Here's an "International" question:
I have a watch en route from Hungary (post office to addressee - I'm in the USA). Magyar Posta says it has "left the country". USPS says it's being "prepared for shipment". Both events happened (in Budapest) about 9 days ago. Since then....crickets. Looking for someone with experience on how long it takes to get from Magyar Posta to USPS (and...should I see scanning events once in the hands of USPS?)
My last shipment from Europe (Austria) took several weeks, but that price tag had 2 fewer 0's in it, so I wasn't tracking it. I'm not even sure that shipment *had* a tracking number. This one does. The good news is that both Magyar Posta *and* USPS recognize the tracking number and (up to experimental error) agree on what happened up until 9 days ago. The bad news is that nothing reportable has happened in 9 days.
I have another coming from Russia - but that one does not merit tracking and all I know is when it went into the Russianpost system. I don't expect (and mostly don't really care) to hear anything about it until it shows up in my mailbox.
