I have all my packages delivered to a site away from my house so they aren’t sitting on the front porch getting drenched in Seattle drizzle. That includes both personal packages and the stuff I get from companies who want me to review their products. Some of these packages are time sensitive, but I don’t want to hit refresh every 20 minutes to see if the Out for Delivery notification is switched to Delivered. Parcel Tracker solves that problem, adding pending packages from FedEx and UPS as calendar items in Outlook. Parcel Tracker checks the online services for me on a schedule, providing notification via Outlook’s appointment reminders when the package shows up as delivered. Outlook XP or 2003 are required for functionality. [Windows 9x/2k/XP $0.00]
