Check the status of an Easy Ship package

Learn how to use the Easy Ship API to check the status of an Easy Ship package. This operation allows a seller to view the specified weight, dimensions, time slot, and other details of an Easy Ship package.

The status of a package is updated as events occur for the package. Examples of a few such events include:

A package is provided to an Amazon carrier.
A package has been delivered to a buyer.
A package has been cancelled.
A package was lost in transit.

It is useful to check the current status of a package before rescheduling because packages cannot be rescheduled after they have been given to an Amazon carrier. If you run a rescheduling operation on an Easy Ship package that is in an invalid state, the operation will fail and return an InvalidOrderState code. For all the different states of a package, refer to packageStatus.
