- MobiusHorizons 28d agoIt does show a popup to that effect, but if you dismiss it you can still see the tracking info. Definitely annoying, but not unworkable.

- ssl-3 27d agoI have a package on the way with AliExpress. It is headed from somewhere in China to somewhere in the US. Using my computer just now, I looked at one of the emails that AliExpress sent about this order. It had a clickable tracking number displayed; I clicked it. That brought me to their website, where I landed on a page that included the last update for my order and also a link to "View Details". That works for me. It was very easy to where along the line my stuff is (and that it is not in the US yet). --- Meanwhile: I also copied the tracking number from the email. I pasted that tracking number into the box at usps.com. The USPS knows of my tracking number and they do not have my item yet. Fair enough. I ticked some boxes and told them to send me updates, which I'm sure they'll do once they have updates to send -- just as they have done for ~decades now. This also works for me.
