Seller ships (usually via USPS) to GSP plant in Kentucky.
Package clears customs in Kentucky.
Package given new tracking number and shipped to Canada.
Package is transferred to sub-contracted shipper (usually Canada Post).
Did the seller ship to KENTUCKY?
If not, you will be paying import fees twice, since those were paid before the seller was instructed to ship.
You should have been given a GSP tracking number. Check your emails.
This may be helpful if the seller actually did use GSP as promised.
Unison worked this out for buyers who have not yet received their GSP shipment.
TRACKING SYSTEM FOR GSP
I found this thread today while awaiting a shipment. Once I learned that Pitney Bowes was the relevant company, I was able to find my package's tracking info in about 10 seconds.
Step 1: Go to the Pitney Bowes Parcel Tracker page at https://parceltracking.pb.com/app/#/dashboard/
Step 2: Enter your eBay-supplied Global Tracking number (mine began with UPAA...)
Step 3: You will be shown limited tracking info. In my case, only up to the point the package left the USA and entered Canada.
Step 4: Click on the "Track on carrier's website" link at the top right.
Step 5: You will be provided with tracking on the page of the actual shipping company, in my case Canada Post, with a tracking number in THEIR system.
Problem solved! If only eBay would put a link to https://parceltracking.pb.com/app/#/dashboard/ in their shipping emails, this could all be avoided...
