Shout out to businesses that email tracking information and link to their own systems instead of the package delivery service’s tracking system. These third party tracking site plug-ins often lag behind the information provided to them by the delivery service’s site.
Special shout out to those who hide tracking information behind a required account login when they could simply provide the tracking number in the email.
Most special shout out to sites that do not allow you to know anything about a particular order unless you click through to their site and log in. It makes tracking past orders a nightmare.

Email tracking in general is cursed. I keep getting letters from a few companies because “you’re not receiving our emails.” No, I’m just blocking your 14 hidden pixels and not clicking your fucking
awstrack.melinks.Shout out to Postmark for allowing me (as a web developer) to avoid spying on my users by letting me disable rewriting everything as a tracking link.
Could you tell me more about those hidden pixels? How do I block them?
I use Apple’s Mail on iOS and macOS that block external assets by default. But I also block all that trash via DNS too. I use Blocky loaded with tons of blocklists.
Wait they send you a physical letter?
A creditor and some other random company have done that.
