So far we have mentioned the mobile website for UPS and FedEx. Now with the help of David H and SinisterJunkie we have the DHL mobile site covered. All we are missing is USPS and during my quick look I could not find a mobile site for them. Anybody find anything?
So for DHL tracking you can only track packages. None of the fancy stuff like FedEx and UPS. They supposedly redirect wap.dhl.com to the mobile website but that has frames and requires javascript and did not work on my Bold. So I resorted to trickery. You just need to go to this link which is the bottom frame to track packages:
wap.dhl.com/track/track.html Or you can also try this link for the full framed version
So as a reminder:
UPS: mobile.ups.com
FedEx: www.fedex.com/mobi/
DHL: wap.dhl.com/track/index.html

I did find a press release from last year stating USPS has over 6,300 Blackberry users, but haven’t found a mobile web site. Which is strange as I would think they might be subject to federal web accessibility requirements. But since they aren’t technically a federal agency, perhaps not.
“The Postal Service’s BlackBerry population alone is more than 6,300 employees. Critical business applications are wirelessly pushed to BlackBerry users without cradling or the need for user intervention.”

@Nikolaus,
So do I, but if I go to full addrss above I get their tracking page.
They recommend “http://wap.dhl.com/track/tr_ENG.html” as the bookmarable tracking page address. Unknow if there are similar pages in other languages (replace ENG with others).
