Usps is not tracking my package

[kneedeeppow]

i had the good fortune to spend some time( 3 seasons) working in the US in the snow industry a few years ago.upon first arriving in LA i was warned that usps was average incase i wanted to send anything back here to New Zealand.i took the chance and have continued to do so with ebay items and have had simular happenings mentioned in previous thread posts,no tracking,item not existing and so on and to my surprise the packages showed up.my recent rcm order tho is a new one.the tracking showed the item being picked up,sent to mail house then departing New York,there the trail goes cold and that was a week ago.am still hopeful that my motor mount and pinions show.

I have had this problem as well and was told that the number is a delivery confimation number and there is no way of assuring the item will scanned before it is delivered and that it is to be used to confirm delivery not to track items. but it sucks how hard is it to scan when they receive it at the first sorting facility.

I am supposed to have a package coming from HC. Starting to get a little worried here. Most of the time, Express only takes a few days.

According to this tracking information, the plane crashed or something.

NO Scans inside the United States.

Your item left HONG KONG AIR MAIL CENTRE, HONG KONG on October 10, 2009. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

Strange thing is:

About the time this was shipped, the USPS site kept saying "Down for system upgrades"

Anyone else experience anything like this?

6 days just to get to the US? This is Express?

They can be inconsistent, that's for sure.
