I learned that USPS plays fast and loose with the truth after a bag I shipped International Priority Mail to the UK took an agonizing 27 days to reach its destination. USPS customs tracking insisting, all the while, that it had departed the US two days after it shipped.
My buyer finally contacted Royal Mail to check on its status 9 days into the ordeal. She then notified me that the bag was still sitting on a San Francisco tarmac. The reason given? To maximize profit, USPS had decided to delay take-off until the plane filled.
I was so angry that my buyer had to learn the truth from Royal Mail that I immediately called USPS and demanded to speak with a supervisor who stubbornly clung to the official lie until I angrily informed her that Royal Mail had, in effect, busted them. Nervous laughter and an apology ended our conversation. In the end, our poor
Prada sat in a cargo hold for more than two weeks.
It could be held up on your end so perhaps you should contact Customs.
Odds are your wristlet will still find its way to you. Good Luck!
