USPS not delivering to Australia

[Tha_Phantom]

Don't they still have Fed Ex and UPS at BBTS?

Yeah BBTS has various shipping options. Your only issue would be if it's already in transit.

Haven't got it sent yet, but I'll have to make sure I choose the right one. Gonna cost me a kidney to get it posted anyway. Now I remember why I stopped using BBTS

Crap, I have a USPS package in transit right now.

I checked all my items in transit last night. I'm mostly safe, except of all things an MISB G1 Jazz I had being sent by USPS hasn't moved since August 24. "Cleared and awaiting international departure" is the last update.

Can you see any tracking? If you can, and it appears to have already left the US, then all is well (probably), but if not I suspect it'll be turned back.

That's a bad sign. My parcel, from a few days later than that, spent a week and a half saying only tracking information provided (not even confirmation that it had been received by the post office), and then it was returned.

Drats. Well I guess I'll just let it play out for the time being. If it gets returned to sender then I'll have him ship it again via Fedex or something.

Mine shows it's been through Hong Kong maybe 5 days ago on the USPS tracking, but it's not showing up on the Auspost tracking yet.

Oh dear - I have something non TF coming from the US - it's gone via Germany, but hasn't moved since August 31... not good...

I have a bunch of items on the way from China that are taking somewhat longer than usual to get here too. Might be connected to the huge port blockages in Asia about now. One particular item supposedly left Shanghai (international departure) in mid-August, then re-appeared last week in Guangzhou. It has now departed internationally again It might have arrived in Australia today, but I'm not sure how to interpret "airline reception".

I think it's fair to say that COVID disruption has now definitely hit postal services.
