I stumbled across this cool LifeHack from (where else) LifeHacker that allows you to track your package via email. "Send a blank-subject email with tracking numbers in the body to track@fedex.com or totaltrack@ups.com, and a few seconds later, you'll have a response with the latest status of your package. We've covered several tools for tracking your packages in the past, but this technique might come in particularly handy when you've got the tracking number in your inbox and you want a quick status update, particularly from a cell phone." Since we are in the corporate fulfillment business, we already have a handful of tools that allows us to track packages, however, I like the simplicity of using email on the run to track a package (instead of navigating through websites).
If your company store or corporate apparel store does not have simple features like the ability to track packages or automatically send tracking numbers once a package has shipped, you can pass this tip on to your audience. Post this idea on the front page of your corporate store or in the help section on your store site.
Cool hack!
