On: YouTube marketing horror story

Here is one example of a case where tracking even to Florida just mysteriously stopped working: https://trackings.post.japanpost.jp/services/srv/search/dire...

"Item out for physical delivery" and then... nothing. Usually it should show "delivered" at the end.

Some countries were unusual such as Bahrain, but then the same thing would sometimes happen even for Canada or Norway.

Reading that sentence again I think that I may have misinterpreted it. Does it mean:

a) During this experiment with youtubers I found that international package tracking often (24% of the time) does not actually work.

b) During my last few years running CandyJapan I found that international package tracking often (24% of the time) does not actually work.

[I interpreted a). Now I think you mean b).]

Sometimes the local postal service tracking will give additional information that the source tracking doesn’t give.

In the case above I would expect they they just didn’t scan it when delivering. We get cases with USPS, usually with appartment buildings that they will leave packages in common spaces and they will be stolen. Although that would usually have a delivery scan.

USPS doesn't tell you much more in this case. It just ends at:

> August 20, 2018, 10:44 pm > Awaiting Delivery Scan > The delivery status of your item has not been updated as of August 20, 2018, 10:44 pm. We apologize that it may arrive later than expected.
