Is USPS International Express any better now?

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if any of you have used USPS to ship from the US to an overseas country using Express,

And if it is any better than the the 6-7 week post time it has been during this virus time?

Thanks!

Still waiting on a package stuck in Chicago since April.

Every other package that didn’t go through Chicago has come about 5 business days longer than normal.

Yep its been crazy. So you haven’t sent again recently and its only been an extra 5 days shipping time ?

Delays are happening on all fronts right now no matter the provider of your package going overseas. I’ve been waiting on a package to finally deliver to Australia for almost a month and half now. Others on efour have expressed similar issues. I’ve heard that if you want to do international right now the only reliable option is through FedEx but I’d only consider that if your item has value because it’s not cheap.

I’m the buyer in this situation (australia).

Packages that get processed in Chicago never leave and the ones processed in LA or Miami (in my experience) have been moving just at a slower rate.

Not sure how the USPS works and determines where its processed at.

No, still the same. I´m currently waiting for a 3 day express delivery by USPS. Was sent two weeks ago, didn´t even leave the country.

Understood guys. Was hoping that with restrictions easing that things would be improving. Guess not :slightly_frowning_face:
Thanks for the help :blush:

Shipped to AUS via USPS Express a week ago. Package went from Chicago to Indy back to Chicago. It’s just sitting there now.

Same boat as cosrob.

Damn @gemmintpokemon, ! seems like Chicago has become the bermuda triangle lol.

I am looking into using FEDEX, Is there anyone who has successfully used these sending to Australia ?

Did you have to include a commercial invoice stating it was only a gift? When i sent to PSA it got held up because it was missing a commercial invoice

And ended up getting slowed down anyway lol

Any help appreciated :blush:

Probably where mine is as well. I went with registered mail so won’t ever know for certain but going to AUS seems to have the trend of going through Chicago first.

Have just received two packages with UPS. They both left the US from Philadelphia. Both arrived after 4-5 business days.
So something works while something else doesn’t

Think it’ll be very hit or miss atm.
