Global Shipping Program and Tracking Numbers for Local Carrier??

I noticed that with GSP, you get two tracking numbers, a Global and Domestic (basically USPS) tracking number. However, when will I get the actual tracking number for the carrier that delivers packages in my country Canada. In Canada we use Canada Post as the local carrier and I'm assuming that the package will be handed off to Canada Post by GSP once it enters Canada. However, I do not see a third tracking number or any tracking number for Canada Post?

 

By the way, you cannot use the Domestic  (USPS) tracking number on Canada Post's site because they do not accept it which I confirmed after a phone call to their customer support in case anyone thought that it worked.

The UAA number is the umbrella tracking: It yields the USPS number now, and you'll get the Canada Post number later, after processing at the GSP center.

Re: Global Shipping Program and Tracking Numbers for Local Carrier??

USPS isn't used after the package leaves the depot in Kentucky so the global tracking number should give you tracking info on eBay once the package leaves the depot.  But the gsp tracking is very inconsistent and often does not update when it should.   

Ebay doesn't specifically  give you a CP tracking number as the global number should give you updates. But the last time I did order a gsp item, I was able to find the CP number after the package left mississauga.  I can't remember exactly how I found it bur I think I clicked on the global number and when the info popped up, the  CP number was shown...but I had to hunt for it.
