How do I verify an apartment number for a delivery?

Last Updated: March 27, 2025

To verify an apartment number for a delivery, first try using our lookup UnitChecker tool. If you can’t find it, follow these steps:

1. Check the Shipping Address

• Review the confirmation email or order details to ensure the apartment number is included and correct.

• If ordering for someone else, confirm their full address before finalizing the purchase.

2. Use the Carrier’s Tracking System

• Major carriers like USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL allow you to check and update delivery details.

• If the address is incorrect or missing a unit number, some services let you correct it before delivery.

3. Contact the Recipient

• If delivering to a friend or customer, double-check the apartment number with them.

• Ask if their building has special delivery instructions (e.g., concierge, access codes).

4. Look Up the Apartment Complex Online

• Many apartment buildings have online directories or management websites listing unit numbers.

• Google Maps or real estate sites (e.g., Zillow, Apartments.com) may also provide layout information.

5. Call the Building’s Front Desk or Management Office

• If unsure, call the apartment complex to verify the unit number and any delivery procedures.

6. Check the Mailbox or Directory in the Building

• If delivering in person, look at the building’s mailbox labels, intercom directory, or posted resident lists.

7. Confirm with the Delivery Driver

• Some delivery services (e.g., Amazon, DoorDash) allow direct contact with the driver to clarify the address.

If you’re missing an apartment number and can’t verify it, it’s best to contact the sender or recipient before attempting delivery. Would you like help with a specific carrier?
