GOFO tracking status
GOFO “Shipping Label Created”: what it means
The short answer
Keep an eye on itThe seller has made a label, but GOFO may not have your package yet. On imported orders, shared histories show the first GOFO scan a week or more later, so this line alone does not mean something is wrong.
When to act: If it still says 'Shipping Label Created' or 'Pickup Exception' after 14 days, file a complaint and we send it to the seller.
Also shown as: “Pickup Exception, GOFO has not Received the Package from the Warehouse yet”
What to do now
- 1
Read the date on the line. It is when the label was made, not when GOFO got the package.
- 2
Compare it with the ship date and delivery estimate the seller gave you when you ordered.
- 3
If your order came from abroad, check the store's own tracking, which shows where the package is before GOFO has it.
- 4
Check the address on your order, including the apartment number and ZIP code, so nothing holds the package up later.
- 5
Save a screenshot of the tracking line next to your order number.
- 6
Still not sorted? File your complaint here. We write it with you and send it to the seller, so you do not have to chase it yourself.
What does “Shipping Label Created” mean?
This is the first line on GOFO's tracking page, and GOFO does not define it. It shows that a label exists, not that a GOFO site has scanned the package. On imported orders the package may still be abroad or with the carrier bringing it into the US. In tracking histories people share, one first GOFO scan came 7 days after the label, one package had reached a delivery station 12 days after it, and one showed only the label after 12 days and then moved the next day.
'Pickup Exception, GOFO has not Received the Package from the Warehouse yet' says plainly that the hold-up is before GOFO. One customer reports seeing it for five days while the seller said the package had been handed over, so the two sides can disagree. Neither line means the package is lost.
Why does GOFO show it?
- The seller made the label and has not handed the package over yet
- The package is still on its way to the US or clearing customs
- The carrier before GOFO still has it
- It was handed over but not scanned in yet
How long does it last?
Usually 'Arrived at GOFO Regional Hub', the first scan that shows GOFO has the package. From then on, GOFO gives 1 to 5 days for its GOFO Parcel service and 2 to 8 days for GOFO Ground. Marketplace limits keep running in the meantime: Temu counts 90 days from the order date, and SHEIN 45 days from the payment date.

Who is responsible for a late or missing package from GOFO?
If you bought online from a business, the seller chose GOFO and is its customer, so a late, lost or missing order is in most cases for the seller to put right, with a replacement or a refund. GOFO's own guidance also points to the sender for delayed, lost and returned packages. If you bought on a marketplace, the platform's own rules decide refunds: Temu's shipping terms set a limit of 90 days from the order date for a package that has not arrived or shows as delivered, and SHEIN's set 45 days from the payment date for a late package and 45 days from the delivery date for one shown as delivered.
If you sent the package yourself, your contract is with GOFO or the shipping platform you bought the label through, under the service agreement you accepted. GOFO's Terms of Use say the specific services follow that separate agreement, and the public pages we read give no standard cover amount for a lost or damaged package.
Questions about “Shipping Label Created”
My tracking only says 'Shipping Label Created'. Does GOFO have my package?
Often not yet. The seller made the label, and in tracking histories people share, the first GOFO scan on imported orders came a week or more later. The store's own tracking shows where it is until then.
What does 'Pickup Exception' mean on GOFO?
The line says it plainly: 'GOFO has not Received the Package from the Warehouse yet'. The hold-up is before GOFO, at the seller's or shipper's side, so the seller is the one to answer for it.
The store says it went to the local carrier, but GOFO shows only a label. Why?
GOFO does not explain this. One shared history shows a shipper's tracking saying 'Delivered to local carrier' for a week while GOFO showed only 'Shipping Label Created'. That customer reports the updates came a day later and the package arrived.
