3. How to track an amazon order with the Reference ID

The Reference ID cannot be used for tracking purposes as it is distinct from the tracking number. A tracking number is a unique identifier assigned to your package at the time of purchase, enabling you to track its progress. Conversely, an Amazon Reference ID is a random number assigned to each customer and order for internal purposes.
