I HATE USPS service

Hi all, I am very pissed with the USPS. Maybe most of you don't use the Registered Mail service, but sometimes I do, and recently I sent 4 requests to the US, all with tracking numbers. In my previous experience, I was even able to track one item until it was delivered.

Now, for all these items, all it says on its stupid tracking section is: "Processed Through Sort Facility ISC MIAMI FL (USPS) Your item has been processed through our sort facility in ISC MIAMI FL (USPS) at 11:01 pm on November 22, 2014."

I am worried, as I sent personal stuff (cd booklets). Is it normal for them to be sitting there for 5 days already? Do they sort mail on Sundays?

Thank you.

Although i dont think its normal to sit there for five days.. but they do not sort mail on sundays... I would just wait like another day or so and then call USPS and ask them about it

There tends to be a lot of issues with USPS tracking… especially when entering another country. I'm sure it will still arrive, but you won't see it through the tracking.

I live in Canada and they don't do registered lettermail to the u.s. anymore because they told me it cant be tracked once it gets out of Canada. Parcels to the u.s. can be tracked but not lettermail so I think its something to do with usps not wanting to bother keeping track or put the tracking information into their system for international lettermail.You are just wasting your money sending registered mail to the us from your country so just send regular lettermail and don't send anything you cant afford to lose.

Guys, thanks for your comments! I always read that tracking doesn't work for items sent from other countries to the U.S. but I've done this before and it has worked! Could someone living in the US give me a hand with this? I have tried calling from Paraguay but the USPS customer service number doesn't work from here! I would greatly appreciate if someone could make that call for me from the US :) Thanks and I hope my requests get to their destination!

No postal service can guarantee tracking once it gets outside of the home country.

It sometimes does and sometimes doesn't.

I'd adviser you once again it is a waste of money.

If you google international phone codes for your country it will tell you how to dial abroad. Just copying the number won 't work.
