I have been using Parcel for several years. I had never bothered tracking outbound
orders before I had this, but I have found it useful. They notified me that
they are going to limit to 100 tracking numbers per month starting next month.
I did one glance around and found that the competition charges for that many
tracking numbers. I'm...not sure this is something I care enough about to
pay for, but I wondered what the rest of the crowd are using.

Many years ago I used Aftership but they implemented a similar limit. Now I don't
bother, just for high value orders and I use the site https://parcelsapp.com/
it remembers the few lasts numbers used so you can click them and see the status.

100 orders a month.

Don't have need of such an app.

Signed-up (pain in posterior back then) for Informed Delivery via our
USPS account years ago. Get both inbound and outbound notifications with tracking
links, even screenshots of mail. If there's a particular package (over a
certain dollar amount, for example) the progress of which I wanna keep a closer
eye on, we use the USPS feature offered to all, for text updates. Takes seconds

I originally got this app because I had something shipped to me from Europe with
an unfamiliar service and there were very few apps that had that service. I
wound up growing into it. I know there is even a new informed delivery app and
maybe I will just take advantage of the automatic nature of that one and just
use this app for the other things.
