[Official] CR-48 ChromeOS Laptop Shipment-Tracking

[waruikoohii]

So what is the new format?

Semi-random reference numbers. A_Gamer figured out a way to track them (they aren't on the tracker yet, but he's saying that a shipment of ~2,000 went out today). Since tracking packages that aren't your own is a UPS ToS violation, he isn't providing links back to the website. The previous reference numbers were available on public lists, which is why he made them available previously.

Is he still going to provide the tracking numbers?

No more tracking numbers.

[nycmattw]

But then it wouldn't be tracker now would it?

[x-scratch]

if it has no tracking numbers then how we gonna know if we have a box coming or not

[Batra]

guess we are going to have to actually do part of the work ourselves now instead. Oh well at least he figured it out.

You can't do the work unless someone else figures out the algorithm and posts a list.

It's a tracker in the sense that it'll still tell you how many are coming to your city, what the ship date is, and what the estimated arrival date is. The difference is that you won't be able to stalk the package.

He removed the link to the tracking numbers, now you can only see if it comming to your city or not.

Will it show the reference numbers? or Zip codes.

[Silverskull]

Will it show the reference numbers? or Zip codes.

Reference numbers: no.

Zip codes: if the site is still working, yes.

[nycmattw]

I think it's just going to show zip codes since he never started with reference numbers in the first place.

[Wanderermy]

Will it show the reference numbers? or Zip codes.

Zip, here's what he said on it.

[Silverskull]

Quite honestly I was a bit nervous having the reference numbers on the site to begin with; I have one possibly coming tomorrow (not sure if it's mine) and if it is mine I sure don't want someone swiping it off my front porch before I get to it.

[nycmattw]

I can imagine a group of CR-48 fans outside my house with a shotgun in their hands. >.>

Edit: Not saying that I have a netbook delivered already.

[Quick Shot]

Does anyone have the wiki link with the lists?

[Batra]

Last I heard the wiki only shows the first 3 batches. So little or no use anymore.

[Wanderermy]

Does anyone have the wiki link with the lists?

I think the wiki he was talking about is here.

I noticed those things comes a day before they are expected to arrive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

So far only one was delivered to my town... Bleh

[leakAddict]

maybe. i was honest with them, and told them i rarely use google products besides my android phone, and gmail. :D Everything else was microsoft and so on.

I was also honest, but told them that my business could realistically benefit from the cloud. Here's to hoping!!

Mine couldn't possibly have come a day early (today) because it was just scanned one state over about an hour ago. :p

*ahem*

If it's mine, that is.

[Wanderermy]

The tracker just updated ... one going to my city, PLEASE ME BE!!!!!!!!!

[aznkid25]

Now that the tracker has been updated, I see that one is headed to my zip code. I'm hopeful once again.

[Wanderermy]

Does the tracker show what ups center they are sending it to, or the actual area the person lives in?

the closet UPS center is about 50 miles away (wichita) and they have several of them that got shipped yesterday.

It's only show the city that it going to.
