description

Check your Amazon (and other) package delivery status from the terminal using the alexacli CLI — silently, with rich per-package detail (delivery windows, carriers, counts). Use when someone asks "where are my packages", "what's arriving today/tomorrow", "track my deliveries", or wants to build a package / delivery tracking automation. Works by asking Alexa+ over a minted conversation id so no Echo speaker ever plays.

Amazon Package Status via alexacli

Get a full, structured rundown of your incoming packages — silently, from the command line — by querying Alexa+ (Amazon's LLM assistant) through alexacli. Alexa is tied to your Amazon account, so it already knows every package on the way.

TL;DR

alexacli askplus -c "amzn1.conversation.$(uuidgen | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')" \
  "List every package arriving today and tomorrow with item count, delivery window, and carrier."

That single command returns a markdown breakdown like:

Today: 7 packages / 18 items — 12:45–3:00 PM (Amazon), by 10 PM (UPS) Tomorrow: 10 packages — by 10 PM (USPS, Amazon) Later: Tuesday, Thursday

No Echo speaks. No screen-scraping. No Amazon login flow.

The key technique: mint a conversation id

The non-obvious part is the conversation id. You do not need a pre-existing one — generate a fresh UUID in Amazon's format and pass it with -c:

CONV="amzn1.conversation.$(uuidgen | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')"
alexacli askplus -c ""
