Ok, so here it is:

After speaking with a USPS International phone agent, I finally know EXACTLY what is and what isn't offered for International shipping.

I finally understand what to do now. I was right. USPS does not offer tracking on Priority or First Class shipping international. When I send your package, I will have to fill out a customs form. As long as I use my own box for the package (and not one of the USPS flat rate boxes) it is considered a "parcel". Once the customs form is filled out I am given a copy with a CP#. People have been confusing this CP# with a tracking#. the CP# is NOT a tracking# it is a customs registration number. All along you and others have been using these CP#'s to track, but the thing is, tracking a package using a CP# is NOT guaranteed. The phone agent explained to me that as the package ships, neither USPS or any postal service in any country is NOT REQUIRED to scan the package into the system w/ the CP#. This means, if you use the CP# to track and you see information appear online, that is a "courtesy" only. Whoever scanned it is doing it as a "favor" to whoever wants to see the package progress.

So now I finally understand. Thank you GOD ALMIGHTY!

I can give these CP#'s to everyone I ship to international, but they will not be guaranteed to track the whole way. If someone in Korea got your package and just didn't feel like scanning it, then you would not see the information of it's arrival in Korea using the CP#.
