Track Your Packages… Better.

I can’t believe I’ve gone years tracking my purchases via your standard sites – fedex, ups, usps – where the output is completely text-based (and therefore boring… get with the times shipping companies!)

So, while anxiously awaiting the arrival of a special package, I found a new friend- BoxOh. Boxoh not only finds what carrier your tracking number matches up to (because you know how sometimes the carrier name isn’t given) but overlays the information on a google maps interface.

What’s interesting is that boxoh displays more up-to-date and detailed information than what I could find on the fedex site- just another reason to use it!
