Try ordering internationally. If you love the mystery of short- distance domestic tracking , you will be over-the-top with overseas tracking.
there can be a week or more before your order is even processed. Then, the magic day comes where one reads “departing origin facility” in the shippers’ country (And that is if the origin county even uses tracking, and has it accessible in your language) . It’s on the way!
…. and then things go radio-silent for a month/plus. Much of the time, there will be no interim updates until the package reaches US customs. In the meantime…
Who knows what is going on with your stuff … is it in a container free- floating on the ocean? In a rocket launched into space? Is it being carried by errant sherpas through Himalayan passes and through desert wastelands? Is it being eaten by goats in South America? Are terrorists holding it hostage? Is it being blown through a typhoon-battered jungle?
And then… after sufficient time passes to the point you’ve forgotten ordering something… you get an update that your item reached customs! Yay!! And then… sits there for two weeks. THEN you receive it.
Ironically, there have been times I’ve had better luck with global transactions from unstable areas than I’ve had within the US two states away. Go figure.
But hey…if you love tracking suspense … this is for you!
