Dear All,

I have used USPS since Oct 2011 and till now 2 items never reached me. Through my investigation I found this out whenever you use USPS Priority Mail International, there would be a tracking number but this tracking number will not be recorded once it reaches Post Malaysia. Why ? according to the Post Malaysia officer which I spoke to, said that this is a normal parcel post and they would not record it. Unless it is a registered parcel post. To me, THIS SUCKS man. In this present times everything has has been made easy with online tracking facility and here Post Malaysia doesn't follow the system. In the US the USPS has done their part with tracking numbers.

In the earlier post I read here someone ask why there are 2 foreign customs check point in US itself well, I can answer to this.

Twice into foreign customs; I'm wondering why

No, its not 2 foreign customs. If you read the dates carefully, the sender send in on 31 Mar and accepted in Blue Bell, PA. On the same day it was sorted out and it was dispatch to their USPS International Dispatch hub in nearest center and this is probably in ISC Chicago Il (USPS) and from there is leaves the US.
This quite normal in the US b'cos US is so big.

Anyway, come back to my case. I have given up my lost item ( 2 lenses).

In the 90's I use to buy stuffs from the US and some items never reach me and when some of the parcel did reached me I discovered that things were missing inside, items were gone. When I reported to Post Malaysia HQ (Daya Bumi), they actually have an Investigation Dept. set up for this purpose - Lost items, lost mails, lost parcels. Where did you think all these missing parcels went. There are thieves within out there. The amount of things go missing is alarming, what you read here is only a handful. There parcels and mails go missing almost everyday. Hey, how can parcel go missing when there is an address on it even if the tracking number is not recorded you still have the address to deliver to. But when the theives know it is not recorded they take advantage to steal the parcel. In a month if there are 10 parcels undelivered it should be still there right but its never delivered so where it went. Think hard bro. Things can't go missing like that.

When a parcel arrives in Malaysia, 2 parties are responsible, they are the Customs Dept. and Post Malaysia. So my dear friends here if you can track down and recover your parcel, please tell us how to do it.

Because we can't prove anything here.

I am not saying that every parcel will go missing, its just a small percentage go missing. Thousands and thousands of mails and parcels flow into the country everyday. A small percentage of parcel go missing is bad enough cos these are things that belongs to people and if your parcel is in this small percentage then you are unlucky my friend.
