number identifies the parcel in the delivery network.
DAO Tracking Number Format
DAO parcel numbers can appear in different formats. A valid DAO parcel number may be a 9-digit number, a 13-digit number starting with 7, or a 20-digit number starting with 00057. DAO tracking may also accept a 9-digit e-label code.
| Number or Code Type | Where You May Find It | Can You Use It for Tracking? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9-digit parcel number | Shipping confirmation, DAO app, sender message | Yes | Common for DAO parcel tracking |
| 9-digit e-label code | E-label or shipping purchase confirmation | Yes | Can be used when tracking or sending label-free parcels |
| 13-digit number starting with 7 | Shipping email or parcel notice | Yes | Use the full number exactly as shown |
| 20-digit number starting with 00057 | Parcel details, DAO support request, tracking notice | Yes | Often useful when contacting DAO customer service |
| Webshop order number | Online shop order page | Usually no | Use only if the seller links it to a parcel number |
| Pickup code | DAO app or pickup notification | Not usually for tracking | Used to collect a parcel from daoSHOP or pickup location |
If tracking does not work, check that you are entering the actual DAO parcel number, not only the shop order number, invoice number, or pickup code.
DAO Delivery Status Meanings
DAO tracking statuses help explain where the shipment is in the delivery journey. Exact wording may vary, but the following table explains common parcel tracking statuses in simple terms.
| DAO Tracking Status | What It Usually Means | What You Should Do |
|---|---|---|
| Information received | The sender has created shipment details, but the parcel may not yet be scanned | Check again later after the sender hands over the parcel |
| Parcel received | DAO or a delivery partner has received the parcel | Wait for the next movement update |
| In transit | The parcel is moving through the delivery network | No action is usually needed |
| Out for delivery | The parcel is expected to be delivered or attempted soon | Be available or check the delivery location |
| Ready for pickup | The parcel is available at a daoSHOP or pickup point | Use your parcel number and pickup code if required |
| Delivered | The shipment has been marked as delivered | Check your mailbox, door, safe place, household, or pickup confirmation |
| Delayed | The parcel is taking longer than expected | Recheck tracking and contact the sender or DAO if the delay continues |
| Delivery attempted | Delivery was attempted but could not be completed | Check for instructions, pickup notice, or updated delivery details |
| Returned to sender | The parcel is being sent back to the sender | Contact the seller or sender for next steps |
| Not found | The number was not recognized or has not updated yet | Verify the number and try again later |
Why Your DAO Tracking Is Not Updating
DAO tracking may stop updating for several reasons. In many cases, this does not mean the parcel is lost. Tracking may simply be waiting for the next scan or delivery event.
Common reasons include:
- The sender created the shipment but has not handed over the parcel yet
- The parcel has not received its first scan
- You entered a webshop order number instead of the DAO parcel number
- The number contains a typo, missing digit, or extra space
- The parcel is moving between facilities without a new scan
- An international shipment is waiting for a partner-carrier update
- The tracking system has a temporary delay
- The parcel is already delivered but the notification has not reached you yet
If the shipment is new, check again later. If the tracking has not changed for an unusually long time, contact the sender first, especially if the order came from a webshop. The sender can confirm whether the parcel has been handed over to DAO.
What to Do If Your DAO Parcel Is Delayed
If your DAO shipment is delayed, start by checking the latest tracking status and verifying that the parcel number is correct. Some delays happen because the parcel is waiting for handover, sorting, delivery route assignment, pickup-point processing, or partner-carrier movement.
Use this quick checklist:
- Re-enter the tracking number without spaces or symbols.
- Check your seller’s shipping confirmation.
- Make sure the parcel has actually been handed over to DAO.
- Check whether the parcel is going to a home address or daoSHOP.
- Review any SMS, email, or app notification for delivery changes.
- Contact the sender if the shipment was purchased from an online shop.
- Contact DAO customer service if you have the required parcel details.
When contacting support, keep your 20-digit parcel number ready if available. It helps customer service identify the shipment more accurately.
DAO Tracking Says Delivered but Not Received
If DAO tracking shows delivered but you cannot find your package, check the delivery area carefully before opening a support request. DAO home deliveries may be placed in a mailbox, by the door, in a safe nearby location, or according to the delivery method selected for the parcel.
Check these places first:
- Mailbox
- Front door or doorstep
- Door handle or delivery bag
- Safe place near the entrance
- Building reception
- Parcel room
- Household members
- Neighbor or shared delivery area
- daoSHOP pickup notification
- Delivery email or app update
If the parcel still cannot be located, contact the sender or DAO with the tracking number, delivery address, and delivery date. If the shipment came from a webshop, the seller may need to start the investigation.
DAO App, Notifications, and Pickup Code
The DAO app can help users follow parcels, receive shipment notifications, view pickup details, and manage parcel information. Parcels may be added automatically when a shipment is created, depending on the details connected to the recipient.
The app may help with:
- Tracking DAO parcels
- Viewing shipment updates
- Receiving delivery notifications
- Checking parcel number and pickup code
- Viewing previous and upcoming deliveries
- Buying shipping
- Finding daoSHOP locations
- Managing label-free parcel sending
If your parcel is going to a daoSHOP, the pickup code is important. A pickup code is usually used to collect the parcel, while the tracking number is used to check shipment progress.
daoSHOP Pickup and Drop-Off
daoSHOP is DAO’s parcel shop network for sending, dropping off, and picking up parcels. If your shipment is sent to a daoSHOP, tracking may show that the parcel is ready for pickup once it reaches the selected location.
For daoSHOP pickup, you may need:
- Parcel number
- Pickup code
- Recipient details
- Delivery notification
- Valid identification, if requested by the location
daoSHOP is useful when home delivery is not suitable, when the parcel is too large for a mailbox, or when the recipient prefers to collect the package at a convenient pickup point.
DAO Home Delivery
DAO home delivery is used for parcels sent directly to the recipient’s address. Depending on the shipment and location, the parcel may be delivered to the mailbox, door, doorstep, or another suitable place near the address.
If your tracking status says out for delivery, keep checking the delivery area and tracking updates. If the parcel cannot fit in the mailbox or cannot be delivered as planned, the status may change or the parcel may be routed according to DAO’s delivery process.
DAO International and European Parcel Tracking
Some DAO parcels may be sent internationally through DAO’s European parcel services or partner networks. International tracking can take longer to update because the parcel may pass through multiple systems, border processes, or delivery partners.
If your DAO parcel is going abroad, tracking may show fewer updates during handover between carriers. Continue checking the tracking number, and contact the sender if the shipment does not move for an extended period.
DAO Customer Service and Support
For DAO parcel issues, use your tracking number or 20-digit parcel number when contacting customer service. This helps the support team identify the shipment and review parcel details.
DAO customer service details:
| Support Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Customer service phone | +45 72 33 08 50 |
| Parcel support email | kundeservice@dao.as |
| Phone hours | Monday to Friday: 8 AM–7 PM |
| Weekend phone hours | Saturday and Sunday: 8 AM–4 PM |
| Useful detail to provide | 20-digit parcel number |
Contact the sender first if your shipment was purchased from a webshop and the parcel has not yet been handed over to DAO. Contact DAO when the parcel is already in DAO’s network or when tracking shows a DAO delivery issue.
