Tracking Shipments

I am using UPS module for shipping my products. is there a way that the customer can receive an e-mail with a tracking number to see the status of there order in transit.

Any one have a clue on how to do this?

Hi

I use the UPS also

On UPS web site after your complete your shipping, go to that customer in shipping/shipping history/ check the box next to the customer name and click on Track
On the next page you can enter your email and your customer email

That the way I do it, if you find any easier way please post it here
Good Luck

Well i gues there isn't a mod that does it for you so i have can up with another way of doing it. If you have a bar code reader connect to your computer you can scanner the ups label to get the traking number. All you have to do is in the page where you update the customers order you click in the comment area enter a comment to your customer says this is you tracking number and then provide then with a link to ups website and let them track it. i guess for now that the best way of doing it.

Woww
Didn't think abut that, I will try it.
Thank You

This will allow you to enter the tracking number in the admin and it will send an email with the tracking number to your customer:

Hi

Hope some one will make it so we don’t have to enter anything at U.P.S site ( lazy me
Thank you for that link

Hello Zinners,

i install that mod and the only issue i have with it is that at the bottom it says Fedex. I use UPS and if i was to use this mod it may confuse my customers. i searched in the code to see if i was able to change it so that it would say UPS but had no luck.

Any thought as where i may find it in the code so i could change it?

Thanks.

From your admin /configuration / ty package tracker, change FedEx to False, and ups to True

Very nice addon.
I use the UPS part of it but didn't want to add the number each time I went to look one up, so I added this link to the UPS section of the module. Admin > Configuration > Ty Package Tracker > Carrier 2 Tracking Link

http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?HTMLVersion=5.0&sort_by=status&term_warn=yes&tracknums_displayed=5&TypeOfInquiryNumber=T&loc=en_US&InquiryNumber2=&InquiryNumber3=&InquiryNumber4=&InquiryNumber5=&AgreeToTermsAndConditions=yes&track.x=15&track.y=12&InquiryNumber1=

This will take you right to the "Track Shipments" page and it will display all the information.

You should all know abut this future in Quick Book (I know it is in 2007 pro)
In this quick book you have all what you have on ups web site, while it get the customer information directly from quick book, and include the tracking.
No more copy/paste customer info in to ups, I use it together with QBI and it is just perfect.
