USA, Canada / I sent a package from Wisconsin, US, to Warsaw. 3 weeks and still not delivered? [14]

Hi everyone, im brand new to this forum.

I've met a girl from Warsaw and we sent each other something nice. She sent her package (from Warsaw) and it came very promptly in 5 days. (i live in Wisconsin). However i send mine on January 3rd, it has yet to arrive. It was in a USPS flat rate priority envelope if that makes any difference. i double checked the address with the one i put on the customs form everything was printed ok. so does anyone have any ideas? i know the Polish postal system isn't the best but 3 weeks?! Thanks for any help.

I didn't include a tracking number, i didn't know you could get that on international packages. I am for sure doing it in the future.

I've looked at UPS, FedEx and DHL, they are all about 3 or 4 times the price of USPS! but i mean if they get there.

So there is pretty much no hope? the package is probably not coming? I've sent normal mail back and forth with her, you know like postcards and letters. Those seem to take forever. Could this be the same? Thanks again.

I hope your right skysoulmate.

Thanks for the bit of info :D very helpful.

i did manger to uncover a little good news (maybe bad i don't know) I looked at the customs form again and i realized that the number at the top is a tracking number. So i typed it in on the USPS website. and what it said kinda surprised me. Maybe someone can clear it up for me. It said:

Processed through Sort Facility, January 04, 2011, 1:39 pm, CHICAGO, IL 60688
Processed through Sort Facility, January 04, 2011, 2:37 am, OAK CREEK, WI 53154

and then it says on the top "The item is currently in transit to the destination. Information, if available" so maybe there is still hope?

I'm not sure why the tracking wouldn't be updated in 20 days?! anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Thank you for the links Wroclaw Boy. They were really helpful for us.

@convex she is a student at university in Warsaw. She lives in an Apartment paid for by her parents in Warsaw. She's lived there for about 1 year. She was born in Poland and lived there her whole life, same with her parents.

@convex Thank you that makes alot of sense. Her whole family is in Poland plus she has 4 years of school left. I will make sure we include that.

@grubas I am trying to say i've heard bad stories about Poles trying to get into US.. I've even heard horror stories about Poles getting deported after making to the US. I would hate to have this happen to her. Sorry I misspoke i meant to say i am legally a US citizen. As opposed to being an illegal immigrant. And listen you don't have to be a prick about things. It was a mistake everyone makes them.
