what´s the difference between LZ and CF codes when shipping internationally and why CF is faster?

I´ve bought things at ebay for a while and i know there are different codes used for different shipping methods but since january, 14 i´ve been having problems with LZ shipped items. After the message ¨processed through sort facility" the item seems to disappear.

Today is mar, 16 and i have two items stuck at the same process, one from feb, 18 and the other feb, 20. Meanwhile, i purchased at item with the trackng CF that arrived in less than 3 weeks. I´m worried because i thought all CFs and LZs were PRIORITY MAIL INTL. but if so, why is the CF faster than the LZ? What´s the rule?

Your shoes were shipped through the Global Shipping Program....that service is slow and expensive as it is shipped through a 3rd party shipping service. It goes to their facility in KY where it is repacked and the paperwork prepared for supposed Priority International shipping by a courier service. It can often take several weeks before it even leaves the USA.

Your underware was sent direct from the seller by First Class mail....it is a slower postage service but can often arrive before items using the GSP as it cuts out the middleman. It is the cheapest USPS International service as againt the most expensive service offered on ebay.
