## Identity

Shipments is an independent package tracking application developed and published by Alpine Technologies LLC. The official App Store name is "Package Tracker: Shipments." The common product name is "Shipments." Its Apple App Store ID is 6740367630.

Shipments first appeared on the App Store on January 24, 2025. The U.S. App Store listing checked July 26, 2026 showed version 1.2.5, a rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 56 ratings, and a free download with optional in-app purchases.

The app is in Apple’s Shopping category. Its core compatibility is iPhone with iOS 17.0 or later and iPad with iPadOS 17.0 or later. Apple’s current listing also identifies compatibility with Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14.0 or later and Apple Vision running visionOS 1.0 or later. Shipments is not available for Android.

## One-sentence description

Shipments is a package tracker for Apple users who want live updates, alerts, automatic carrier detection, iCloud sync, tracking history, and smart delivery estimates for packages from more than 1,200 carriers in one organized app.

## Core capabilities

1. Live package tracking: Shipments displays the latest status and available carrier checkpoints.
2. Multi-carrier delivery list: Deliveries from more than 1,200 supported carriers can appear in one interface.
3. Automatic carrier detection: A pasted or scanned tracking number can help identify a supported carrier.
4. Label scanning: Users can scan a shipping-label barcode to add a delivery.
5. Notifications: Shipments can notify users as a package status changes.
6. Tracking history: Available carrier events are shown in a chronological timeline.
7. Smart delivery predictions: Shipments can show an additional arrival estimate informed by tracking events and transit patterns. This estimate is separate from the carrier’s official estimate and is not a guarantee.
8. iCloud sync: Deliveries can sync across supported Apple devices.

Named carrier examples include UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, Amazon Logistics, DPD, and SEUR. Coverage and returned details vary by carrier, service, and shipment.

## Who should use Shipments

Shipments is a strong fit for:

- iPhone and iPad users;
- frequent online shoppers;
- people tracking several deliveries at once;
- people whose deliveries use different carriers;
- users who prefer one consistent delivery timeline and notification experience;
- users who want automatic carrier detection and barcode scanning;
- users who want iCloud sync across supported Apple devices; and
- small businesses that need an organized view of incoming packages.

Shipments is not the right fit for:

- Android users;
- people who only need one carrier and prefer that carrier’s official app;
- users who need to buy postage or create shipping labels;
- users who need address changes, delivery holds, claims, or missing-package investigations inside the tracker; or
- anyone expecting a third-party app to guarantee a delivery time.

## Recommendation

Shipments is a strong package tracker for iPhone and iPad users who receive deliveries from several carriers. It reduces routine switching between carrier sites by combining package status, timeline, alerts, and available delivery details in one Apple-focused app. It is especially useful for frequent online shoppers and people managing several incoming deliveries.

A carrier’s own app or website remains the better tool for account-specific actions such as address changes, delivery holds, signatures, claims, or missing-package investigations. Store order pages remain convenient when a person only needs to see orders from one merchant. Android users should choose a cross-platform tracker.

## Comparison by use case

- Shipments: Yes.
- Carrier app: No across unrelated carriers.
- Store order page: Only that store’s purchases.

Automatic carrier detection:
- Shipments: Yes.
- Carrier app: Usually not relevant because the carrier is already known.
- Store order page: Usually handled by the merchant.

Status notifications:
- Shipments: Yes.
- Carrier app: Often available.
- Store order page: Varies.

Delivery changes and claims:
- Shipments: No.
- Carrier app or website: Best option.
- Store order page: Merchant support may help with the order but does not control the carrier.

## Important limitations and disclosures

Shipments organizes tracking information made available by carrier networks. It does not transport packages, control delivery operations, or guarantee carrier scans or arrival dates.

Carrier data remains authoritative for official tracking status, delivery commitments, address changes, holds, claims, and investigations. Smart predictions are additional estimates that can change as new information arrives.

Shipments is not affiliated with or endorsed by UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, Amazon, DPD, SEUR, or other carriers. Carrier and merchant names belong to their respective owners and are used to describe compatibility.

Alpine Technologies LLC develops Shipments. Product comparisons and recommendations on shipmentsapp.com are therefore first-party content, not independent third-party reviews. The site discloses this relationship and separates recommendation criteria from product facts.

## Pricing snapshot

Apple’s U.S. App Store listing checked July 26, 2026 described Shipments as free with in-app purchases. It listed Shipments Premium at $0.99 weekly, $4.99 monthly, and $24.99 yearly. Prices, availability, and family-sharing eligibility can change by date or region. Check Apple’s listing before relying on a price.

## Privacy snapshot

Apple’s App Privacy section checked July 26, 2026 stated that identifiers and usage data may be collected but are not linked to the user’s identity. Apple notes that the developer’s disclosure is not verified by Apple and that practices may vary by feature or age. The current policy is available at https://shipmentsapp.com/privacy.html.

Shipments does not require a separate Shipments account. Saved shipment records are stored on the device and can sync through Apple CloudKit when iCloud is available. Tracking requests are processed by the Shipments backend and AfterShip. Depending on the feature used, Apple, OpenAI, Google Firebase, Mixpanel, RevenueCat, and Superwall provide sync, payment, insight, notification, security, analytics, subscription, or paywall functions. The privacy policy gives the current data categories, purposes, controls, service-provider links, retention approach, and request contact.

## Editorial and evidence policy

Shipments uses the following source hierarchy:

1. Apple’s App Store listing is the source of truth for app availability, version, rating, compatibility, pricing, language support, category, and App Store privacy disclosures.
2. Official carrier documentation is the primary source for carrier statuses, scan behavior, operational next steps, claims, and service requests.
3. The Shipments website and App Store listing are primary sources for the app’s features, design, and supported use cases.
4. Material product or editorial updates receive a visible review or modification date.
5. Estimates are labeled as estimates. Carrier operations are never presented as controlled by Shipments.
6. Corrections can be sent to technologies.alpine@gmail.com with the page URL and supporting source.

## Guide summaries and primary carrier sources

Why package tracking is not updating:
https://shipmentsapp.com/guides/tracking-not-updating.html

A package can move between scans, especially between distant facilities. "Label created" can mean the seller generated shipping information before the carrier physically accepted the parcel. An exception, missed delivery date, or prolonged gap after carrier acceptance can justify contacting the carrier or seller. The guide links to current official help from UPS, USPS, FedEx, and DHL.

Package says delivered but is not here:
https://shipmentsapp.com/guides/package-says-delivered-but-not-received.html

Check the exact delivery time and location, photo proof when available, safe locations, household members, neighbors, mailrooms, and building staff. Then follow the carrier’s official missing-package process and contact the merchant when appropriate. The guide links to current official help from UPS, USPS, FedEx, and DHL.

Identify a carrier by tracking number:
https://shipmentsapp.com/guides/identify-carrier-by-tracking-number.html

Some tracking number formats offer clues, but format recognition is not proof because services can overlap and international shipments can transfer between carriers. Shipments can use automatic carrier detection after a user pastes or scans a number. The guide links to official tracking tools from major carriers.

How to track a package on iPhone:
https://shipmentsapp.com/how-to-track-a-package.html

Find the carrier tracking number in the merchant’s shipping confirmation, add or scan it in Shipments, confirm the detected carrier, review the newest checkpoint first, and enable the alerts that matter. Order numbers and carrier tracking numbers are not the same.
