How to work with Packages at Taiwan's convenience stores

A service provided by the major convenience store chains in Taiwan is to use their network to send a package from one store to another.  This post is an aggregation of information about working with packages across the various chains.

 Family Mart

To know when to receive your package, visit the Famiport tracking site, enter the 11-digit tracking number and pay attention to the status, which is listed with the most recent status at the top of the page. You will see the following in order:
 
  • 訂單成立未寄件  - paperwork completed
  • 已完成寄件 - sent from the origin
  • 貨件前往物流中心 - on the way to the distribution center
  • 貨件抵達物流中心 - at the distribution center
  • 貨件已完成理貨 - sorted
  • 貨件等待配送中 - awaiting delivery
  • 貨件進行配送中 - out for delivery
    貨件配達取件店舖  - delivered
     
If you see 查無訂單資料 your tracking number was not found in the system. Check you are copying and pasting the correct number (11 digits).
 
When you visit the store to collect your package, you'll be asked for the last 3 digits of your phone number. If you've not paid for the goods yet, you'll be given a bill. If you've already paid for the goods, you'll need to present your ID. Note that if you have already paid and want someone other than yourself to pick up the package they'll probably need your ID.

We live in a digital age. The Taiwanese banking system ... a little less so. Transferring money overseas typically involves a visit to the bank between 9am and 3pm. You'll queue, fill out an outbound remittance form in duplicate, stamp and sign some things and just generally wait while staff do their best with the unfamiliar procedure. There is another way.* * for transfers < 500,000 TWD, to accounts you've previously set up in a special way :(  Background: Remittance Classifications One of the reasons for the myriad of complicated forms when dealing with foreign exchange in Taiwan is the precise codification of transfer types required by the Central Bank. Your knowledge of the existence of these two documents will boost your standing above that of the average banker: 匯出匯款之分類及說明  Code and Description of Outward Remittance Classification 匯入匯款之分類及說明 Code and Description of Inward Remittance Classification These are updated every few years, with new versions fo...

How to flash Seeed Wio-WM1110 Dev Kit with Meshtastic

The Seeed Wio-WM1110 Dev Kit is an nRF52840-based LoRa® transceiver with built-in GPS, Temperature/Humidity sensor and supports solar and battery power. Unfortunately, unlike many Meshtastic devices, this board cannot be flashed using USB. Instead, you require an external device that can connect via SWDIO. Luckily, if you have a Raspberry Pi around this is surprisingly straightforward. 1. Set up Wiring Connect GPIO pin 11 on your Raspbery Pi to the CLK pin on the Wio-WM1110. Connect GPIO pin 8 on your Raspbery Pi to the DIO pin on the Wio-WM1110. Ensure you get the GPIO numbers correct. Plug in your Raspberry Pi to USB power. Plug in the Wio-WM1110 to USB for power. 2. Install OpenOCD OpenOCD is the program we'll use for communicating with the Wio-WM1110. Install it on your Raspberry Pi. $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install libtool autoconf automake texinfo telnet gdb-multiarch git $ git clone git://repo.or.cz/openocd.git $ cd openocd/ $ ./bootstrap $ ./configure --enable-bcm2835...
