Pass The Parcel

[Musicmanager]

Hi Guys

If you're like me and buy the odd item from our colonial brethren you might also share my frustration at the number of different websites often needed to track a shipment.

I came across this site https://t.17track.net/en recently and it seems capable of tracking shipments regardless of the source or carrier.

I have 3 shipments en route from different sources in China at present involving different carriers but I have up to date tracking for all 3 on this site.

You might find it useful .. .. .. ..

Impressive!

I just tried one within the UK that's due today (with DPD) and it got that, so it's not restricted to Asian carriers, either.

Just tried it with a package from Microchip to Australia via Fedex and it found the package. Seems I'll get my Pickit4 on Wednesday \o/

Thanks.

Mike.

I've tried various tracking sites for parcels from China, and they never seem very good at all - most you get seems to be "it's been dispatched" followed by "it's been delivered". But to be fair, even some of the big UK/USA carriers have crap tracking as well "your parcel will be delivered to day between 9:00AM and 8:00PM" - thanks a lot for that!

A VERY few have good tracking, such as 'some' Amazon deliveries - "your parcel is x drops away" - and shows a map where it is.

I guess those are the kinds of problems one experiences when living in a technology limited country. Ask your politicians to fund research, encourage new technology startups. The only think I ever hear about UK technology is people trying to repair electronics that the rest of the world considers disposable.

Since I keep a diary on my computer, I've used this site:

Tracking URL's (many carriers)
http://www.erchov.com/ShipmentTracking.asp

and then directly enter the tracking URL which includes the tracking ID into my diary.
