Typically, a DPD reference number consists of a combination of letters and numbers. When you receive this number, you can enter it on the DPD website or use their mobile app to track your package, see its current location, and check the estimated delivery date.
If you're expecting a package shipped with DPD but haven't received a reference number yet, you can contact the sender or DPD's customer support for assistance.
