It’s that time of year when many of us are doing our holiday shopping online. The sheer number of packages being delivered is astonishing! It’s amazing to me that anything actually gets where it is supposed to go!
Packages arrive at my house form a variety of different shippers and are delivered by any number of delivery services. If I want to check on the status of the delivery I have to keep the tracking information email where I can readily find it, which is a pain.
So, I was delighted to find “Deliveries” on the Apple App Store (I found a similar app for Android phones. Read on to get it’s link)
The app costs $4.99 which is a bit pricey for an iPhone App, but I think the time that I spend looking up the tracking email, clicking the link and waiting for the tracking website to open is worth the 5 bucks.
The following info is from their website:
Deliveries helps you keep track of all your packages, so you always know when they’re going to arrive. Whether it’s the latest gadget you’ve preordered online, or a new graphic novel you can’t wait to dive into, Deliveries will keep tabs on it so you don’t miss the doorbell.
The main list shows a summary of all your shipments and counts down the days. Select a delivery for more information, and see where it is on a map. If you like you can view the shipping company’s web page, or easily share your shipment over email, iMessage, or AirDrop. Deliveries can even add estimated delivery dates to your calendar, and a Notification Center widget lets you quickly check your packages without opening the app. All your old deliveries are archived so you can look them up again if you need to. An Apple Watch app is also included so you can see the latest updates with just a glance.
Deliveries supports dozens of services, including UPS, FedEx, US Postal Service, DHL, TNT, Canada Post, and many more. You can also track orders from services like Amazon and Apple, even before they ship. (Some services are limited to specific countries—visit junecloud.com/services for details.) If you have packages from other services, just select “Other” and enter a delivery date and web site—so you can check on them when you need to and still keep everything in one place.
Deliveries is also available for Mac. You can sync your deliveries between devices with iCloud or our own Junecloud sync. If you create a Junecloud account, you can add new shipments from any web browser.
