Who handles parcel service for USPS in Germany?
Hello, the following problem case: a package was sent from Chicago via USPS to D, including a tracking number.
According to the tracking number, it should have arrived. But it hasn't. My questions: Who handles delivery for the USPS in Germany? It must be DHL?
And where can I find out where the package ended up? It can't really be at the delivery location, the DHL branch, because then the recipient should have been notified by the delivery person.
By the way, here is the tracking number:
CH170517390US
Thank you for all the tips.

DHL takes over. Now in Germany it is probably in customs when it has been made, it will be transported to you or you will be informed.
USPS likes to be a little slow. It can be that tracking stops or stops for as long as, for example, the transport via the pond and the process of customs unwinding takes. If they didn’t manage to print your e-mail address to the label, it can be that the customs contacted you by mail, I already had. Only after that, it continued with the tracking under new DHL tracking number.
Wouldn’t that be UPS?
No, it’s stupid. I found it at the tracking. It was allegedly sent back.
Hello, that’s interesting. I can’t understand this myself – shouldn’t the package have got a new tracking number at DHL?
Despite similar letters, USPS (United States Postal Service) and UPS (United Parcel Service) have nothing to do with each other. The former are state (Quasi their federal post), the latter are privately economic.
Yes, I noticed once the trackers worked at dhl. with detailed information, at 2.. Trying is there, was sent back.
