a question to American folks
An ebay USA customer bought an LP from me via egay, I mailed it by Russian registered mail. According to the tracking it left Russia on 09.12.2012. The American says he didnt receive it yet, what I really doubt.
The russian tracking does not work in US postal tracking, I heard they change them into their own.
Any idea how can I find that shipment in US postal service? To write to them?
Any assistance appreciated!
Thanks,
Igor

I'm not american but I can help.
Take your Tracking Number and enter it here
Click "Track & Confirm" on the left hand side.
How long ago was it shipped? Sometimes international postal sites take some time to update the tracking on their end.
A lot of postal websites do not update after the package leaves the country. You have the check the destination countries website for updates

It left Russia on 09.12.2012
How does the Tracking Number change? It should always be in a standard XX ### ### ### XX format with the first 2 letters and last 2 letters staying the same based on the country it is being shipped from.

This has nothing to do with Igor as a seller/buyer. I’m simply stating that I have never heard of Tracking Numbers changing.
I would like the number posted here so that I can look for it myself.

Guys, once I fully refunded (LP+delivery) to an american for "non-delivered" registered LP on egay. Maybe I was too damn naive... I belived him....
And its true that Russian tracking number is changed by American Post. But now I started to doubt that another american didnt receive LP. I just smell that he might be a simple cheater. So I sent an email on behalf of that american to US post. They responded from the post office of the buyer...and said that they regret an blah. blah, blah and asking to call them. I wrote back asking to give me an officer to track and find that damn package. So I`m waiting now...
If it doesnt help I will start search from Russian post, according to tracking info the item left Russia, I recall 7 or 9 of December. So I`m sure the item is long ago in US...
But anyway, here`s the tracking #
RA222907234RU
Long story, but smelling...I must say...
Any good help is appreciated...

I also had similar problems with shipping from Germany to USA. The registered package never showed up on us post tracking site, while it appeared on the german one.
After a month I asked german post service to do some research, it took another 6 weeks, but they actually found the package in the end and delivered the whole thing. This happened to me twice.
Did you fill in a customs form/sticker for the package?

For what it is worth, I am still waiting for this lp that was supposedly shipped from Russia around the 1st of December
I doubt the buyer is trying to rip you off, I have had nothing but bad luck dealing with Russian sellers and I won't ship there either anymore because of the crap Russian Postal Service. I think the fault is the Russian Postal Service, not the sellers integrity. I can have a package sent from Germany that will arrive inside a week but Russian packages take 6 weeks plus???
Here is a link that pretty much sums up the situation. Take it for whatever you wish. This is a longstanding problem with packages coming to the US. It does not seem such a problem with European packages from Russia as much but delivery time is still ridiculously long

I hope you get it straightened out and find your package but to state that you "smell" an American looking for a freebie, I think that is a unfair conclusion with no facts to support it. FWIW, I tried to run your tracking number on the Russian tracking site and it would not even take your number. The prefix they accept starts with YP, not RA and whats with the extra barcode thing the site requires? You did not supply that with your tracking number
I realize the article is from 2010 but apparently, nothing has been done, no reforms have been enacted, to make the Russian Postal Service more reliable
