I was never able to either, Lisa. I was always sending small bubble envelopes before. I think the reason I can this time is that it is a larger envelope. I signed up for a text everytime Jonna's packaged was scanned. To me this looks ridiculous, but I don't know what might the USPS processes are that would send it all around the US and then back to the same destination point to leave the US. I think it will take Jonna less time to receive it once it left US soil than it did to navigate the US.
It reads from bottom to top chronologically and much of the movement is not on this online description. The package went back to at least three cities in Florida and finally departed from Palm Beach, not Philly.

Wow, that's great! I just saw that you can have updates to your phone/email. I singed up for Janines package. It's a great tool!

I mailed one package in a small bubble envelope and then I mailed another package the next day in a 8x10 envelope that they told me would be best. I asked for delivery confirmation, they said I couldn't track her package.

I think I may have to start using another Post Office!

I got a new postmaster about 3 years ago and everything has been tremendously better, including not being overcharged for lightly filled bubble envelopes anymore.

Well, my packet has a lot of stories to tell.
On the way from Paris to Cologne the airplane passed my house Rolling on the floor laughing
It's about 100 miles from Cologne to here. Hope they don't send it by airplane to Brussels first.

It sounds like the package I sent to a friend in Beaumont, Texas. The package started at the Port Arthur Post Office and need to go about 35 mile to Beaumont. Instead they sent it 100 mile to Houston then another 100 miles back to Beaumont. And they can't figure out why the Postal Service is losing money.

There has been no new scan activity from Jonna's package.

Jay, Cheryl, Erica and Karen Holt, I received seeds from ishare for you Friday and have them in envelopes ready to mail out to you tomorrow. If roads are still icy, it might be Tuesday before I get them out.

You sent plenty Lisa.
I am not going out this morning but we are changing over to all rain this afternoon and are expecting flooding so the ice should disappear later today. Winter has been...special, this year.

Brussels is twice as far from me as Cologne. Now it might go first to a Belgium sorting center, before they bring it to me Hilarious!
The fastest delivery from the USA was in 5 days, the longest in about 4 weeks.
International trading challenges your patience.

I recently sent a small bubble envelope to England and the customs number tracking says it's been sent to MALAYSIA!
It hasn't been updated since leaving Kuala Lumpur a week ago. I'm hoping that is just a mistake with the number. I can't fathom how they would have misdirected the envelope so badly. The address was printed very clearly in block letters on both the envelope and form. Sad

Hooray, Jonna! Hurray!

I'm so glad that they arrived!

My envelope for England has apparently returned from its Malaysian vacation and is now back in Atlanta!
I'm guessing that I'll find it in my mailbox soon. Rolling my eyes.
