    I bought something from the USA and it is being sent over to me in the UK using First Class International Delivery, The tracking from the USPS (United States Postal Service) website does not allow me to track it outside of the USA which is why it cuts off at "Depart USPS Sort Facility". Am I able to now track this item with Royal Mail as they are the ones that take care of the International packages arriving in the UK?

    Another question, what is the likelihood of me getting a customs charge on my package?


    And the second post, also edited.

    I have had 3 packages from the US in the past and only one of them had a customs charge. The package that is now on it's way is also marked as a gift which the sender said would avoid the custom's charges.

    Why would it matter if I edited my post?
    No wonder this forum puts the newbie post onto my profile, it's a shame really that you have to gang up on someone who wanted a simple question answering

    Forum etiquette. The next person who needs help will be able to read the thread.

    No, nothing wrong with editing, however removing it completely makes the whole thread useless to others who come afterwards with the same question.

    :o
