The...You are absolutely right about record keeping.<br />There are no tracking numbers for international first class shippings. But there should be a LN number which is the customs number. With that, your customer in India can check with their customs whether the package is still in customs - it is a possibility and worth the try.Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364146526985747601.post-55311646381023821992013-02-19T10:50:18.343-06:002013-02-19T10:50:18.343-06:00Well, good luck on that one.

It was sent Priority Int'l mail, insured (tracking number included).<br /><br />It never arrived, nor was it returned.<br /><br />I have provided all the documentation to USPS, including color photos, original Etsy page, PayPal receipt of funds, PayPal and Etsy fees, correspondence between myself and my customer. I'm presently waiting on yet another form so I can jump through some more hoops.<br /><br />I can't even get reimbursed the postal fees, about $17. So not only am I out the money for the earrings, but also all the fees for the original transaction fees to both Etsy and PayPal, but also the fee for reimbursing the customer via PayPal, and the listing fees. So altogether, not counting any profit I would have made, I lost close to $50 out of my pocket.<br /><br />USPS does not go out of their way to pay out for insured items, and with their red ink and tight budget, they make it as difficult as possible for you to be reimbursed. That was admitted to me by our own local postmaster, whom I happen to know personally.<br /><br />Wishing you luck, man. I hope it wasn't expensive.Katherine Palochakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11065172632106994068noreply@blogger.com
