I have goodies coming from the UK and the Seller said Royal Mail tracking should be trackable on USPS in a few days. I did some search on the subject but can't find a definite answer - does anyone have experience with this?

 

Thx!

 

That's sure interesting, been informed that it doesn't work the other way around

 

We shall see in couple of days..

 

Post office worldwide who joined EMS (Express mail service) will have benefit of their Express Mail / package trackable from any post office website. For more about EMS see http://www.ems.post/
If Royal mail is an EMS then it should be trackable even from here in Indonesia post office website.

 

I use an app called Track Checker on my phone. It has every postal and express service from A to Z. You can select ones to be favorites or often used. Royal Mail is one of mine and it tracks packages across the pond for me and then USPS picks up the last leg.

 

Good info! Thanks!

 

I should point out I have an Android phone, so I do not know whether the developer has an iPhone app is you are using Apple.

 

what?!! are you saying there are other phones out there other than iPhones?

 

My wife uses iPhone. I cannot figure out how she does not use a microscope when using that tiny screen. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 1. When the third generation of the Note is released this year I will upgrade to it.

 

Wonder if we are all singing from the same hymn sheet? International packages may have different tracking systems from international letter!
I can certainly track a USPS International letter as far as its' point of departure but once in the UK it is on its' own . Royal Mail have actually confirmed this.

 

It looks like is working. This is what we have so far..

Day 1: Royal Mail: Your item, posted on 06/02/13 with reference XYZ has been received at our international mail centre and is being made ready for despatch overseas; USPS: nothing.

Day 2 (a.m. EST): Royal Mail: Your item, posted on 06/02/13 with reference XYZ has been passed to the overseas postal service for delivery in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; USPS: We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece

Day 2 (p.m. EST): Royal Mail: Your Item has reach the destination country; USPS: We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece
