Frustrated with USPS

[JEC777 13]

My Fiance sent me his I-134, birth cert, divorce cert etc via USPS International Express on the 2nd of November and was told delivery takes 3 to 5 days. I have checked the website to track it and it was scanned at San Francisco 3 days ago, no movement since then.....Uugh, it better turn up!!

Has anyone here had experience with USPS Int. Exp. to Australia? The kids and I are really hoping to be with my partner for Christmas and the clock is ticking!! I have everything ready to post our PKT 3, just waiting for these last forms and then hopefully the Embassy will schedule an Interview nice and quick.....Come on USPS!!!

Well I have sent packages to Chile through USPS and once it stops scanning in the USA that means it has been sent internationally. When I ask why it hasn't been updated or why I have no idea where it is I am told well we cannot track it internationally once it leaves USA they can track it through their postal service. Which means u pay extra to have it tracked and once it leave USA u cannot track it anymore which is ridiculous. When I had my fiance go check they couldn't use that number either. It arrived on time no problem but tracking with USPS is HORRIBLE! Use FedEx they are a million times better and it showed me every where it was scanned and the times. My package arrived on time. I believe it was supposed to take 5-7 business days and it took the full 7 but it arrived. I've sent several things with USPS and it always arrives the only problem is their tracking is horrible. If it is past the 3-5 days ur fiance in USA can claim it as lost or something like that. I had to do that once and it had been sitting in the post office in Chile for like 2 weeks.

Good luck!

I like FedEx for international delivery as you can see it go from place to place until it arrives in customs at the destination. For Kazakhstan that is one big black hole and you only know when the package is delivered. Some times they update the status when it clears customs, some times they do not. It is much more expensive than the USPS international mail, but you do get what you pay for IMHO. Most of the items I have sent arrived in 3 days. The one time it was longer was due to customs and a Kazakh holiday.

I hope it arrives soon,

Dave

Yep, hopefully it is just the tracking system that is unreliable and that the package is in transit. Fingers crossed!!

Thanks everyone!

I sent a package to my friend in Geelong via USPS. The guy told me it will take 6-10 business days to get there and he was right, it didn't get there ' til the 10th day.
