As I noticed, the number of a Custom Form for international package is not a tracking number. The tracking information provided by USPS is wrong. What do you guys find?

International packages have delivery confirmation only on Global Express.
Yes, you are right. Consider the following case:
An international buyer pay via Paypal, I ship via USPS Airmail parcel post with USPS insurance. Later on it turns out that the buyer is a scammer, he files a claim on Paypal. I guess I will lost the money in Paypal. Am I right? Thanks.

Yeah, as far as PayPal is concerned there's no proof that the buyer received the package. And since there really isn't any proof of delivery how do you know the buyer is a scammer?
If the package was insured with the USPS, though, you should be able to get your money back, I'd think.

Hi,
You can use the customs number to track your package. Type it into the USPS.com site and it will tell you whether the package has been delivered. I just tracked one that went Air Parcel post to France this week.

It turns out that it does not always work. Some tracking info from the custom number told me that the package was accepted 2 months in NY before I dropped it off in GA.
friendsforyears, I can't believe it! I didn't believe you at first, then I tried it. It does tell you the delivery country, plus date & time delivered!! I tried it on a package that went to Canada, and a package that went to Netherlands. It worked for both!
Some do work, but some don't. Try this one: CP086569556US. I dropped it off on early Feb 2007, and I am living in Georgia. The tracking information said "Acceptance, November 27, 2006, 5:39 pm, WHEATON, IL 60187". What the hell is that?

Thank you for your information! I thought it was lost and I am going to file a claim.
However, I dropped it off on early Feb 2007 in Georgia. It seems the records before Feb does not belong to my package. They mixed up the information of different package?

BTW, this one should be lost: CP082171769US
The Customs # will sometimes work but it's not a provided service and there's no guarantee there will be any info at all. But it's always worth a try.
Another thing to try is to enter the Customs # into the receiving country's postal website -- that'll sometimes get you some information as well.
