Hi. I bought an item from Japan that’s supposed to be arriving via sea mail (no tracks) and it’s been 3 months now so I know it should be arriving soon. I’ve been checking my mailbox everyday but my question is who is delivering it? Is it USPS? I can’t find any answers online and I just want to know how other people have had their experience receiving sea mail because USPS usually delivers around 4-5pm but if it’s some other carrier I might have to check a little later than that. Any insight on this would be great!
Although I don't know about "Sea Mail" to the USA, I do know from my own experiences from many years ago, that method of shipping is way too unreliable & that after 3 months, it's no longer a question of "when" an item should be arriving, but more so, a question of "if" the item arrives... The "un-tracked sea mail" shipping method fell out of favor years ago ...way too risky for both seller and buyer....
Its probably sitting on ship in Long Beach in a container waiting to off loaded. Last I heard there were hundreds of ships with hundreds of containers each sitting anchored waiting to be offloaded.
