Rent the Runway Web Shipment Tracker

WHAT IT DOES

This tool monitors your Rent the Runway orders and provides real-time shipment tracking with return reminders. It extracts order numbers, item names, rental dates, shipping status, tracking numbers, estimated delivery dates, and return dates from the page. The panel displays each order with color-coded status indicators: Processing (yellow), Shipped (blue), Delivered (green), and Returned (dark green). A summary shows total orders and counts by status. Quick "Track" buttons open tracking information in a new tab. The panel calculates days remaining in your rental period and sends desktop notifications when shipment status changes or when your return date is approaching, helping you avoid late fees.

WHERE IT RUNS

The script activates on Rent the Runway pages (renttherunway.com), including order history, shipment tracking, and account dashboard pages. It automatically detects order data using multiple extraction strategies that work across different Rent the Runway layouts. The panel appears as a draggable overlay that stays accessible as you browse your orders.

HOW TO USE

Navigate to your Rent the Runway order history or shipment page. The panel will appear showing all detected orders with their current status. The summary shows total orders and counts by status. Each order displays the item name(s), status, return date with days remaining, and a "Track" button. Set the "Refresh (s)" input to control how often the script checks for updates (default 60 seconds). Set the "Return remind (d)" input to control how many days before the return date you receive a notification (default 2 days). Toggle "Notify on/off" to enable or disable desktop notifications. The "Refresh" button manually updates the data, and "Export" copies all order data as JSON to your clipboard. The script automatically sends notifications when a shipment status changes or when a return date is approaching.

THE TECHNICAL MECHANISM

The script employs a multi-strategy DOM extraction approach for Rent the Runway's order interface. It first attempts structured selectors targeting known class names like .order-card, .shipment-card, and .order-item, then falls back to heuristic detection of order containers based on content patterns including "Rent the Runway", "RTR", "order #", and rental-related keywords. Order numbers are extracted from order number patterns, and item names are collected from multiple elements with fallback to regex-based name detection for common clothing items. Status detection uses pattern matching for processing, shipped, delivered, and returned indicators. Return date extraction finds date patterns after "return by", "return date", or "due" labels, and days remaining is calculated by comparing the return date to the current date. Tracking number extraction captures alphanumeric tracking identifiers. The notification system uses GM_notification for both status changes and return reminders, with a storage-based deduplication system using GM_setValue to prevent repeated notifications. The auto-refresh uses setInterval with a user-configurable interval, and a MutationObserver watches for page updates. All status history is stored using GM_setValue with a maximum of 20 entries per order.

THE PANEL

The panel is fully draggable by its header and remembers its position on the page across sessions. It can be collapsed to a small bubble using the minimize button, then restored by clicking the bubble. The panel resizes automatically to fit its content and can be closed with the Escape key or by clicking the close button. The panel's position and state persist globally, so it returns to the same location on subsequent visits.

PLEASE NOTE

Requires the free BotGentz extension to run. Rent the Runway may update its site structure, which could affect the script's ability to detect order data — updates will be released as needed. All order data is read from the page and displayed locally; nothing is transmitted externally. This tool is for informational purposes only and does not replace official Rent the Runway notifications. The script does not modify your Rent the Runway account or orders in any way. Always verify order status and return dates with the official Rent the Runway platform.
