Tracking info help please

Post by RPB »

Hi all. I am tracking an international parcel into USA via Parcelforce Globalexpress service. It was picked up in the UK Friday and is still enroute which kinda isn't 2 days but I'm just gonna guess it means 2 working days maybe? Anyway.......
The tracking info, I am guessing contains country codes yet I cannot find any info on what they mean.
First one says 'tracked in destination country, MEM'. Where is MEM?
Second one says 'Arrived in destination country, AFW'. Where is AFW?
Thanks folks for any help.

There might be delays as a result of Hurricane Irma, if not it's probably stuck in US customs

All Parcelforce delivery times are working days, which means Monday to Friday excluding public holidays. So, barring problems due to bad weather your item would have been guaranteed to arrive on Tuesday 12th.

Thanks for the replies folks, however Parcelforce have done me proud and it was delivered already today! LOL. Happy with that service considering a weekend and the horrendous time people are having around the USA at the moment. :Very Happy
EDIT - In fact, to say it wasn't collected from the UK drop off until 3pm Friday and it has already been delivered in the USA by 3pm today, that is pretty darn impressive.
