Parcel tracing info has gone "black"

[CamS19]

I can't figure out if the art I sen to the beijing studio is still in shipment, or is lost in transit altogether. Artists wishing to send your work to be mounted through Oriental Outpost: BE WARNED. If you are using USPS, ship it as "PRIORITY" AND INSURE IT; it will most likely be delayed or "lost".

Yes, this was a weird case that left me feeling terrible about USPS losing the package.

I don't trust regular air mail (now called "First Class International" by USPS) from the USA to China. It's not-very-traceable. Priority and/or Express Mail (EMS) are the way to go.
