What I meant was that it has a tracking number automatically. I know there is a similar uk option that tracks only till it leaves the UK but you have to ask for it so post offices usually tell you it is cheaper but not as reliable. I think because the number is automatically there in the US shipping there is an expectation that it will be tracked all the way but actually it probably isn't meant to be tracked out of the US. What happens when it arrives in the UK is that it is given a new UK tracking number and it is hit or miss whether that shows on the US tracking. I imagine that is the cause of the problem. It isn't the fault of the destination countries. It is just how the system works. I think if you want an item tracked you have to be willing to pay for it.
