USPS Tracking with LK NUmber

spinkitten02 — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 03:45:42 GMT

OK so I am not overly familiar with the US POstal Service. I bought an item off a Seller and he gave me a tracking number starting with LK then 9 digits then US.

It scanned until "Dispatch to Sort Facility" which was on the 20th of July. Its now the 2nd August, no scanned update, nothing to indicate it has even left the US OR arrived here in Australia.

The Seller has been very patient with my emailing him and has reassured me it WILL be here, but I am not holding my breath.

I do not understand firstly WHY you would ship something to another country without full tracking (to cover your own butt as a seller as well).

So anyways enough ranting,

What does LK stand for in the USPS shipping stuff??

Thanks

Can you post the full tracking number please. There are several experienced members who can have a look and try to work out where your parcel is.

Do not let the seller string you out past the cutoff time for opening a dispute....you are pretty close now, so you need to act quickly.

As for full tracking....it can be very expensive and many buyers do not want it.

Is the item definitely coming from the USA? I think LK is a DHL number, so may not be a USPS number at all.

Can you also post the full title of the item you are trying to track?

Sure - here is the number LK071415712US

its definitely coming from the US, most other priority mail takes 7 working days usually to reachme but this is now 9 working days with nothing at all.

TIA for any help x x

It is USPS alright. I just complained about it in another thread and am waiting for a parcel myself. Mine starts with LJ, which means First Class, I am not sure about LK, but it can only be better than First Class because First Class is the cheapest option.

Oh, you say it's Priority. I don't know, my other parcels were all also much quicker to arrive. Mine has been processed through their sort facility (last update). If you don't get it by the beginning of next week and the status doesn't change, you could try to call them.

It is only an International Letter so could well take another week or so. There is nothing there about it being a Priority Mail item. Did the listing state it would be sent Priority?

LK071415712US shows as international letter (or small parcel), which is only trackable within US. I just today received one posted on the 18th, so you should have yours within next few days.

In my experience foreign mail's tracking isn't updated after it has left the country so there may be nothing for you to worry about. Registered Post here isn't updated until the day it's delivered.

I am currently waiting on 9 items (sent as early as 5th July) with LK numbers being sent from Puerto Rico.. from experience with this seller my packages can sometimes take up to 8 weeks to arrive. And having a sister who works for UPS back in the states, she says thats can be pretty normal depending on where its coming from. ll be waiting with you lol

Mail items with the LK prefix are usually only trackable within the USA.

You would probably get more information from your seller than we can give you on the Australian boards...we have no idea how long mail takes from the USA to Singapore.

At the moment my USPS first class and priority and taking exactly the same time about 21days from the US

Re: USPS Tracking with LK NUmber

lyndal1838 — Tue, 22 Oct 2013 21:43:57 GMT

But that is not much use to the member I was replying to as he is in Singapore, not Australia.

harley_babes_hoard — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 00:41:09 GMT

the OP said "It scanned until "Dispatch to Sort Facility" which was on the 20th of July. Its now the 2nd August, no scanned update, nothing to indicate it has even left the US OR arrived here in Australia" where did you get singapore from?

Re: USPS Tracking with LK NUmber

lyndal1838 — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 04:27:53 GMT

I was replying to 3151dan60 who states he was from Singapore and a check of his details shows he is registereed in Singapore. I think it is safe to assume his parcel is going to Singapore, not Australia.

well it's safe to say I wasn't replying to you in particular or the person who you were replying to. I was replying to the thread in general and the OP of this thread. I only just realized that this thread is an old dredged up one.
