Here's a link to an article about a person whose identity was primarily discovered because he was tracking intercepted packages: IP Address . Here is another article of the same case: IP Address. Very good reads imo. The arstechnica article seems to suggest that possibly the package was automatically flagged first because of the tracking and/or other issues, but the Vice article clearly says the pack was intercepted likely due to poor stealth, then the IP address was found that had searched the tracking history of it.
If you must track i would suggest using a quality vpn (mullvad or similar) and only use a tracker that isn't the carrier's (like 17track/parcelapp/etc). Tor is another option. The vpn/tor part is essential as any website can be subpoenaed to give over IP info related to searches. I would also suggest doing so VERY sparingly, in case recurrence is a somehow a flag. If you are purchasing large amounts this is beyond essential. Or ideally, just don't track. You can usually just email the vendor and ask them where it is, if it seems late. If other people have tips/suggestions related to tracking, please post them.
Stay safe everyone.
