no phone calls are needed
just go to USPS.com and enter the info
I'll bet the package Helmut is talking about was not sent Priority Mail anyway

Helmut,
Regarding the Priority Mail Shipment, your seller had to fill out
the larger customs declaration form. In the upper left corner just
under the bar code is a customs tracking number. Your seller can
call the post office or its possible you can from your end, that
most definitely can determine if your package is still in
customs, backlogged from the Holidays or if it has been
released. Its a 13 digit code that ends in US.
Try that. That is one definite example of why sending Priority Mail
from the US has an advantage.

Priority Mail from the US around November 15... Unfortunately, the
seller can't show a tracking number, so I had to file a Paypal
claim. Several other purchases from the US are also delayed,
regardless of the service used.

16 hasn't been delivered as well, last tracking status is from November 18.

>> I'd like to just follow up on my International Air Mail test
using Stamps. com. I sent out parcels by International Air Mail on
12.12.11 to Australia and Europe. I was told that this method of
shipping takes only 10 days or less, usually only five, as opposed
to Priority International which allegedly can take longer if the
parcel is stopped by costoms. I was also told that if the postage
is purchased through stamps.com ,adequate tracking and delivery
information would be provided to satisfy an Ebay/PayPal claim of
non-delivery should the package be lost or should the buyer simply
lie and claim non-receipt. Well, eighteen days later one of my four
shipments, the one to Australia arrived. I know this because I
received an e-mail from the satisfied buyer. Stamps. com provided
not one bit of information in connection with tracking or delivery
except to indicate that there was an Electronic Shipping
notification on my part. Contrary to the myth, spread on this board, Internati!
onal Air Mail is not quicker or more reliable than Priority
International and in the event of a claim of non-delivery or
non-receipt, the buyer will be hard pressed to using the alleged
tracking information that is provided by Stamps.com to substantiate
shipment and delivery. I plan to continue to use Priority
International for items valued over $150 and will pass the expense
on to the buyer. That's the only assurance a buyer can have against
bogus international PayPal/Ebay claims. FRANC
