If you have a tracking number in the clipboard and tap on New Parcel it usually pops right up with the tracking number and carrier already selected and it asks if you want to create this, there is a Yes or No button, tap on Yes, fill in the place where it's from and what it is (optional) then tap save and you are done. I haven't bothered with forwarding emails yet since I find this much easier, by the time I forward the message, select the forwarding address (even if I set it up as a contact) and all that I can easily create it the other way. Now, just out of curiocity I did forward a tracking email today, I then opened the app, tapped on the Profile tab, then to the Inbox and the message I sent did show up there. I think you have to double tap it, at least after I did this and went back to the Parcels tab that package was set up and it was tracking. Since I didn't like what got selected and put in the "Content" field. At this point I don't think I'll use this feature, just as Mark said it's super easy to copy a tracking number and create a new package this way.

While I have not used the message forwarding inbox feature, what I have done, over 7 times in the past two weeks is to simply split-tap a tracking number in an email, on my iPhone; then select copy. Next, I open the Parcel Track app and simply paste the tracking number in the edit field. This technique has worked beautifully for me. As yet, I have tracked UPS, USPS, and FedEx packages.

I forwarded three different messages and have received no action or reaction. Is it supposed to notify me of anything? By the way, I am using the free version not the premium. I haven't decided if I want to spend any money on this yet.

I just copied the address as you described into the mail client of my choosing for forwarding. As I said you can also enter numbers in manually within the app or through the portal at parceltrack.de. As for amazon tracking numbers appearing in emails while this is true I was told that somehow these sorts of forwarding arrangements can extrapolate it from the track link within the email which is good since more and more Amazon is using their own logistic service which doesn’t appear as one of the carrier choices within the app but is nonetheless recognized when the email is forwarded at least here in the USA.

I tried to use my user name as my address and saw no option to use that but was given some long address with parceltrack.de. Then,when I click on the inbox, there is a How it works button that takes me to a not found page. Really! So, since they can not tell me, can someone tell me what I must do to get the address that I want and how the inbox works? Although, this should be available in the app. Thanks for any help.

Sometimes when I forward things to my in box they appear right away and I receive notifications that they’ve been added. Other times absolutely nothing doing and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. It almost seems as though the adding of packages via in box seems to work better by me if the package has already started moving thus its tracking number yields something right away as opposed to adding it when you get notified of its tracking number but before it’s entered into any systems as having moved yet. Similarly when I report the issue via feedback sometimes it’s righted within minutes other times nothing happens. Either way I’ve never actually gotten a response from the app’s developer. Still I’m very fond of the app and don’t regret having purchased. But I am glad one can also add packages via the app or the web portal itself; and I’m also happy to have the other similarly named Parcel app just for redundancy sake for just such occasions.

I've successfully added Amazon shipments to ParcelTrack by forwarding the shipment notification email to my ParcelTrack inbox and I've also had failures when doing that. If forwarding the email doesn't work, I simply copy the tracking number from Amazon and paste it into a new ParcelTrack shipment. Good luck.

The reason I ask is that Amazon doesn't really have the tracking number just a link and it usually goes to the Amazon website. Has anybody used it with Amazon?
