12. UPS tracking numbers starting with 1Z (US Domestic) are automatically found

just punch it in. quicker than UPS's own site


I like "72 hours in seconds" for working with timestamps in a database.

13. Also USPS!

In addition to FedEx and UPS, the unfairly maligned US Postal Service is also supported.
