Perhaps it may be better not to be too quick to state that the GSP does not use the local mail services until it can be confirmed for every othe country.

 

There is a logical reason for the replyabout not using postal services, and that is that Canada is the only country served by the GSP where PO Box addresses are acceptable for purchases of GSP items and in the terms and conditions it does say that.

 

Additionally,watching GSP affairs on three continents, I have never encountered a postal system as a primary shipping agent,i (with the exception of Canada) ncluding Australia where postal shipping is at the discretion of the main shipper, Fedex.

 

Some things are implicit in the structure of the service,

In the past you were very quick to say that the local postal services were NEVER used for GSP items EVER....until several posters here in Australia (including me) assured you that it did happen here.   Now you have admitted that it happens in Canada.

I still think it is not a good idea to be too dogmatic about the system....every time you are adamant that something does not happen or cannot happen, along comes a poster who proves that it can and does.   Like a lot of ebay initiatives, things don't always go according to plan.   I think there are more exceptions to the (GSP) rules than you care to admit.

However the GSP has nothing to do with the OP's question as his item was shipped (and tracked) through the USPS.
