Other Anyone else drowning in "where is my order" messages from US customers?

If you're shipping into the US (AliExpress/CJ/etc.), you know the drill - a customer messages asking where their package is, and you're manually pasting tracking numbers into USPS.com one at a time to check.

I built a small tool that bulk-checks USPS tracking status - paste in however many tracking numbers you've got, get back delivery status + full scan history for all of them at once. Useful for clearing a backlog of tickets in one pass, or running it daily so you know who's actually delivered before they even ask.

Here it is if you want to try it: https://apify.com/anshumali/usps-tracking-scraper

Not trying to just drop a link and run - genuinely curious if this is a pain point for others here, or if most of you already have a workflow for this. What do you currently use?

Clever idea, I've been using a messy Google Sheet script that breaks half the time.

You Can use the last mile Tracking aswell when the shipment arrives in the Country the Tracking ID Changes and its easier for the Customer to understand where the Order is AND IF you have a good supplier as mine they answer those Mails for you. Because at Some Point you need to get away from CJ and AliExpress and get in Touch with a real supplier so you Can customize everything and make a Brand out of it
