Santa Tracker for the Great Brown Truck

[Mtneer]

It's nerdy but fun. If you're signed up for UPS My Choice, they send you an email for incoming packages and it includes a link for "Follow My Delivery." You can get live updates on where the truck is with your package. Like a kid waiting for Santa, you can watch the truck get closer and closer...faucets for the bathroom remodel so not quite as exciting as a new toy.

USPS is pretty good with their email updates on when a package is out for delivery and when it was dropped off. This is very important for me since they don't come to the house and our box is a couple miles away. Sucks when companies use SmartPost so they trade off from FedEx to USPS for final delivery.

I don't get updates from FedEx but thought I signed up for it (need to investigate). Less important since they deliver to the door.

The only one I get notifications from is FedEx

I hate using the "Follow My Delivery" feature - but do it every time.

In a past life I must have offended UPS. Every time I'm awaiting a delivery, I watch the truck on the map & I see the truck pass my subdivision street (about 6 houses down) 2 separate times and even watch (and saw it in person) the truck coming down my street then turn away from my home at the intersection (I'm on a corner lot) -- each time the truck LEAVES my subdivision, only to return to tease me a couple of hours later. According to the "Follow My Delivery" app, the truck I'm watching avoid my home is the one my package(s) is on. Very frustrating.

I just order so much stuff from so many different places that I couldn?t possibly keep up with tracking everything so I just don?t bother.

I get notifications from FedEx. The closest tracker I've seen is from Amazon where they update you and let you know how many stops until your house. They also give you map where you follow the truck to your house.

If you knew how many times I say "no shit" to an Alexa notification after the fact
