The benefit of third-party apps is that they can aggregate tracking details for all the major delivery services in the same interface, so you can see at a glance the status of all your inbound (and outbound) packages without changing apps. While you can rely on Amazon's own order tracking tools to stay informed about your delivery details, you might consider using a third-party app instead. Items sold through Amazon Marketplace might sometimes lack tracking info because Marketplace sellers may not provide Amazon with tracking information. This will delay availability of tracking info. Occasionally there are logistical delays in updating the tracking database.

Some kinds of shipments, such as Standard International, are not trackable and you will not see tracking info before delivery. When this happens, you might not have access to tracking info until very close to the delivery date. In some cases, such as when there's a very high shipping volume, the first scan for a package may not occur until it arrives at a regional hub near the destination.


It can be a frustrating experience to find there's no tracking info for an Amazon package, or the tracking info does not appear to be updated and accurate.
