The Challenge of Multi-Carrier Tracking
When shopping globally with a service like LoveGoBuy, your purchases can be handed off between multiple carriers—from local couriers in China to major international logistics companies and finally to your local postal service. Juggling tracking numbers, checking different websites, and remembering statuses can quickly become a headache.
The Simple, Powerful Solution: A Tracking Spreadsheet
The key to organized and efficient tracking is centralizing all your logistics data in one place. A simple spreadsheet is an incredibly effective tool for this purpose.
Essential Data Columns for Your Spreadsheet
| Column | Purpose & Tips |
|---|---|
| Parcel ID / Tracking Number | The unique identifier for your shipment. Copy and paste this accurately to avoid errors. |
| Carrier Name | The company responsible for delivery (e.g., SF Express, USPS, DHL, Yanwen). This tells you which website to check for updates. |
| Delivery Status | The latest scan update (e.g., "Processed through Facility," "Out for Delivery," "Delivered"). Update this regularly for a quick overview. |
| Item Description & Value | Helps identify the contents and is useful for customs or insurance purposes. |
| Origin & Destination | Track where your package is coming from and headed to. |
| Last Updated Date | Note when you last checked the status, ensuring you follow up on stalled packages. |
