Wow that's pretty cool... I haven't read about it before. I wonder if it does the same with DHL, ParcelForce etc... Or maybe it's just a backhander deal
I haven't come across package tracking before, but if a place includes an address in their e-mail, it now gives you the option of viewing maps. Pretty nifty!
I dont think its new. I got a similar message a few weeks ago after receiving some "Your item has been dispatched" email from ebay seller.
