e-DELCON to countries other than Canada?

[NikoTech]

Just wondering: how is the new USPS e-DELCON for First Class International working out for you guys?

Apparently it's a bit of hit-or-miss, with certain countries (Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain) showing delivery confirmation, while others (namely Australia) aren't.

I have sent a few items First Class International to Canada. I want to say the Delivery Confirmation worked on both of them. I am quite interested to see which countries it ends up working for.

I quit shipping for the most part international because Priority was too expensive and the one that was ok the Flate Rate Envelope didn't have and Tracking/Delivery Confirmation. But if there is an option to send first class international and it shows Delivery I might be tempted to start selling abroad again.

I am still waiting for pre-Christmas 2013 delivery confirmation for no less than EIGHT packages that came via USPS & e-DELCON to Australia.

I avoid them now.

I've used it with good success to Australia. Thanks for the link GB, I've been searching for the list of Countries.

Are you sure you shipped First Class?
Did your tracking number begin with an LZ?

Reason I'm asking is because you're quite possibly the very first person that I've heard of who had been successful with e-DELCON for FCIM to Oz.

Did you have to sign for said packages, GB?
I mean: how else is the delivery confirmation supposed to work?

Am I sure I shipped First Class? You're kidding, right? Yes, the the delivery confirmation begins with a LZ.

They use a barcode scanner, no signature.

Thanks for the update. Might have to begin testing the waters with a few items offering to these countries.

Does anyone know if shipping International with Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelopes, if it now include this Delivery Confirmation service. I know in years past the Flat Rate Envelope was exempt from Delivery Confirmation. If anyone knows I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

@vogeltron

Not that I am aware.

They do a money back guarantee ( haha) for date-certain deliveries to some countries.

We were trying the service to Spain(mainland) from WA state.

We could get a free pick up though ( sometimes)
