My new small project parcelcheck.co.za

[koeksGHT]

I manage a bunch of other Facebook pages but never had one for this.

Well here it is

If some of the online shops partake maybe we can post daily/weekly tech and gadget promos on the page!

Hey everyone, updated the API for seamless integration with e-commerce stores tracking

There is a tracking heartbeat <3

 

[Pooky]

I used this service for my parcel the other day, works well thanks, only thing is it seemed the email updates were late compared to the tracking info available on SAPO's site.

Pooky, I found that SAPO would receive a package at a post office early in the morning. For some reason they sometimes update their system about 4-5 hours later. The info on their system shows the package arrived 07:00, but their tracking info were only updated 11:45. So, just keep that in mind too.

This, I think it's due to the branches syncing tracking info at different times. My delivery notification only came at 6 where I collected at 2pm

But I'm talking about going on to Sapo's tracking page and putting in the tracking number. Sometimes that was updated before I got an email.

Okay, that may depend on how many times per hour / day Koeks has set his system to check for updates.

 

[Soprono]

Bit much to have them 24/7 I think, helpful yeah for sure but practical for them.... Haha its asking too much

The daemon runs every 30 minutes for updates.

Had it less before but saving bandwidth now as I was using couple hundred GB's pm

Integrated the live tracking results into mytracker for both normal users and API users with some nice drop down effects Also added to the API the ability for integrated tracking for e-commerce sites.

Hi Koeks, like the site. Will use it next time I am waiting for something.

I was going to recommend you get a Facebook page to help spread the word, but see you already have. I can't see any links to it from the site though, might be worth getting a few 'like' buttons on there.

Also, not wanting to be picky but think good spelling really helps people to trust a new site: there is an 'e' missing from completely in the Get Email Updates section of the home page.

Hey, yeah on the tracking page is a "recommend" and once you click track there is a facebook image.

Haha, changed. Should actually check spelling on whole site, notepad doesn't have spellchecker

So after quite a bit of improvement and some time put in over the months(late early mornings) and with the help of MyBB members, I would like to finally officially release ParcelCheck and open up for business The E-commerce API is available supporting HTTP and JSON for easy integration of tracking results to any courier based platform, online shop, etc. Email based status updates are available and management in your account myTracker. You are welcome to demo the API if you wish to integrate it.

Track courier services from the South African Post Office, SpeedServices, Aramex, Fastway, Supaswift, RAM, Courier Guy and more with email status updates.

As pic above soon we will be releasing a mobile app for those Android users(and other platforms next)

We are constantly expanding with more couriers so if you have any tracking code examples you can send to us

Happy tracking!

My ride

DHL and UPU added, some minor changes/updates to style and feel.

Good things coming

New rating system added to vote for your favorite couriers on tracking pages!

Haha thanks.

Forgot to mention I updated the SAPO module a while ago so now you get local tracking numbers from the international ones no more calling them
