Yes. Tracking numbers are automatically extracted from retailer shipping notifications and added to your order once items ship. Each tracking record includes the carrier name (UPS, FedEx, USPS, Amazon Logistics, DHL) and tracking number.
An order may have multiple tracking numbers if items ship separately. Note that tracking may not be available immediately after an order is placed — we recommend periodic polling. See our tracking docs for full details.
