I have been comparing Aftership and 17Track and Aftership is extremely slow. I don’t see information that 17track is already showing in 2 shipments (ChinaPost and USPS)

It syncs with your aftership account, which you can manage from your pc, smartphone or tablet. And it automatically connects to your Amazon.com account if you want to. This did not work with my German Amazon account though.

I use ParcelTrack (from a small company in Berlin) with a premium account, they offer tracking on all devices and you have an inbox email address where I forward delivery mails to, which then extracts tracking info and adds it to the list.
They don’t have an open api though.

Some ideas:

• Manually add tracking numbers to a file on OneDrive or DropBox. The module reads it from there.
• Forward order confirmation mails containing the tracking number to an email address, which the tracking module polls from and extract the shipping number (do they have a standard encoding, at least per carrier?).
• Utilize voice command to dictate the shipping number.
• Hook up my mailbox for order confirmations to IFTTT or Microsoft Flow to process mal and feed the tracking number into a service which the tracking module consumes, e.g. file on OneDrive or DropBox.

I’d love to get your thoughts on this. Thanks!

Yes, I’ve tried but it tells me to check the tracking codes. If I check on 17track they work fine, but it can be that the shipping info is in chinese (issue?) which is then translated into english on 17track. Also how do you input several providers, for example 17track and DHL? If I try DHL alone it also tells me to check the tracking number as well. I doubled checked following the base url link in DHL.js and it reads the tracking code fine.

You mean tracking code yeah? avg international tracking codes for post are usualy format EE123456789XX

We use the last 2 letters to automatically send the request to the correct country
In some cases we use the 2 first letters to select the type of tracking to use
If the country is not supported or you want to select a specific country you can do this manually after tracking

for 17track could be extra awsome… that starts to trace multiple tracking codes if needed…
