Have you tried typing in the tracking number on Royal Mail and Parcelforce websites?

Yes says information on your package is not available yet.

A couple weeks ago i shipped to france (from the US) using usps registered, it would not show any tracking info on the site but if i called (and waited 30-40 minutes) they could use their "internal" system and see where it was. Little pissed myself when it happened, so the employee said he would tell his "super", guess my complaint didnt fix the usps system, lol, either way try giving to 1800 number a call to see where its at. GL

yeah ... i can confirm , as it was for me : i have paid an extra cost for a tracked shipping , but i never was able to track anything ... ( even if my package were finaly arrived....) sigh..

The package finally arrived today! Royal Mail had to sign for it. Cheesy

Tracking still hasn't updated, interesting to see if eventually it will.

Here's a pic, the coin looks beautiful, wow Casascius made some beauties, wish it was loaded...
Maybe in another life!

Thanks astrocity1981.

And here's a pic!

Anything more on something like http://www.trackitonline.ru/ ?

Often when it hits the UK .... they can change the tracking number

Something that looks at it end to end, like trackitonline, may help

Nope it's one of these unfortunate cases where the tracking doesn't work I guess.
I tried several tracking sites with the same results.

Happened to me...their internal services can track it, you need to call if the web tracking doesnt work.

I am in the UK ... and recieve a fair bit from the US

USPS priority express, uses Parcelforce at this end to deliver, and they are heavy for import duties (they open up packages, inspect, then look online to attribute values to determine the import duty due)

USPS priority, use Royal Mail at this end to deliver, and they are a lot fairer on taxes (trust stated values)

I generally request USPS priority. Its slower, but cheaper for both sender and reciever

I would have used priority but it did not provide tracking. To the uk only way to track would be registered mail. Registered mail first class was $26 and priority was $31.00. I chose registered because some sellers informed me that delivery time is not that far apart. It's frustrating that I paid extra for the registered service and can not track it. I will go again tom. to see. I think from now on if I'm selling I will only use DHL. If you don't receive the coin and if gets list I will refund you coin@coin. I have green trust for a reason.

Bummer, I've shipped to the UK several times via USPS first class and priority... never once opted for registered international. I recall one occasion where a parcel was flagged for a customs inspection and held for about a week (disagreement in declared value), but did make it to the final destination.

For future reference, if you buy postage online it DOES include domestic tracking and final destination delivery confirmation for both first class and priority. Applies to all EU nations and many others. Looks like this (SFRB Priority Intl):

Code:

June 28, 2016 , 12:30 pm Delivered UNITED KINGDOM
June 27, 2016 , 7:16 am Processed Through Facility UNITED KINGDOM
June 25, 2016 , 11:00 am Departed London, UNITED KINGDOM
June 24, 2016 , 5:00 pm Departed San Francisco, UNITED STATES
June 24, 2016 , 1:10 pm Arrived San Francisco, UNITED STATES
June 23, 2016 , 2:13 pm Processed Through Facility ISC SAN FRANCISCO (USPS)
June 23, 2016 , 7:55 am Arrived at USPS Facility SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94128
June 23, 2016 , 7:55 am Arrived at Facility ISC SAN FRANCISCO (USPS)
June 20, 2016 , 4:26 pm Departed USPS Facility SEATTLE, WA 98168

Hope this works out for both parties. Undecided

Unfortunate. I've had something similar happen before when a coin from the U.S. was stuck in UK customs. Strangely I found contacting Parcelforce/R.M. on Twitter is actually the best way to get more 'human' feedback as to what was going on.

Good luck

Still waiting for delivery, unfortunately the tracking number provided (Shipped on June 29) is showing the below so I have no clue where the coin is.

However apparently astrocity1981 (very responsive to queries) has been to the post office a couple of times and the last he heard (July 8th) the coin was on a plane to the UK.
So seems like the post office can track it but not the tracking number provided.

I trusted the OP so I didn't use escrow I wonder if the coin doesn't materialize will I get a refund for it?
Shipping was 0.04 (on June 29th) so I assumed it would be USPS priority but looks like it was first class instead.

Originally I was told it would take 6 to 10 working days for the delivery, it's been 12 working days now.
I had many things bought from here and shipped to the UK via USPS and none of them had delays and the tracking always worked.
This seems iffy or maybe I'm just unlucky but considering the OP had an issue with another 25 BTC coin which went missing it sounds weird there is an issue with my delivery also.

Ah well please advise.

Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?

Hmm... I've shipped many things to the UK from the US, and typically the tracking number will show all of the stops the item has made inside of the US, but it will stop updating when it leaves the US unless you buy the most expensive shipping options. When you put in the tracking number, it should return info about it bouncing around US postal service stops until it says something like "Departed *insert some city's post office with an international airport*" and then the date.

That said, best of luck to you.

Im not a fool and its quite clear its not the same coin, strikingly obvious to the naked eye. I asked you why you would sell one after just buying one.

If I want to buy something sometimes I want to know why it is being sold, it is quite common amongst buyers. An accusation will come straight up from me mate and if you can read the above there is not one there.

The one I had sent you went MIA and then you had bought another one a week later.

Why are you selling it now?
