TrackBot: Parcels Under Watch

Is a parcel in its third week of travel, and you refresh a carrier's website every day? TrackBot ends that ritual: you send the code once, and the bot tells you when something changes. 📦

It is a free bot for tracking shipments. It works right inside Telegram, and the prompts and replies arrive in your language.

One code, then no manual work

Paste the tracking number, and the bot tries to work out which delivery service carries the parcel. According to the project, detection accuracy is above 97%, so you rarely have to choose by hand.

Then it checks the carrier's system about every 20 to 30 minutes and messages you when new data appears. For services that provide it, it also shows the expected delivery date.

Commands worth knowing

The menu is small and easy to remember. Each command does one thing.

• /track. Add a new parcel by its code.
• /list. See all your shipments in one list.
• /share. Share a parcel with someone else, for example the person waiting for it.
• /modify. Rename a shipment or change the carrier if the bot guessed wrong.
• /remove. Delete a parcel once it is received.
• /language. Change the bot's language.

The /cancel command stops an action you started, and /help leads to the guide.

Nine languages and many carriers

The bot speaks English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and Ukrainian. The language is chosen from your device settings and can be changed at any time.

The list of supported carriers is published on the project's site. It covers postal operators and courier companies from various countries, but it does not promise that every service in the world will work. If yours is not on the list, the bot cannot follow the parcel.

Following a gift from abroad

1. Ask the seller for a tracking number as soon as the order ships.
2. Send the code to the bot with /track.
3. Check that the carrier was detected correctly, or fix it via /modify.
4. Give the parcel a clear name so you do not mix things up.
5. When the order arrives, delete it with /remove.

Remember that in the first days after dispatch the tracking often stays silent. That is normal: the carrier's system does not get data right away. ⏳

Limits worth knowing

The bot shows exactly what the delivery service provides. If the service lags or fails, TrackBot cannot invent anything. The project's help page marks services that work only partly or with delays.

If you track several dozen parcels at once, adding new ones may be limited. That is protection against abuse.

Privacy

You give the bot tracking numbers, and from them someone could guess what you buy. Do not send addresses, phone numbers or passport data to the chat: tracking does not need them.

The project's privacy policy is on its website, so read it if you take privacy seriously. 🔒

Who it suits

People who order a lot from online shops, wait for gifts and documents, or send goods to customers. One bot instead of a dozen browser tabs.
