Are you expecting one or more shipments from FedEx or UPS ? You can quickly track the exact location of these packages using just your email address.
Compose a new email message on your desktop or mobile phone, keep the subject blank and type all the different shipment tracking numbers in the body of the message.
If that package is shipped via FedEx, address the email to track@fedex.com while in case of UPS, the message should be sent to totaltrack@ups.com.
Send the email and within seconds, you’ll know the status of your shipments. Extremely useful when you have a mobile phone with email but no Internet access.
Other than email, you can also use twitter to get live updates for your shipment from FedEx, UPS, USPS or DHL.

Really helpful! But I wonder how this will work on Twitter. There would be so many updates there to figure out yours!

Not really something that works when “you have email but no internet” but there are few good ones for Mac — Delivery Status — link being the best so far.
It even can send out growl notification.

Dear sir,
Hope doing great.
I had one I-20 from university of kansas which they are trying to sent me through FedEx. But Fed Ex people are unable to trace my postal pin code.
Actually i gave my correct pin code which is 52325 ( country- India). I even recieved some documents from USA through fedex courier earlier. So can you please check up what is the problem in tracing this pincode.

Postal Department as changed the pincode from 6 digit to 8 digit.Please get in touch wit the nearest post office.

The best way I’ve always followed is: Simply Google the tracking number. Google automatically detects the shipment carrier and displays the direct link to your shipment on the results page. Click on it and it takes you to the respective web page where you get to see the tracking details. Simple, ain’t it? Hail Google!!!

Sir, I have received a notice of money available for me from a Mr.James Evans. He said the money is being held with FedEx for pickup by me. The email goes on and on and I know it’s a scam. I’ve received these before but I was wondering if you were aware that FedEx is being used in the scam? This is the first time I’ve seen it. Thanks! Polly
