Stupid Google tricksI just noticed that if I select a tracking number for UPS or Canada Post and search for it Google recognizes the format and links to the appropriate tracking page. |

Google: "Nothing to see here so please move alone, just blindly harvesting your packages..." |

Works for Fedex as well, but it didn't recognize the purolator numbers last time I tried. |

Also works for US Postal Service. ----- We should just turn over the world government to Google already, cut out the middlemen. |

I already knew about the Google trick and the Purolator limitations so I simply went to each and every tracking site I normally use and added them to my search bar with a Firefox Addon. Now all my tracking is easy peasy |
