| Item Description | Brief details of the product. |
| Tracking Number | The core data point for live monitoring. |
| Carrier | Courier service (e.g., USPS, FedEx, SF Express). |
| Status | e.g., "Ordered," "Shipped," "Arrived at RizzitGo Warehouse." |
| Weight (Est./Act.) | Estimated and later actual weight for cost calculation. |
| Notes | For special instructions or issues. |
