Yeah, I might like to be notified when it is actually shipped out, or maybe even when it changes locations. Often time you might have a date range so it could also be useful to know if it's at the local hub and should be delivered today if I need someone at home to sign for it.

Anyways, it would sure beat digging up the email and visiting the tracking page all the time to keep up with it. I also liked the suggestion about being able to see the status of all my packages on one page across shippers.

I'm sure all this complicates things for you quite a bit, as right now you don't need people to sign up or anything. You don't even need much of a website beyond what you currently have. If this version goes well I'm sure you have plans to incorporate some of this stuff, so in that regard, this seems like a great MVP.

Sending alerts for other events is definitely something I've thought about as well and plan to add in some way. I haven't quite figured out the best way to enable optional features like this -- perhaps a separate email address or something in the body?

As you hinted, I'd like to keep things as simple as possible and avoid signups if I can (criminal, I know), at the very least for the basic feature of being notified on delivery.
