It's best to try and put your faith in the letter reaching the destination rather than putting faith in the tracking system which can be faulty at the best of times, but when it does work it helps put your mind at ease that the item has arrived.
Exactly! In my case, items to other parts will take no less than 8 days. Even if it's South America, North America. I sent an item to Uruguay and it took almost 20 days! I sent several items on the same day, most of them with the tracking service. Many of them went to Europe and arrived a lot before, having tracked them normally of course. It has happened to me before, though, that I sent an item and its tracking system didn't work properly. I sent an item to Germany and its last update showed it arrived to the Frankfurt airport, and then didn't have any further notice. I sent a claim through the local Post Office of my country, they haven't answered yet, and the celeb I wrote to has already replied!
P.S.: This has happened to me with an item sent to the UK, hopefully it arrived well, but it'll take time to know, as it was sent to Roger Waters
