How do I give customers real-time delivery tracking when I'm shipping across multiple couriers?
The short answer
Each courier has its own tracking portal and format, which is useless to a customer who just wants one link that works, a unified tracking layer (ClickPost or similar) sits on top of all your couriers and normalizes their status updates into one branded tracking page. This matters more than it sounds: a branded, accurate tracking page is one of the highest-ROI things you can build because it kills the largest single category of support tickets, 'where is my order', before it ever hits your inbox. Get the estimated-delivery-date accuracy right first; a wrong ETA generates far more tickets than a slightly slower but honestly-stated one.
