yes the customs label can be used for tracking to some extent and
recently I noticed that more info was available than previously.
I would say this is a response to security issues (re: terrorism) and
the want of the USPS to stop having to pay for claims for merchandise
supposedly not delivered

Hi MOPO,
I have to agree with the "bogus" (Always different) information that
is forthcoming from the Post Office "various" clerks.
But......would like to pass this on for info, however, check it out
for yourself; please do no take my word for it.......I recently had
a shipment to Germany and received a dispute from the buyer that he
had not received it. For whatever reason I called Paypal and guess
what.....Paypal sent me to a department that assisted me for the
next few days......More important. THEY TRACKED THE SHIPMENT TO THE
ADDRESS IT WAS GOING BY USING THE "CUSTOMS LABLE" I had no idea
that there was even a remote chance that customs would do
this.....They Did! ....and of course I got my money!
Again........better check this all out for yourself, but.......it
was certainly news to me. Perhaps some of you out there already knew
this, but for you that have difficulties.....Check it out!
Anyway, on to more important things, Happy Holidays to all you guys
and gals of MOPO enjoy the season.........Vaughn (yeh!....I am still
on MOPO just a quiet bystander)

Isn't it interesting that postal clerk all seem to have a tenuous

timesI've gotten totally conflicting information about the same
issue from postal employees including their phone customer support
personnel. FRANC

Hi, Franc,
Not certain this is accurate, but I was told by an employee at the
Post Office that it costs $11.50 extra for a
tracking number for a package sent internationally from the
U.S. Quite an addition to the costly amount already when shipping
items overseas....

Recently there was a lot of back and forth on this board in connection
with PayPal Seller Protection in connection with International Sales.
For the record, here's what PayPal indicates are its guidelines:
" Protection for items not received
When you ship to the address on this page and provide proof that the
item was delivered, you're protected against claims for items not
received. For complete requirements, see terms.
Protection for unauthorized payments
When you ship to the address on this page and provide proof that the
item was shipped, you're protected against claims for unauthorized
payments. For complete requirement, see terms. "
In other words, merely providing proof of shipment is not enough to
claim Seller Protection for items not received. You must provide proof
of delivery. About a week ago, after the flurry of e-mails on this
board, I tried out Stamps.com and shipped my first package by
International Air Mail. So far my tracking record on Stamps.com
indicates that I've provided Electronic Shipping information. This is NO
indication in the Tracking History that the package was shipped by USPS.
I'm going to track this package closely to see if delivery confirmation
is ever provided and will report back.
