Found something pretty efficient that I thought I'd share with you guys. I buy a decent amount of stuff online and get frustrated with having to copy tracking numbers from e-mails or websites and navigate to a separate tab, click the right country, then paste the # in the field. Fortunately the iPhone handles this task very easily by enabling tracking numbers as links in e-mails, websites, etc. Today, I found a cool Firefox Add-on called "Track Package" that does basically the same thing, except you highlight the tracking number and then right-click > Track Package.

Always interested in things to make my life easier, and hopefully this will help someone else :cool:

If you just type into your google search bar the company then the tracking number (eg 'ups 1Z9999W99999999999') Google will give you the first response as a direct tracking page. But this is a little bit simpler, good idea.

You don't even need the company name most times for FedEx and UPS on Google.

I usually use USPS and some of those I think you need it, in any case good to know. Even easier.
