Automatically Manage Tracking Numbers
jason| February 5, 2008 9:44 amI thought this tip on tracking shipments over at lifehacker was worth comment.
TrackMyShipments is a free service that combines a gateway to delivery company tracking sites with a slick ajax interface. Once you create an account, you can add shipments to be tracked simply by forwarding emails containing tracking information to track@trackmyshipments.com.
If you’re a fan of Gmail filters, you can take this one step further. A quick search through my email for “tracking number” (quotes included) returned only emails from various companies containing shipping information, so I created a filter that automatically forwards any incoming email with “tracking number” in the body to track@trackmyshipments.com. Privacy freaks be warned: anything you email me that contains the phrase “tracking number” will be forwarded on to a third party, so put it on your list of trigger phrases with “kill the President” and “somebody set us up the bomb.”
