About this program
Selling internationally means dealing with carriers your buyers have never heard of, delays that look alarming but are normal, and dispute windows that vary by platform and country.
Tracking across borders is genuinely complicated
A parcel leaving Canada might move through canada post tracking, then hand off to usps tracking or another local carrier on arrival. Buyers see a usps tracking number and assume it covers the full journey. It often does not.
This course documents how handoffs work between canada post office tracking and us mail tracking systems, and how to explain gaps in tracking data to buyers without losing their confidence.
Regional carrier differences
Royal mail tracking covers UK deliveries, but evri tracking handles a significant share of UK parcels too. dhl tracking is common across Europe and Asia. Knowing which portal to check - and what a normal delay looks like for each - prevents unnecessary refunds.
The course includes a reference section comparing update frequency and typical transit times for fedex tracking, ups tracking, united parcel service tracking, and federal express tracking on international routes.
Dispute procedures by platform
Amazon, Etsy, and eBay each have different evidence requirements for international disputes. Using track and trace usps data correctly, or pulling a postal service tracking report, can be the difference between winning and losing a case.
There is also a section on what to do when a carrier provides no useful data - how to document the situation and communicate with the buyer while a trace is open.
