What is a shipping reference number?
A reference number is a number you assign to a shipment yourself, for example your order number. It helps you link a shipment to your own transaction.
The shipping carrier assigns the tracking number. The reference number comes from you. Depending on the carrier, it appears on the label or in the shipment data.
A reference lets you quickly find the relevant order when handling queries, without having to match up tracking numbers.
