## Tracking Number Formats & Auto-Detection

|---|---|---|---|
| **Pass 1 (`matches`)** | `^ME\d{13}[A-Z0-9]{3}$` | none | `ME1700000000001ABC` |
| **Pass 2 (`mayMatch`)** | none | none | none |

These numbers belong to Micro Express alone, so `?carrier=microexpress` is optional.

## Notes

- **Source**: The JSON POST `microexpress.com.au/partner/tracking-info` the tracking page calls. Direct POST request, no account.
- **Time zone**: every event carries its IANA zone (`Australia/Melbourne`) and the local clock time; `timestamp` is converted from them.
- **Event codes**: `INIT` order created, `IN` processed at the local courier's sorting facility, `COLLECT` received by the local delivery depot, `OUT` onboard for delivery, `DOWN` delivered.
- Numbers may be typed with a space after `ME`; it is removed.
