How do I track USPS from Singapore?

Question

I recently ordered an item from ebay. The seller is in Singapore and he provided me with an Ra number( Singapore tracking number) I was able to track the package while it was in Singapore and it said that it was dispatched to the U.S.The Singpost website said that tracking is available in Singapore only. I would assume that when the package got here to the U.S. it was assigned a USPS tracking number. Is there a way to track the package now that it should be in the U.S.?It has been about 10 days.

Answer 1

Never, ever assume anything when shipping to/from international locations if it is going standard (post office)-- not a company like FED-EX, UPS, DHL etc.

From my understanding, and I have worked in shipping departments in the past, you cannot track the package as of now. Once they leave the country, they are...well gone. "out of sight out of mind" you might say. Even USPS global is not tracked outside the States.

The package should arrive this week or the week after. Generally that type of transit is slow so be patient.

PS (again from my past experience) USPS tracked packages have tracking labels generated from the USPS. They will not give international packages a special tracking id/label. That is not cost effective. .

Answer 2

i'm a regular ebay user in Singapore.

Whenever i ship stuff to america, once it leaves singapore and reaches the city in america, the tracking is not available anymore, not even via usps.

let's hope u get the package in a couple days, otherwise you could contact the seller. u bought insurance right?

good luck!

Once the package has been scanned in the US, it will appear in in USPS tracking.  You can contact USPS or the USA tracking system.
