HCT 查貨碼 numbers are 10 digits and any 10-digit number can name some parcel, so `?carrier=hct` is required.

## Notes

- **Wording**: HCT sends no status codes, so its Traditional Chinese wording is mapped (送達 delivered, 配送中 out for delivery, 取件中 pickup scheduled, 無人接聽 or 異常 exception, 退回 returned). `location` is the station named in the scan.
- **Time zone**: Taiwan time (UTC+8).
- **Not found**: a number HCT has no record of (the page says 查無此配送資料) is `not_found`.
- **How it is queried**: HCT's mobile web app pages (`/app/searchGoods_index.aspx`), which have no captcha step; the lookup is a short form post followed by a read of the result page.
