USPS Package Tracking not Active

jake1825

Hello Everyone.

On the 2nd of December I ordered myself some items from Teespring which is based in USA. There was a slight delay in shipping, but It finally started moving.
On the 18th it arrived in the first sorting facility at Anaheim, California. The next day it left and the next day it arrived in the Los Angeles (90009, CA) sorting facility which I believe is the international sorting facility. On December 20, 2013 , 12:59 pm US time it got processed and it departed the same day. Now it has been three days since and I know it might be in a short period, but I have no idea or info, both USPS or AnPost if it is in Ireland.

Does anybody know at which airport do the packages fly to Europe or Ireland?

Thanks,
Jakub

======================================

I have no idea if its in air or somewhere in europe. People say "They do not track worldwide. Once it leaves the USA it stops tracking. I got my package delivered and it still said its in USA".

Should I call them or what?

Normally with USPS tracked parcels, once they arrive in Ireland they are trackable on the an post website.
With Christmas holidays and high volumes of parcels I'd expect delays. Keep trying the an post tracking over the next few days.

Yes I have tried the AnPost tracking website with the same tracking code. They don't have it. People say that sometimes they put some of the parcels on ships and could take up to 3 weeks. But why on ships if it got sorted on the airport, where the international sorting facility is. It started the journey on the 18th and tomorrow is going to be one week since the last update. Aslo due to Christmas and New Yearld I am starting to think that it will arrive in the new year...

I don't really need it for now as it is only clothes but USPS really suck in comparison to UPS. I once got an Apple package (i ordered a blue nessie from apple store) through UPS and the tracking was even precise in Ireland.

USPS = agency of the federal government of the United States
UPS = private company

You shouldn't expect any updates on the USPS site after your parcel leaves their facility. I've often found that items with a tracking number on USPS never show up on the An Post site (even though they are eventually delivered)

Your poll doesn't make sense either, GLS is not a global carrier

I ordered from teespring on the 9th, they had shipping problems and it wasn't sent until the 21st. I got it yesterday.

Give it some more time and it might arrive.
