I've checked all the Google Now settings for Packages and everything appears as it should but I can not get them to display. Is there some trick to this? I've had orders from Amazon and various other sites yet none show up. Using a Nexus 7.

I don't have a full Google+ profile (just Gmail, etc) but I get the Weather card and Traffic cards so I know I can get cards.

Anyone have any ideas or anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks
 
i ordered a case for my tablet last week from Amazon and the package details showed up on Google Now untill it was delivered.
I should have taken a screenshot. make sure in setting [use gmail something something] is checked.

Is the email you have registered with Amazon the same GMail account that your N7 is registered with? Now only looks for delivery info emailed to your GMail account.
 
It will also pick up delivery information from emails forwarded to your Gmail account. My Amazon account goes to a different email account but I forward the email containing the tracking number to my Gmail account and Now picks it up.
 
I've found that it is kind of iffy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and it doesn't look like it works at all for many online stores. Amazon is the most consistent, but not 100%

I think it only works with certain services.
 
I found it works pretty good with amazon and good with newegg... although the mass numbers of my amazon orders that outnumber the newegg orders skews this study.

I also forward a pop account to gmail.
 
I have my Amazon going to another account but forwarded the emails. The other supplier (AirsoftMegaStore) was registered to my gmail. Neither showed up unfortunately and had all the right settings. Not a huge deal but it would have been nice to see it work.

Maybe I'll buy something on Google shopping and if that doesn't work.... :(

Thanks for the inputs!
 
Yeah, I've had very good luck getting package info from Amazon but most other places I receive tracking numbers from, nothing happens. I even signed up for email alerts from the USPS on one package (god, thats even more worthless than just checking their website, I haven't received a single update - just the initial shipping notification) and didn't get a card on Google Now. I even made a payment via Google Wallet and didn't receive a card.
 
Does it work if you are signed up for UPS alerts? I changed that to my gmail a couple of days ago. My Amazon account is a different email, but I get an alert from UPS.
