Now that Black Friday is approaching, there are many users who after placing an order are awaiting shipment for know when they are going to get home. Even more so in a year in which the global commodity and semiconductor crisis seems likely to wreak havoc.
The shops are preparing for a Black Friday and a somewhat special Christmas, but so that nothing takes you by surprise and you can know in what state your order is At all times, we are going to show you some applications with which to control shipping at all times from your Android mobile.
General applications
When controlling the management of a shipment, either to receive it or if we are the ones who have sent it, we can access cross-platform compatible applications. A tool with which to manage shipments in different courier companies and postal services in an easy and simple way, of which we have selected some of the most interesting.
Parcels
It is the application that I usually use when the mobile I have is based on Android. It is a very easy to use application that allows you to fully track a shipment and for that you can use the tracking number, even from the clipboard or by scanning the barcode.
You can rename, archive or change shipment data What are you waiting for. At all times the application alerts you when there are changes in this regard. And the good thing about it is that it is a free application that you can find on Google Play.

Deliveries Package Tracker
One of the applications is Deliveries Package Tracker. An app that has a Pro version With which to access different improvements (a silent mode for notifications, possibility of importing orders …) and which also allows you to eliminate advertising.
This application has a synchronization service, so that if you have it installed on several devices you will always have your shipments controlled and centralized. We can control all shipments at once in the main panel and know, thanks to a counter, the days remaining until the package is delivered.

AfterShip is another application that makes it easy to track orders. Packages that we send or expect to receive are always under control with this application that like Parcels, allows to use that management number that we have saved in the clipboard.
This app, also available in the App Store for iOS, shows the different phases the shipment goes through and allows to establish notifications that indicate each change. In addition, according to its website, it offers support for 451 courier companies around the world.

Track your packages – 1Track
Another application that works well when searching and monitoring the status of a shipment is Track your packages – 1Track.

In addition it is compatible with more than 500 postal and courier services.

Messaging services applications
Along with the previously seen applications, which are responsible for recognizing the courier service in charge of carrying the package to its recipient, we also have those offered by each courier or postal service. In Spain we have applications of Correos Express, Correos, FedEx, UPS, DHL or Seur, a platform that you can use if you already know which of them you can get the shipment home with.
All these applications work really well and the only downside “they can offer is that They are only compatible with shipments made with each of the services and parcel companies. If you have the tracking number but you do not know the company that manages it, you will have to spend some time until you find the correct one.
Broadly speaking, with all these applications we can be aware of each movement made by the shipment that we expect from the moment it leaves the hands of its recipient until it reaches home and thus avoid unpleasant and last minute surprises.
