Android App Review: Parcels

Parcels Android App

One of the main drawbacks of living so far north in the Highlands of Scotland, is that packages take longer to be delivered, regardless of whether you pay for next day delivery or not, it’ll still take 3-7 days to get here on average. In addition to this, some couriers will charge upwards of £20 just to deliver to the Highlands, something online retailers only tend to find out after the order has been submitted, and usually have to send an email to me letting me know that I’ll have to pay a £30 postage charge for a £5 item. I digress however, as this was intended to be a review of an Android application that has made my online ordering woes a little more tolerable. It’s called Parcels, and it allows you to input any tracking codes you’ve been issued for your purchases, and follow the progress of them all from within a rather pretty and intuitive interface.
