Apparently my M10 "has experienced an exception."  What, did they throw it?

Puns aside, I discovered this awesomeness: http://www.usetrackthis.com/

Now I get email whenever the package status changes.

Well, I would get email.  

Theoretically.  

If the package would ever move.

nice site, thanks! this helps me to not obsessively track my packages progress as they're driven across the country. ;)

There's a package tracking widget for OS X that I liked to use back when my Mac was my main computer. I forget what it was called, but...

Yeah, UPS and friends have a web service open to ask these things.

I just like this service because twitter direct messages are (by default) emailed to you as well.

You're presuming it's out for delivery, just because it literary says so. This is like challenging the gods. Remember, it's UPS. It might be out for delivery. Might not.


FWIW in NYC anyway the 'out for delivery' notice has generally been accurate.
