Why We Auto-Delete Tracking Links After 21 Days
Most shipments resolve well within 21 days
The vast majority of domestic and even most international shipments are delivered within one to two weeks. Three weeks covers nearly every normal case with room to spare, including slower regional carriers.
Old data sitting around is a liability, not a feature
A tracking link contains a seller's contact information and a buyer's order details. Once a shipment is done, there's no upside to that data persisting indefinitely — only downside, if a database were ever compromised. Auto-expiry means there's simply nothing old to leak.
It keeps the tool genuinely free
Storage isn't unlimited on a free-tier database. Automatic cleanup means the tool can keep running at zero cost indefinitely, instead of slowly filling up with years of stale, unused orders.
What to do if you need it longer
If a shipment is unusually delayed, generate a fresh link with the same carrier and tracking code — it takes under a minute and resets the clock.
