USPS Express mail international issues

[Stormquist]

Hi,

Have any of you shipped anything using the USPS EMI service lately?

Last thursday I had two packages sent out from two different locations in the US. Both arrived at their closest USPS ISC the day after, on the 11th.

Both also shows through tracking as having left on the 11th aswell, but only one of the packages have been delivered on time. (it's a 3-5 day service).

The package that did arrive was sent out of the Los Angeles ISC.

Here's the tracking info for the package that did not:

Class: Express Mail International®
Status: International Dispatch

Your item left the United States from ISC SAN FRANCISCO (USPS) at 8:46 am on June 11, 2011. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

Detailed Results:

Have anyone else had any issues as of late, and if so; what was the outcome?

If it's coming to Canada, Canada Post is / was on strike.

and wherever it's going, it's at the mercy of the post office in the destination country.....if they don't live up to their end of the "Express Mail" agreement, your package is going to be late

This is why I love FedEx P1. USPS is a joke.
