International tracking usps


Recommended Posts

If its priority mail then it should include tracking. More info should be on the USPS website. Whether said tracking will work in the destination country is another question altogether.

Sending it to England 

Yes, the included USPS tracking number and eventual delivery will work there (even first class parcel, not only priority or express mail).

That's funny. Every USPS package I send internationally has a tracking number. Here's just one recent 1st class parcel example to England:

Your USPS tracking number will definitely work until the parcel leaves the USA.  For many countries, the same number can be tracked to the final destination (Canada, France, England, Australia, Germany are ones I've sent to previously).  They will generally tell you they can't guarantee tracking once it clears US Customs.

Having just received a USPS Priority mail I was able to track this fully through the USPS system.

If it is a flat rate envelope or small flat rate box, then they do not offer tracking for priority mail international. That is according to this webpage (click on footnote number 4 in the Features section):

I just send a decal to the UK using their flat rate envelope at another usps location. I was surprised that tracking was included.

 

i went to another usps location to mail same decal and was told tracking was not offered.

 

these employees do not receive the same training

 

wasted my gas money

I found conflicting info on the USPS website too. Some pages said it was offered and others not. They may be in the middle of making changes to their policies.

Doesn’t it cost less to just use your own envelope? I had to ship internationally yesterday, and while I saw those flat rates, they were upwards of $30.

 

I was selling a clear sprue and I know it doesn’t particularly weigh a lot...but with my own box it only costed $14.25. After filling out the customs USPS gave me a tracking number.

I tried to mail a decal international priority.

 

the lady at the counter said it will cost me more to send it as is or use their flat rate priority envelope which is less

When looking at info on priority mail international I was amazed at how expensive it was. Unless you absolutely need to get it there in 6-10 days (the amount of time sited by USPS site), you'd be better off using first class. It doesn't offer tracking (that I could see), but does offer delivery confirmation, and it is MUCH cheaper.
