Recently ordered a Mudita compact and while I was not so patiently waiting I refreshed the track order page multiple times but was surprised to see no info on the actual page to tell me what the status of my order was.
I spent some time searching online and found this site: Aftership
Which let me enter my tracking number in via a text box and returned what appeared to be accurate tracking information about my order.
Has Mudita considered integrating with a 3rd party like this to retrieve tracking info?
Something like per order request tracking on page load:
User loads track order page for first time: Api data is downloaded and persisted to DB, Displayed to track your order
User loads track order page a subsequent time: Persisted data is displayed, api is queried for new data which is added/replaces existing persisted data. New data is displayed to track your order.
Also I happen to be a software developer so I’m curious how open to making space for community contributions to the Mudita store / Or even their OS development Mudita is.
I’m not affiliated with the 3rd party mentioned above they just happened to be one of the top searches when I was trying to figure out what to do with the tracking number.
I would also greatly appreciate order tracking information on the mudita order tracking information page. Seems like the kind of thing one would expect, but with mudita you must learn to expect the unexpected! Anyway, thanks for the suggestion for aftership, managed to find my order information there.
I had basically the same question and situation. The “tracking information” page linked from an email I received from Mudita only had a tracking number. After finding this forum thread I used the number to check on “Aftership”. I saw there that it was being sent by FedEx, so I then went to the FedEx website and was able to put in the number there and got more details like an estimated delivery date, which was very helpful.
I’d suggest listing the name of the carrier (e.g. FedEx in this case) on that Mudita “tracking information” page, with a link to their website, and possibly some text about entering the tracking number on the carrier’s website to get tracking details. That would be a relatively low effort way to help users know how to track their orders – without having to implement and maintain a full 3rd party integration as suggested in the original post. The carrier’s website already does the job, so let them do it and let Mudita’s team focus on other things. Just a suggestion. Hope it is helpful.
