Hey everyone.
Do you know anything about USPS? I live in Ontario, Canada and I ordered some reel strips from California. It was shipped via parcel post, no tracking number on Jan 28 and it haven't arrived since. I was wondering if you had the same experience with USPS. I'm pretty much a newbie to buying parts via the internet...and a newbie to USPS/Canada Post. garfield

A bunch of border-town Canadian members have neighboring U.S. postal address boxes they receive mail at....
Makes a lot faster to take a ride and pick up if you're not too far.

i shipped something to a family member in Ontario once using the Express Mail box and it added a few days to what i would have expected; i think it was 5 or 6 business days total.  with your package being parcel post it wouldn't surprise me if USPS takes a month!  sorry for the bad news but you're pretty much stuck waiting since you don't have a tracking or confirmation number.  good luck, i hope you get your reel strips tomorrow!! lightning bolt

Get the Customs form number from the seller.

If they used the long form you can get a lot of information off of the USPS website. Just use the tracking feature off the website and put the customs form # in.

If they usd the short form at least you can tell if the package was shipped. That's all it'll tell you.

The customer will have that # on their receipt from the Post Office.
