Does your module have access to more detailed information than what we are usually granted?

Yes. Most tracking API's allow you to access a lot of information that the respected company's web site might leave out. PackageMapping.com tries to give as much non-personally identifiable information as possible.
Occasionally, it has been noticed that PackageMapping.com will have more up-to-date information than the shipper's web site might have.

Why is my UPS tracking information taking so long to update?

According to the contract we have with UPS, we are limited to how often we can request repeat tracking numbers in a day. This means that the first time you track your package in any given day, the information will be current. After that, you will have to wait a long period of time before the information will be updated again in that same day. The amount of time varies and can be anywhere from 3 to 12 hours depending on a number of factors. Paid subscribers will be given priority over non-paying users. Currently, this only applies to UPS tracking numbers. Below are the UPS usage guidelines:
To check how current your tracking information is, look for the statement, "Results provided by UPS March 18, 2007, 6:52 PM MDT." The date and time will be different than shown here. This statement tells you when the information was last updated from UPS.
