International shipping question

[stinkycheese1]

Hi everyone. I'm recently buying a coin from dooly that is being sent from the UK to where I live, in the US. He gave me the UK tracking number and I've been tracking it on the UK Royal Mail website. Currently it says:

Your item, posted on 20/08/07 with reference LY229655420GB has been passed to the overseas postal service for delivery in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

 

I think this is the last thing it's going to say, because in their website it says once the package leaves the UK you have to use a US tracking website. However, now that it's in the US, I don't know what postal service has it, is it UPS.com? USPS.com? Fedex? And when I enter the number on these sites (the UK number) it comes up invalid. So how do I continue tracking the package in the US?

 

Thank you!

I don't know for certain, but it sounds as if the U.S. Post Office, as opposed to one of the other couriers, will be delivering it. Sit back, relax and enjoy the wait. When you get it you will have it.

The last coin I had shipped from UK took about 10 days and I was happy with the time. I've heard of worse.

Does anyone know how to track it using the US postal system?

I bought something quite a while back from overseas and it took 3 weeks to get it. Never be in a hurry when it's coming from overseas.

No way to, I believe. They're usually not too slow, though, so just wait around a week or so.

That is correct, unless I am mistaken and their computer systems are integrated. It is the same when you sell and ship something out of the US. This creates a problem with Paypal payments (I believe) because you risk chargebacks since tracking is required in the event of a dispute.
