When making a purchase in an online store, you want to know when the goods will be delivered and on what date you can plan to dispose of them. If it is from foreign countries, it is important to know all the stages of moving the parcel between departments, warehouses and assembly points, as this will eliminate the risk of its loss and provide peace of mind to the buyer. You can always be aware of exactly where the parcel is and when to expect its arrival with the tracking service.
How the parcel tracking system works
Tracking of the parcel sent from the store or by the subject personally is done by recording the facts of its arrival and dispatch in sorting centers and different departments. This information is recorded in a single database and issued to the sender or recipient upon request through the specialized Megabonus service https://parcel.megabonus.com/postal/boxberry. Its functional capabilities allow you to calculate the estimated delivery date. The user also has access to information about the status of the delivery and the details of the routes of movement of the vehicle.
Algorithm of the functioning of the tracking service:
- barcode creation;
- sending the parcel to the delivery service, scanning the barcode and entering it into the database of the tracking system;
- sending the parcel and its delivery to the second department of the courier service, scanning the barcode and updating it in the data system;
- changing the delivery status to "delivered" when the parcel is handed over to the addressee with information about the place and time of delivery being entered in the database.
Advantages of the tracking system
Parcel tracking on a specialized portal is not distinguished by complex algorithms. To find out where it is at the moment and when you can expect it to be delivered, it is enough to enter the alphanumeric combination of the track number in the request field. After activating the form, full information about the parcel and its delivery status is displayed on the screen. Among the advantages of the service, the following can be noted:
- the opportunity to plan the use of goods from the parcel;
- visibility of parcel movement;
- reducing the risks of parcel loss;
- peace of mind of the sender and receiver, especially if the delivery of expensive products is expected;
- the possibility of tracking parcels delivered by more than 100 courier and postal services;
- prompt provision of information just a few seconds after sending the request.
Conclusions
You can find out where the parcel is at the current time through the tracking service. By entering the tracking number in the request field, the sender or receiver gets access to information about the delivery status, the location of the package and the date when it can be expected to be received.
