Abstract: When a merchant ships a product to a buyer, the merchant may wish to push shipping status updates to the buyer. Moreover, the buyer may wish to receive a notification when a shipping event has occurred in order to remain informed regarding the shipping status of their package without actively checking the package's status with the carrier. In some embodiments, there is provided a computer-implemented system and method that obtains a tracking identifier for a package, transmits the tracking identifier to a carrier's computing interface (e.g. the carrier's API), receives back an indication of the most recent shipping event, predicts the time of a next shipping event at least based on the most recent shipping event, and retransmits the tracking identifier to the computing interface based on the predicted time of the next shipping event.

Abstract: A customer may wish to purchase products with a lower associated carbon footprint when shipped, or may wish to know the cost associated with offsetting a product's carbon footprint in order to make informed decisions, while browsing and making purchases online. The computer is faced with the computational challenge of trying to determine a value indicative of the carbon emissions associated with shipping a package, before the package has even shipped. The computation may need to be performed during interactive scenarios, such as while browsing. A system and method are provided in order to present a customer with a carbon emissions indication relating to the shipment of a product without disrupting typical online activity.
