USps postal service and customs?

I mailed a gift to Ukraine on December 21 and it looks like it's at customs. Do you think it's still at customs? How often is mail scanned at customs on Sunday and the day after christmas? Does this mean the padded envelope really left the United States? What does this mean? I took a few of the numbers out. I sent it registered mail even though the CD didn't cost me much! I sent another CD regular International First Class in October 2010 and she didn't get it! Please look below!



Label/Receipt Number: RC00 146 2U S

Class: First-Class Mail International

Service(s): Registered Mail鈩?br>

Your item left the United States from ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS) at 7:28 am on December 26, 2010. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

It has left the U.S. but has not been scanned in at Ukraine or it has been scanned in but the information has not been updated to the U.S. website yet. Customs can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks and the communication between foreign customs and the U.S.P.S. is sporadic at best.USps postal service and customs?
I have the same issue with usps,my letter was sent registered first class on 12-16-2010

and the status has been International dispatch ISC New York since 12-19-2010.USps postal service and customs?
I see nothing there that indicates it was ever at Customs. US Customs is generally for incoming. Outgoing would go through Ukraine Customs, if it goes through Customs at all.



As it left the ISC on the 26th and today's the 28th, it is not at all unreasonable for the item to still be in a secure Registered pouch somewhere on a plane, either in the air or on the ground anywhere the plane might stop for refueling or mail transfer. Registered travels slower than regular mail because of the extra security procedures even in the US, and in Eastern Europe, it's even slower - and still somewhat risky. Who knows how reliable their scanning is?



Two days since leaving the US is really nothing. You need to be patient with this.
