Would be useful to have the tracking number on the website, along with a link
to the courier's site.

Hey hey!

Please take time to read the Help.
Please take time to ask question - and more important to leave time to people
to answer.

Some simple improvements here may take 2 years or more.

This Site is historically complicated, has urgent priorities (like Tax/e-commerce
rules changing every year/Country) - plus a limited Staff and of course budget
(it's cheap here!!!)


Please use the time how it's the best to use it: to get more value of something.

Sellers can already add both in the message box on the order page, along with
any other free form messages about the order.

Sellers already have the option of providing the tracking number. Some shipping
methods don't come with tracking, and not every seller provides the number
even when it's available to them.

Store Settings - Message Templates

In the "Thank you, Drive Thru!" template you can use the tracking number you
enter into order details with ORDERTRACKNO variable. You can embed it into a
link if you want if your tracking site allows it. Once you set it up, it's
just entering the tracking number and sending the drive thru message.

There are tons of different courier people use so it would be a hassle for Bricklink
to get it right. One thing though ; for all those orders utilizing international
postal system there is indeed unified tracking sites like 17track and so on.
Still for Bricklink it should be left to sellers to setup. Before coming to this
Bricklink needs more customization options in the storefront.
