Hello everybody,

I'm following closely this group for months, but until now I did not have anything to contribute... But as the Solidoodles are shipping out, and I received my tracking number, I thought some of you might also be interested in this info:

Apparently the USPS tracking goes only so far as to track to the destination country postal service, as in my case the swiss post. You can track multiple tracking numbers with this link (comma separated):

https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction.action?tLabels=trackingnumber1,trackingnumber2

(just replace the trackingnumber1 and trackingnumber2). But once the package has arrived, the local postal service might be more informative as to what happens to the package. For packages from USPS to Switzerland the Swiss Post has also a URL which accepts multiple packages (undocumented: comma separated tracking numbers):

https://www.post.ch/EasyTrack/submitParcelData.do?formattedParcelCodes=trackingnumber1,trackingnumber2

Perhaps some of you already have some information on which parcel service does the actual delivery in different destination countries... and feel this might be useful? In my case it wasn't clear that it is the swiss post doing the delivery (and not some other parcel delivery company)...
