Packages, Boxes, and Bags

Arjue recently won a bunch of US auctions on ebay and a bunch of us stepped up and offered to mail him stuff in the future.

So I got to thinking, maybe TNL could share its vast wealth of shipping knowledge.

My tip of the day!

http://www.packagetrackr.com

this site will track any package shipped by any shipping provider that has a tracking number.

Hey! Lets track my package from germany!

It traveled from Albersdorf to Neumunster in 7 hours!

This site is neat and all, but what's it do that UPS's tracking feature doesn't? Give you a map of where your stuff is? Who cares? It still ain't on your doorstep.

ALSO: WHAT IS WITH SITES DROPPING LETTERS FROM THEIR GODDAMN NAMES?! Tumblr, Filckr, Captur. Now this? Bah.

Uhhhh maybe I'm missing your point but you're entering a DHL tracking on a UPS website.

If you entered tracking on DHL and compared it with PackageTrackr, I can see. Or comparing UPS tracking on UPS' website with PackageTrackr.

Have to agree with Buttcheeks, PhD.

Wow you guys missed the point. COMPLETELY.

Thanks for that info, 'Cheeks.

This thread is definitely going places.

No, I get it. It can track ALL shipping companies. I've never done business with DHL, but do they not send you an email with a link to their tracking service? UPS does, and it works fine.
