Slice: Package Tracker
Slice is great — if you're ok with an app having access to read your email. That's the whole point of this app: it reads your email, determines whether or not that particular email is for an online order, and automatically pulls your order details, organizing them for you and giving you updates on delivery status.
Slice pulls data from all the major U.S. carriers, like USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and others, and it even goes so far as to notify you if the price of something you bought from a particular retailer has dropped since you bought it. If the retailer is supported by Slice, like Best Buy, Nordstrom, Walmart, and others, you can actually claim the price adjustment right from the app.
The main thing you have to be cool with here is Slice having direct access to your email. If you're not cool with that access, then settle for manually adding information to other apps. But if you want to go down the automatic route, this is the app.
