tracking packages

varianvarian Member Posts: 2,258 ✭✭✭✭

i enjoy tracking things that i have ordered online. currently im watching a package from Iowa it is currently traveling thru South Dakota on its way to Miss. one of my favorites is a company in Columbia Mo. it will usually go to KC and then go between Ks an Mo three or four times before it heads southeast. i guess all this proves i have a very dull life.

    Yeah, it amazes me sometimes a package will bounce back and forth across the metroplex about 70 miles each way 2 or 3 times before it comes to my house about 30 miles from the first bouncing start... you are not alone...

    Or have it rolling along nicely being driven from the East Coast, only to have it come to a dead stop in Colorado for three or four days.

    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    Well first "liar" doesn't have a chance. I sent a rifle magazine from USPS in Illinois and it went to Chicago, THEN to JAPAN, where it sat a couple days and came to New York and then a few other places until it got to OHIO! I REALLY the package went around the world in 12 days, ought to be a movie if I added 68 more to it.

    I am down to my last two rifle size shipping boxes, but there are more that were to be delivered between 9 and 11 am this morning. UPS even has a little thingy where you can track the very truck upon which is the thing you are waiting for. OK. They sent me an email that the truck was very near. I drove the thirty miles back to my house to grab the boxes. Well as I write this it is 9:17 pm and my boxes are out there somewhere.

    "i guess all this proves i have a very dull life."

    Almost sounds like a new REALITY show in the works! I swear TV producers think entertainment is defined in low levels of dullness!

    I use https://www.packagetrackr.com/ which has a very clever "bookmarklet" that will detect all tracking numbers on a page - such as an email saying your box has been shipped. And then it tracks the box for you. It tracks every shipper I'm aware of, and it's free.

    Lately, it has been having errors, but that may be due to the browser I'm using. Overall, it works better than even the carriers websites themselves.
