Google can Track your FedEx, UPS, USPS & DHL Packages!

Yes, you heard me right! Google does Searches, Email, Maps, etc. But did you know Google could also track your packages for you? Have you ever ordered something online, received a tracking number, but did not know if it was a UPS, FedEx, USPS or DHL tracking number?  No problem for Google! Goto Google.com or, if you use the Google toolbar it is even easier. Just punch the tracking number into the search box, and click search, no need to enter anything else, Google knows all!

Google will then return a result like this:

Track FedEx package 4933 1613 0047 959 www.fedex.com

Just click it! then you will be brought to the correct carrier that the tracking number belongs to, and hopefully you will see this:

Delivered

On this page you will also see, ship date, delivery date, weight, reference, and method of shipping.(Ground, Next Day, 2nd Day, etc.)

So go give it a try!

Happy Tracking!

How to Beat the High Cost of (Expedited) Parcel Shipping!

Here's another great tip! Do you ship time sensitive packages? Does your customer need it, like now!?  How would you ship it if they needed it in 2 days?

From the linked article:

"...let’s say that you want to ship a package on Monday and get it to your customer by Wednesday. Which service would you use? Many would choose a service like UPS 2^nd Day Air or FedEx 2 Day service. Others might use US Post Office Priority Mail. What if you want to be sure that it gets there and choose the most economical service?"

You may be surprised at the service that is most economical, and Guaranteed to be there on time.
