Hello my name is Sheila Robles and I’m new to the list thought I’d introduce myself and as far as the shipping apps are concerned I still use Parcel and of course I’m subscribed it’s not really a big deal and just now it actually works with Amazon which is what I mainly use. I was considering dropping it until they started supporting it. All I had to do was turn on Amazon notifications in the Parcel App and sure enough my current delivery which is scheduled to be coming to me on Tuesday showed up when I first opened the app without me even hunting for a tracking number that’s really cool.
