Plan the day
Use the current outlook to decide when to watch for a package, move a delivery inside or adjust a handoff.
Smart delivery predictions
Know when it’s
really arriving.
Carrier estimates are useful. Context makes them better. Shipments adds a smart prediction informed by the latest tracking events and transit patterns, so you have a clearer view of what may happen next.
How it works
Tracking events become useful context.
A prediction is only as current as the package information behind it. Shipments keeps the estimate connected to the delivery’s unfolding timeline.
A clearer arrival estimate, not a promise.
Carriers publish official delivery estimates based on their own networks. Those dates can change as a package moves, waits for a transfer or encounters a delay. Shipments preserves that official estimate while adding a separate prediction informed by the latest available tracking events and transit patterns.
The result is a second point of reference. It can help you decide whether to expect a delivery earlier, later or near the carrier’s current date. Because real-world shipping changes, every prediction remains an estimate—not a guaranteed appointment.
What can influence a package prediction?
- The newest carrier scan: a recent departure, arrival or out-for-delivery event changes what is plausible.
- Where the package is in its route: the distance and checkpoints remaining provide important context.
- Current transit patterns: the pace of similar movement can help shape an informed estimate.
- Changes along the way: missed movement, route changes or a carrier delay can shift the outlook.
Important: Smart predictions supplement carrier information. The carrier remains the authoritative source for delivery commitments, exceptions and final status.
Why show both estimates?
Transparency matters. By keeping the official carrier date visible beside the Shipments prediction, the app lets you understand where the two views agree or differ. You are not asked to trade the carrier’s information for a black box—you get more context around it.
Built for real life
A prediction is most useful when it helps you act.
Shipments combines the estimate with the tracking timeline and timely notifications, so the information is easier to use.
Notice a change early
A shifting timeline can give you useful context before the original arrival date comes and goes.
Keep the evidence nearby
Review the full tracking history behind the estimate instead of seeing an unexplained date in isolation.
Reading the result
Use the prediction with the timeline.
What to do when an estimate changes
First, check the newest event. A package may have reached a regional facility, started its final mile or paused at an earlier checkpoint. Next, compare the Shipments prediction with the official carrier estimate. If both move together, the carrier has likely incorporated the same new information.
If the package is marked out for delivery, the carrier’s operational status should guide your expectations for that day. If it shows an exception, customs hold or address problem, follow the carrier’s instructions—the prediction cannot resolve an operational issue.
Delivery intelligence stays connected to tracking
Shipments is a full package tracker for iPhone and iPad, not a standalone date generator. Predictions sit alongside live status, carrier checkpoints, package details and notifications, giving you one consistent place to understand the journey.
