Not sure if it prevents insurance though (although it will if it's genuinely over $40) xx
I appreciate your help Vhal but I really need a US member to verify the policies and options available to me with USPS. I'm not sure how many US members are on CE.org but...

Driv3r has just shown me a tracking # that was provided with a
"priority Mail international" shipment he received, originating from Philadelphia
(PA) here in United States and being delivered to Korea where he lives.

NOW I DEFINITELY KNOW I'm being given wrong information. I'm extremely frustrated right now.
I'm going to try to verify information with a USPS phone agent (on phone right now)

Exclamation Finally some real answers...

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 just spoke with a USPS phone agent and cleared everything up. 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#.
