Know more about when your packages will arrive. Pallet brings your deliveries together with carrier updates, route maps, and Smart Windows that estimate a tighter arrival window when enough delivery data is available. Smart Windows are estimates, not guaranteed delivery times, and are not available for every package. TRACK YOUR DELIVERIES IN ONE PLACE Follow shipments from 3,000+ supported carriers worldwide, including USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Canada Post, Royal Mail, and more. Paste a tracking number and Pallet helps identify the carrier. Some numbers may require you to choose a carrier. Tracking details and update timing depend on the carrier. AMAZON IMPORT, BUILT IN For users of the U.S. App Store, connect your Amazon.com account to import supported shipments automatically. Amazon tracking is included in the free plan, and your Amazon credentials stay on your device. Availability depends on Amazon.com and the shipment information it provides. FOLLOW THE JOURNEY See carrier-reported scan locations and your package's route on the map. Delivery countdowns and estimates help you plan ahead. Map locations reflect available tracking events, rather than continuous GPS tracking of a delivery vehicle. USEFUL NOTIFICATIONS Receive status-change notifications and, with Pallet Pro, a heads-up for supported deliveries that require a signature. Notification timing depends on carrier updates and your device settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No email scraping. No selling your data. Pallet uses the tracking information needed to retrieve carrier updates, send notifications, and sync your packages. See our Privacy Policy for how the service handles this information. DESIGNED FOR YOUR APPLE DEVICES Keep your deliveries together on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with iCloud sync across devices signed into the same iCloud account. Enjoy detailed shipping labels, delivery insights, widgets, and light and dark themes. PLAN WITH PALLET PRO Get Smart Windows when available, delivery calendar sync, signature alerts, and custom themes. Calendar estimates update as arrival information changes.
