## Notes

- **Source**: The JSON `wapp.mailplus.com.au/api/v1/customer/trackings/public/{number}` the MailPlus tracking page calls. Direct GET request, no account.
- **Time zone**: each event time carries its own offset (for example `+10:00`), which is converted to UTC.
- **Detection**: `MPXL######` is MailPlus's alone. `MPX#########` is also a Purolator PIN shape, so it is only auto-detected when no other carrier claims it; use `?carrier=mailplus` to be sure.
