Parcel is a delivery tracking app designed specifically for iOS and Mac. It leverages the latest available technologies on Apple platforms to make tracking deliveries enjoyable.

Features

• support for more than 300 carriers around the world, including Australia Post, Toll, Fastway (Aramex), Couriers Please, TNT, Sendle and Dragonfly.
• Amazon integration - your Amazon deliveries are added automatically when they are shipped
• push notifications on delivery status updates
• barcode scanner, widgets, app clip, share extension and many other small features

Accolades

“Editor’s Choice” - Apple, the Mac App Store
"The Best Package Tracking App for iOS and macOS” - Wirecutter / New York Times
“Best package tracking apps for iPhone and iPad in 2020" - iMore
Got mentioned by Craig Federighi in the WWDC 2021 keynote video

Conditions

I am the developer of this app and I am giving out 1,000 promo codes. Each promo code provides one year of the premium subscription for free. With the subscription, you get push notifications and many other nice features, basically the full app experience.

You need an iOS device running at least iOS 13 and the latest version of the app. Only new customers with an Australian Apple ID who have not previously used Parcel are eligible

How To Get a Code and Redeem It

  • download the app using the following link
  • create a new user account in the app settings using “Sign in with Apple”.
  • tap the following link on your device
  • the app will get a code for you and redeem it
  • once redeemed, make sure that the subscription status is recognised in the app settings

In the true spirit of OzBargain, you can disable the subscription autorenewal straight away in the app settings by tapping on the “Manage Subscription” button. But hopefully, you will enjoy the app and keep it to support an indie developer :)

FAQ

Q: Do you have an app for Android?
A: Sorry, I don’t.

Q: Can I use the app on a Mac?
A: Yes, just make sure to register and redeem a code in iOS. Then sign in to your account in the Mac app.

Q: I have redeemed my code but I don’t see an active subscription in the app.
A: Please try restoring purchases in the app settings.

Q: Do you support family sharing?
A: Sorry, I don’t. But you can send a link to this deal to your family members.

In case of any questions, please contact support from the app settings. Enjoy! :)

There was a problem with the offer - it is fixed now. Sorry for the trouble.

UPDATE: I have decided to decrease the number of codes from 1,000 to 500. I have never planned this deal to be a marketing promotion, I just wanted to give something back to the community which I am a part of. And while most people have reacted in a positive way, the response that I got from some members is discouraging to say the least. Lesson learnt.

    Just worked for me. Had to create an account then Sign In with Apple ID inside the app. Took a few tries then it went though.

  • lint on 09/08/2021 - 13:34

    Worked, thanks.

    Just a question regarding the Sign In with Apple. I've rarely used it but for every other app I've used it with, I had the option to not reveal my email address or other details to the app provider upon signing up.

    With this app, I didn't get any such options, it was either sign up with my email address or not. What's up with that?

    • Associatedverio @ Parcel - Delivery Tracking App on 09/08/2021 - 13:37

      I have specifically configured Parcel not to ask for email when using “Sign in with Apple”. It is a better option for you as a user from a privacy point of view.

      • lint on 09/08/2021 - 19:41

        Thanks for the info. Good to know and thanks for the great app.

    Hi Dev,

    Thanks for making it available to many of us.

    I don’t use Sign In with Apple. Just downloaded app for the first time.

    Can I create an account with us my own email and still avail the offer?

    • Associatedverio @ Parcel - Delivery Tracking App on 09/08/2021 - 13:38

      No, sorry, an account has to be created with “Sign in with Apple”.

      • macmine on 09/08/2021 - 13:48

        Oh I see. May I ask why particularly it had to be Sign In with Apple?

  • gozyla86 on 09/08/2021 - 13:37

    I tried to connect my Amazon account but the link I receive in my email is "An attempt to change password" approval link? Anyone have this problem?

    • Associatedverio @ Parcel - Delivery Tracking App on 09/08/2021 - 13:42

      I am not 100% sure what you mean but the app is using a standard web browser window to authenticate you with Amazon. You are subject to the same verification procedures by Amazon as in a new web browser.

    Great parcel tracking app with clean, minimal UI. Works better than AfterShip and Shop with quicker push notifications (generally 30mins to 1hr delay on updates), plus you can sync across devices

    Ive been using this app for years. Use it to track multiple deliveries both in and out with work as well as personal, there's no argument having it centralised is easier than multiple apps or websites.

    Dev support is great too, added a new courier for me within an hour or 2 of my request.

  • discountguy on 09/08/2021 - 13:46

    attempted sign in with apple …. "There is no account with this Apple ID. Please …." I've never had a Parcel account. Didn't know about it till now :(

    • brentobox on 09/08/2021 - 13:49

      I think it's just a typo. Press on Sign up with Apple and go from there.

    • discountguy on 09/08/2021 - 14:11

      Strange …. just tried it again …. did exactly the same thing for the 5th time ….. this time it worked ….. why? dunno!

  • 51ngh on 09/08/2021 - 13:50

    Apparently you need 2FA to use sign-in with Apple feature.
    I haven’t setup 2FA.
    I guess I’ll give this a miss, unless I can register using email ….

    Doesn't work for everyone. Mine just replies with a message saying the code is expired and get a new code.
    My error says exactly "This offer has already expired try another code."

          Come on, buddy.

          You were quick to leave a negative vote and delete the app but you could not read the text in bold in the deal description? :)

          P.S. I know that Apple could provide a better error text and tell you that the code is available only in Australia but this is outside of my control.

    Nabbed one, worked fine when following the instructions :)

    I haven't used it before (obviously) but I'll give it a shot, might be more convenient to have more in one place. I'm a bit sick of bad communication from different places.

  • eckers19 on 09/08/2021 - 14:47

  • dontpanic on 09/08/2021 - 15:26

    As a Mac user with an Android phone, it's disappointing that it requires iOS to activate the Mac app.

    Of course, if there was an Android app, you'd probably already have my subscription.

  • Emilimu on 09/08/2021 - 15:30

    How do I disable auto renew?

    • Associatedverio @ Parcel - Delivery Tracking App on 09/08/2021 - 15:32

      you can disable the subscription autorenewal straight away in the app settings by tapping on the “Manage Subscription” button.

      • Emilimu on 09/08/2021 - 16:26

        Can’t see any disable auto renew option there, only cancel subscription option

      • jasecutler on 09/08/2021 - 20:38

        Hey @brightaussie, thannks for the app.
        Like @Emilimu has said, there is ony a 'cancel subscription' option, not a 'disable auto-reneweal' option. Can you clarify what we will need to do if we want to disable auto-renewal please.

        • lint on 09/08/2021 - 22:03

          You disable auto-renew at the end of the current subscription period by cancelling the subscription. You can cancel at anytime before the auto-renew date (usually a day or two before the end of the current subscription period).

    • Associatedverio @ Parcel - Delivery Tracking App on 09/08/2021 - 16:03

      I have just replied to your email (I am assuming that it was you). You got charged by Apple for something else. The amount is different.

  • gjsau on 09/08/2021 - 16:16

    Not working for me. When I redeem the offer it wants to verify the purchase methods but then nothing happens. When I choose restore purchase in the app it changes to processing.. and then back to restore purchase.

    • Associatedverio @ Parcel - Delivery Tracking App on 09/08/2021 - 16:18

      Sorry, the payment verification stage is something that is controlled by the App Store - as a developer I can’t change it.

      • gjsau on 09/08/2021 - 16:44

        Maybe it is not working with IOS15 yet, it gets stuck on the payment methods page for verification but with no verify button. Just a back button which brings you back to the store home page

  • artxty on 09/08/2021 - 16:18

    I tried this app a few weeks ago but it wouldn't work with Direct Freight Express. I sent them 2 emails but never got a reply. I would have paid for the premium subscription if it included Direct Freight Express. I just tried to get the free premium subscription, but it said I wasn't eligible as I wasn't a new user. It would have been nice if they had of at least replied to me a few weeks ago to say if they are planning to support Direct Freight Express or not.

      There are two different communication channels in the app.

      One is contacting support from the app settings. Emails are sent to [email protected] and response is guaranteed. This is not what you did.

      What you have used is sending a request for a missing carrier from the carrier selection list. No response is guaranteed, emails are processed there in a semi-automatic way.

      Regarding Direct Freight Express - they used to be supported but now they are not. I asked them about a tracking API that I could use and they don't have one for me.
