Since I just spoke about this on our Ravelry
HSKS group, I figured it should be here as well.
For packages being mailed from the United States-- weather leaving the country or staying within the U.S., you can track them easily via the USPS Track and Confirm web page.

For a package with a destination within the U.S.
- You will pay $0.65 for this service and will be given a 20 digit Delivery Confirmation Number like this: 0307 0080 0505 2123 4853
- Example of the form you will fill out. You will be given the detachable receipt on the left side of the form when dropping off your package.
- This number is also printed on the receipt given to you if you lose the receipt they give you.
For a package with a destination outside the U.S.- You will fill out a Customs Declaration Form
- example one is for smaller items like an envelope bubble mailer. A detachable receipt is given when you drop off the package.
- example two is for larger items like a box - You will receive a copy of the entire form with this type of Customs form.
- The number on both of these forms starts with two letters, then eight numbers, then ends with US, i.e. CP18439578US
- This number is also printed on the receipt given to you if you lose your copy of the form.
Please leave any questions or comments and I will get back to you ASAP.
Happy Shipping!!
