Package notification "Dispatched by US carrier" for over a week
This sort of status usually means that the package was handed over to a different courier when it crossed the border. When this happens, Etsy and/or the the first courier doesn't always have the ability to continue updating the tracking. It's possible that the seller has access to the new tracking number though, as a client of global global shipping, so it's worth it to reach out and ask them! More on reddit.com

Package on ‘Departed Asendia Facility’ - ‘Dispatched By US Carrier’ for over 20 days now

I’m so sorry! Asendia is a “partner” that Etsy uses to make shipping internationally less expensive, but they hold packages until they have a reasonable amount to ship to a particular area, and the shipping information often doesn’t update for a very long time.

As a seller, I have had luck looking up the tracking number directly from Asendia rather than through Etsy, and I can sometimes grab the tracking numbers that will work with a country’s postal service that way. Those numbers sometimes have more recent updates than Etsy. It is worth messaging the seller of your necklace to ask for help. Bear in mind there is not much they can do beyond perhaps providing you with a more local tracking number, and the delay was not caused by them so try to be calm. They may also have purchased insurance on the package so they would be able to tell you how long they have to wait to make a claim on that.

For what it’s worth, sellers often don’t realize what a pain using Etsy’s international labels will be, and Etsy has been taking steps to make sellers feel somewhat trapped into using Etsy labels. When you use an Etsy label for international shipping from the US, you are actually sending the package to a domestic Asendia facility (that’s those weird tracking statuses you are seeing), where it will be relabeled to move on to the customer. Asendia sorts those packages by destination, and transports them when it’s most financially effective, then the packages end up going through customs in the appropriate country, and shipped on via the local postal service. It can take quite a while, and get a bit stuck at any point in the process.

Dispatched by US Carrier

I ordered mine on the 19th of March and it shipped on the 30th. The last update was on April 1st although the expected delivery was today. By far the worst shipping I’ve experienced from a company.

Can I pick up a package at a carrier facility?
No. Carrier facilities are not safe for the general public, and so carriers do not allow you to pick up packages at a carrier facility, even if it is very close to you. However, some carriers enable you to “intercept the package” by rerouting it to a retail location or post office for pickup.

r/Etsy on Reddit: Package notification "Dispatched by US carrier" for over a week
October 29, 2022 -

Hi everyone!

I recently bought something on Etsy that has been shipped from the States and to be delivered abroad.

As I checked the status update of my delivery, I noticed that it is still "in transit", more specifically "dispatched by US carrier" and that it's been this way for over a week now (last update made on the 21st of October). I was wondering if someone experienced the same problem (shipping made by Global Postal Shipping) and whether the package will eventually arrive or if I should be worried...

Many thanks in advance for your answers!

Have a nice day :)
