Origin post preparing shipment

Post by Vonvonx »

Hiya, looking for advice on a parcel that I’ve posted from UK to the US. I posted it on the 10th of dec and the tracking sayes “ Origin preparing shipment”. It’s said this since the 12th and hasn’t updated, it’s now the 16th. Is this normal or should I be worried? I sent it international tracked & signed for.

I’m just a bit paranoid it’s been lost or something as it was quite a valuable item :(

The tracking number is RN288774119GB.

Any advice or info is muchly appreciated x

During a normal Christmas and now with COVID complicating issues this is pretty normal, and nothing to be concerned about. USPS and Royal Mail both have huge delays because of the amount of stuff being posted, which along with restricted international cargo space and backlogs in customs.

Track17 tracking looks pretty normal as well https://t.17track.net/en#nums=RN288774119GB
