That is correct, once it leaves a US coastal sorting center and enters a foriegn customs the package is off the grid for a variable amount of time.
Ive had packages reach the middle of nowhere New Zealand in 12 days using USPS First Class from AZ and Ive had multiple, but one was the worst, take 21 days in customs in Canada.
Right now my best amount of customs lag time is with marking small packages as gifts with little, ($15/less), value. Large boxes sporting full collector value and shipped priority with tracking can cost from $30 to $75 and I see them regularly held in Canadian, AUS, and the UK customs for 5-9 days.
Tracking is a joke as far as PayPal is concerned, I can pull a CMA by putting delivery Confirmation on a package as long as they get a number they don't see to care unless the case is escalated. And to compound things if you don't have the guys phone number on the paper work then they cant call him to come get the package when there is a problem or a money due issue, cause they will not call yours.
And I'm currently being told to mismark all packages going to APO/FPO as trivial boring things because theft seems to be high lately. Your experience will vary so good luck.
