Track delivery times for packages

To track delivery times for packages effectively, you can follow these methods:

1. Use Carrier Tracking Tools

Most shipping companies provide real-time tracking services:

Simply enter your tracking number to get the latest status, estimated delivery time, and history.

2. Delivery Management Apps

Apps like the following help you monitor multiple shipments across different carriers:

  • ParcelTrack

  • 17TRACK

  • AfterShip

  • Shop (by Shopify)

They provide push notifications and organize delivery timelines.

3. Spreadsheets for Manual Tracking

If you manage multiple packages or run a business:

  • Create columns: Tracking Number, Carrier, Shipped Date, Expected Delivery, Actual Delivery, Status.

  • Update status regularly with information from carrier sites.

4. Automation Tools

If you’re tech-savvy or managing logistics at scale:

  • Use APIs from major carriers (e.g., UPS, FedEx, USPS).

  • Integrate with services like Zapier to auto-update Google Sheets or notify Slack.
