Hello 'ehstar',
Much depends on whether or not the tracking number is genuine or a fake one (postal
receipt number), meaning the service used, - and where it comes from.
Those cheap 'proof of postage' numbers mean the item has been sent and is on its way
but it will not be tracked to your door. It will take longer to arrive than the more expensive
services as well.
If you made the dreadful mistake of buying from a GSP seller, your item will dilly-dally to
Kentucky, hang out there for a while, then finally take a long, winding, circuitous route
through the post and after an eternity of travel, will eventually arrive at your house.
If you have an item with a real tracking number, where ever it is before hand it will show up
at Canada Post once it gets through Customs and is scanned. You will then be able to
monitor its progress here:
