Express transport services providers such as Federal Express (FedEx), United Parcel Service (UPS), or DHL Worldwide Express already use the Internet to provide their customers with access to status information regarding their transports. By submitting a particular transport identification number, customers can obtain information as to where a specific package is at a specific point in time or when it has been delivered to an intermediate post. To ensure data security, customer identification numbers and passwords are used. Customers value the service high - FedEx reports 12000 daily requests worldwide for transport information. See Ref 32.
