Broken Tracking!

Remember the good old days (like a few years ago) when you can track packages?

DAMN I MISS THOSE DAYS, so I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands.

Supplies

Apple AirTag

Cheap Shipping Means No Tracking (or Really Crappy Tracking)

I ship a lot of large items, using Greyhound freight, The upside is they are 1/3 the cost of other shipping services, and you need to drop off your stuff at a depot.. The downside is slow as a slow bus from Chicago, slow (2+ weeks) with lacking tracking.. (HEY THAT RHYMES!)

THE SOLUTION:

I paired an Apple AirTag and sent it to the shipper who dropped it into one of the boxes

and IT WORKED!!! (didn't want to post till I was sure) and as a bonus, I was able to find my packages

in a big warehouse / depot instead of the way they where doing it (looking for my waybill # on boxes)
