hey thanks for that Steve, the sender told me ems was delivered or at least transported by fedex, but i checked the fedex site and it didnt recognize the number. auspost however does, looks like it cleared customs on Friday, should be here tomorrow as i expected. well how does that effect you and using ems wirecare? i mean its still not great as there is a 3 day vacant space from the point it starts export processing to clearing australian customs, so to call it tracking is a bit generous, but better than i thought. when i saw the usps tracking info on their site it just reminded me of all the other usps 'tracking' i have ever encountered, but this is somewhat better.
that being said, even though ups express saver has its issues regarding tracking and delivery too, as it can sometimes be delayed/detoured at the last moment when you have hung around waiting for it, due to not being first priority; but its reasonably priced and generally pretty fast, with decent and detailed tracking most of the time. it seems to be detoured if there are other priority items on the truck going elsewhere on a deadline, this can delay it for 2-3 days, but usually still gets delivered here within the week its ordered
