I have an item sent with their Airsure service coming to me. My question is how long will this take. The Royal mail says when I track it: "has been passed to the overseas postal service for delivery in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. "
Figuring it was here in the US, I went to usps.com to track it and its saying:
Class: First-Class Mail International
Service(s): International Letter
Status: Origin Post is Preparing Shipment
We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece.
Can someone help me with whats going on? And how long itll take?
THANKS=]Mailing from UK to US?
It may be clearing customs. Once cleared it should reach the address in 2 to 3 business days. Next Monday July 5th is a holiday in the US. So Tuesday is likely the earliest it will reach the address.

Outbound item (Laptop) held in US Customs!!?
I ordered a Laptop from an online shop from USA which was being delivered through USPS. They picked it up on March 17, 2010 and since March 18, 2010 the tracking showed "Sent to U.S. Customs by U.S. Postal Service". Now today (March 28, 2010) a new update was added "Held in US Customs". So my question is:
1- Why an outbound item is being held in custom. (I know for sure that there is nothing illegal about this item as I bought it from one of the most reputable online shops).
2- How long will it remain there?
3- Is there some process to get it released? Or is there anything that can be done to expedite the process? Can the store who has sent me the item help in this regard?
I am really worried as this is the first time I am buying something online from USA. Any sort of help will be appreciated.
Here are the details of tracking.

It depends on where you are. It is illegal to export electronics to some countries, so if you are in Iran for example, you will be waiting a long time. If you are in Canada, it should be days. The USPS service was probably the wrong way though. Fedex for example would be much faster and would pass customs more quickly, though you will still pay the same duty if applicable.Outbound item (Laptop) held in US Customs!!?
I purchase clothes from China all the time, and every time they are shipped here to the U.S. it always says it's being held by customs. This usually lasts for a few days, then it's released.

Sending a package by USPS to Paris, France?
I sent a package to a recipient in Paris, France. This is a business address and I am certain that it is accurate. The package had a guaranteed delivery date of today, however when i checked the tracking number with the USPS website it stated the package could not be delivered due to an incorrect address. Calling USPS was futile and i was told to call tomorrow to talk to international services.
Does anyone know how reliable or NOT reliable the French postal service is? Again, there is no question that the address is correct.
Thank you.Sending a package by USPS to Paris, France?

Coastal Scents to Australia?
So I ordered 2 Coastal Scents palettes over 2 weeks ago, and they haven't arrived!
I chose USPS shipping (First Class) and the Coastal scents order says "shipped" but when I track it I get this: Class:

Service(s): International Letter

Does anyone know of Coastal Scents items lost in the mail or anything, or is this normal?Coastal Scents to Australia?
I ordered CS from Brazil, and I think it came in surprisingly little time..
But I wouldn't be worried after just two weeks.
I think it's still coming. Australia is just far away..

Is this a scam website?
www.directsupercenter.com
I placed an order with them, they didnt confirm my payment. About 2-3 weeks later I got a confirm e mail saying my order was being shipped. I replied with a question and got a reply with a G-Mail e mail address. Also im not sure about that mcafee direct security cert in the top corner of the website.
And the last thing that makes me suspicious is that on the 9th of March I got a tracking number for USPS
I just checked again today and was given this info on the USPS website when I logged in the tracking number:

To me it doesn't look like there is any record of anything being shipped yet..
My creditcard has just been charged too.
Wish I knew whether this was a legit site or not, that G-mail e mail address really makes me suspicious..Is this a scam website?
Well, it seems like a slow, small company (hence the slow shipping and gmail address). But it sounds legit. Your order is being shipped. That USPS tracking number message is exactly the same first one I get when I buy from a bigger site like Amazon, Newegg, Ebay, etc.
But from the looks of the website and the lack of information on Google about it, I wouldn't have tried buying something from it at first. I would have sent an email to Customer Service about a bogus order and see if they would actually try to help you. If they do help, then it's legit and you can place your order. If you don't receive an answer, go to a different website.
Either way, you lucked out because the shipment is coming. It'll take some time, though. Keep checking back with the USPS tracking info and it will tell you when they receive the package at each post office (the one they sent it from, and the one in your town).
Good luck with your, um, dietary stuff...

Most of the time with companies, they don't charge you automatically. Usually the charge doesn't come till the product leaves the warehouse. So as i expect they are probably a legit company. But I'm not an affiliate of there nor do i know there standingIs this a scam website?
Call your credit card immediately and
refuse payment.
If any merchandise is recieved, take
it back to the post office as non-requested shipping.
NEVER underestimate your intuition. If it feels
like a scam, it probably is.
hey if it charged two times it is a scam..Is this a scam website?

Is my USPS Parcel lost or was never shipped?
Hi..I am from Pakistan and my uncle who lives in US bought a guitar for me on eBay..He told me that the seller has told him that he shipped the guitar on august 10th through USPS Priority Mail International Service..My uncle gave me a tracking number to track..Its been 16 days since then and i haven't received the guitar and neither the status of the tracking number is updated. My uncle says that the seller has a good positive feedback and according to him he had sent it out...
But this is what the tracking says right now:
Class: Priority Mail International Parcels
Service(s): International Parcels
Status: Electronic Shipping Info Received
The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on August 10, 2009 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.
Any idea whats going on ?Is my USPS Parcel lost or was never shipped?
check with the shipper. Any tracing done through the postal service needs to be initiated by the shipper.Is my USPS Parcel lost or was never shipped?
If a shipping label is printed on a home computer, it is NOT "scanned" into the system when it is dropped off at a US Post Office ... there is neither the time nor the personnel available.
There is NO tracking available on a USPS Priority Int'l package ... you are probably referring to the customs form number (none of these foreign countries, like yours, will work with us on any kind of comprehensive tracking system).
Once the USPS hands the package off to another country's equivalent of a postal service, it's in THEIR hands ... and they often take three weeks or more, if it gets there at all (a Pakistani customs or postal worker along the way might like your guitar, too!).
Either keep waiting patiently, or see if your local customs office can track the package with the customs form number you provide them ...
