I know someone whose son is a supr. with USPS. I posed the question to
him about writing routing info like Via France or Via Japan on an
envelope and whether it makes any difference.
Here's what he said, FWIW:
My son went with this to Washington. Apparently, there is a large book
called the "International Mail Manual". According to whomever Dave
talked to, there is NO way that the public can request or demand the
route that something is to be shipped internationally. In other words,
it is at the discretion of the postal system as to how it gets wherever
it is going.
I read that as if it was leaving say Washington, D.C.---it could fly out
from there and go one route. But, if leaving say California, it might go
another route. However the particular regional distribution center has
it set up. For example---our mail goes by truck to Baltimore---and then
out from there.
