You Can Now Track Your Amazon Packages In Real Time
How many times do you check your phone to see how close your package is? Do you find yourself counting down the days, hours, and mintues till your package arrives at your doorstep?
Well now, Amazon is coming up with a way to make our lives less stressful.
Amazon Map Tracker, a feature the company quietly introduced last month, has started expanding to more users in the US, as noted by Android Police and confirmed by CNET. Map Tracker allows customers to watch their package as it travels through the various stages of transit on a real-time map, providing live-updates along the way.
“The Amazon Map Tracking feature is another delivery innovation we are working on to improve convenience for our customers and provide them greater visibility into their deliveries,” Amazon spokeswoman Alana Broadbent told CNET.
As of right now, Map Tracker only works with packages delivered by Amazon’s own logistics network and not those handled by UPS, FedEX, or USPS.
And, as noted above, the feature launched last month and has been slowly making its way to people across the U.S. There’s still a chance that you won’t have access to the tracker yet and, if you’re living outside the U.S., you won’t have access to it.
The e-commerce company has aimed to improve the delivery process for its customers in a number of ways in recent years; taking photos of your front door to alert you when your package has been delivered, Amazon Key—which was rolled out last month, and gives consumers the option of having your Prime deliveries dropped off inside your car.
