Mailing List for updates now available

I have a set up a mailing list if you would like to receive emails when ShipTrack or its source code is updated. You can sign up for two types of notifications:

  1. Source code updates
  2. Addin updates

Click here to join.

Sign up for both if you like. By default you should receive addin updates only. Per my website TOS, no emails will be shared.

Please note that these are only notification emails, you still need to go to the Download page for the actual addin and/or source code.

As usual, you can check the Announcements forum or the blog for updates. Both have RSS feeds you can subscribe to and receive instant notification in your RSS reader.

Update to ShipTrack 4.2.4

I have updated ShipTrack 4.2.4 as follows:

Two new carriers were added – CMA-CGM and Safmarine. For both of these, the tracking number must be the Container number.

I have also corrected a minor FedEx issue, which was a side effect of the previous fix. The addin was returning the name of the person who signed for the package, but not the delivery date. Now it returns both.

Visit the Download page to get the update.

Please note that the source code download does not contain any of the new code from this or the previous update. As time permits I will upload the source code.

ShipTrack 4.2.3 now available

I have just completed work on ShipTrack 4.2.3. You can download it from the Download page. You can also download the updated source code from that page.

New carriers:

  • TCIXPS
  • Blue Dart
  • Rworld Couriers

On request, I have added these three carriers. Thank you to those individuals who provided tracking numbers to make this possible. I am also working on integrating Purolator, and refactoring the existing code. Purolator has an API, but it seems the marketing department has taken over because they require an account and I can't get them to understand that this is a third party tool. :roll:

Visit About for a complete listing of supported carriers.

Thank you to everyone who has downloaded the addin and contributed something towards its development.

As usual, I feel obligated to remind you that without fresh tracking numbers, even for the existing carriers, it is impossible to maintain this tool. I have listed some potential new carriers here, but without tracking numbers I cannot add them. Any tracking numbers you can send in are used to make sure the tool is working as expected. Thanks in advance for your support!

New forum coming soon

Apologies to the folks who registered at the forum, but due to numerous spam registrations, I've switched the forum software from phpBB to MyBB. Please be patient while I set up the new forum. Thanks.

Another update for ShipTrack 4.2.2 now available

An update to ShipTrack 4.2.2 is now available. Visit the download page for the addin as well as updated source code.

Please note that DHL support has been removed. They have stopped shipping domestically in the U.S. for some time now, and now their website has become difficult to parse. It was easier to simply remove DHL than implement some awkward parsing of their website that would probably require more effort than it is worth.

A problem with USPS shipping was identified thanks to some helpful users, and I believe I fixed both issues.

A new carrier has been requested, that will be my next goal (barring any issues with existing carriers in the near future).

ShipTrack 4.2.2 update

An update to ShipTrack 4.2.2 is now available, visit the Download page to get a copy.

UPS LTL tracking is now possible. If you have a LTL freight tracking number with UPS, you can use it just like any other UPS tracking number. Please report any issues via email or forum.

Thanks to Patrick Kehoe for sending in sample tracking numbers to make UPS LTL tracking possible!
