How to use the package tracking feature in Microsoft Edge

If you’re one of the 2.64 billion people who shop online, you know that waiting for your package to arrive can turn into a guessing game. Even with shipping times seemingly getting faster every day, packages can still get lost in the mail or arrive late. If you’re making online purchases through Microsoft Edge, take advantage of our built-in package tracking software and receive automatic updates about the status of your order. Learn how to turn on package tracking the next time you checkout and avoid having to search your email for updates.

What is package tracking?

Package tracking is the process of updating consumers about the location and status of their package throughout the entire delivery process, including shipping, sorting, warehousing, and drop off. It was designed to give customers more transparency around ordering online and to let them know when they can expect their package. Package tracking also helps prevent mail from getting lost since mail delivery has become more complex in the past decades.

Package tracking in Microsoft Edge

If you shop online using Microsoft Edge, turn on package tracking to automatically receive updates about your order. The next time you make a purchase, navigate to the pop-up window on your order confirmation page and turn on package tracking. Now you’ll receive order updates on the location of your tracked package until it reaches your door. Package tracking is currently available across the United States.
