Package Tracking IAs: Solve false-positive triggering between all the carriers #2845

zekiel commented 8 years ago

There are several package tracking instant answers which trigger incorrectly. I recommend that 1 goodie or spice be made that shows all potential delivery services matching the regular expression. e.g. giving the user the option to go to USPS or UPS when the tracking number entered could be both.

_The current package tracking IAs include: _ https://duck.co/ia/view/dhl https://duck.co/ia/view/fed_ex https://duck.co/ia/view/hkdk https://duck.co/ia/view/ips https://duck.co/ia/view/laser_ship https://duck.co/ia/view/ups https://duck.co/ia/view/usps

Anyone is welcome to reopen and attack these issues individually but I'm going to close them in favor of this.
