I'm probably preaching to the converted Harley, but have you tried this site for the tracking?

http://www.17track.net/en/

It seems other parcel tracking sites take their info from the USPS.  All I got were 'Not trackable' and the destination country was blank and couldn't be entered.

You've got to wonder the reasoning behind creating a tracking system that works....then systematically stuffing it up.

Hi Padi, yeah tried that one and a few others, it seems they need USPS data to track. Nothing showed on them at all.

I was hoping that maybe 17track would be able to get more tracking information than us mere mortals, rather like the way AP can get better information on their tracking than we can.

Have you tried this one? I've used it a few times for different carriers.
