Tracking USPS shipments in India

Tracking USPS shipments sent to India is a hell of a task that needs a lot of patience. We have a user reporting that his USPS priority international parcel is still not received by him after 2 weeks from shipping date. If you look at the post, you will notice that the parcel was shipped from USA to India with 2 days of USPS receiving the information and then the shipping product itself. So clearly there is nothing much wrong with the service of USPS. It is only when the product reaches India, the delay starts, first due to a (really long) customs check and then due to our ‘efficient’ Postal service.

Shipments sent to an Address in India using USPS will be delivered to the local address using the Indian Postal service (India Post).

How to Track USPS shipped items in India?

There are two main services that can be tracked in India, Express mail and Priority mail (International) parcels. If the item is sent using Express mail service of USPS, and once it reaches India, it can be tracked using the EMS speed post service of India Post. Visit this page and (be sure to select ‘EMS articles booked abroad to be delivered in India’ radio button) enter your USPS tracking number.

If the item is sent through priority mail service and once it reaches India, it can be tracked using the IPS Web tracking. Just visit this page and enter your USPS tracking number.

By using any of these tracking methods, in addition to the information that you can find by tracking the shipment using the USPS track and confirm service, you will also see where the item currently is in India, like Delhi Foreign Post Office, Mumbai Foreign post Office etc. If needed, you also call the respective post offices to get a clear idea on where your item is and how long it may take to receive it.

    • It is soft cleared by customs in Delhi and has been sent to Ahmedabad. Depending on the item it might be required to go through additional customs clearance in Ahmedabad too.

  2. Dear sai,

    I have apple tv sent by my sister by usps tracking no CW82***90US and its tracking status 23rd april shows retained by customs in india for unspecified reason. I live in bhatinda punjab.The cost of apple tv in US is 96 dollar whereas its not yet launched in india but indian apple website shows 8295 rupees. It was sent on 6 th april with insurance. Now you are the only person I could find out to help me in this sai. God bless you buddy. Guide me.

    • I have edited the tracking number but the one you gave didn’t work, either on USPS or India Post. So where did you track it?
      Did you try calling any customs numbers? If not, you should call Delhi customs (011) 25654160.

  3. I stay in Gujarat. I had ordered a battery for my Bike from ebay.com
    Details of the shipment made by ebay.com are as follows:
    Package LN400****99US
    Date package was shipped from our warehouse: 01/29/2013
    Date package was dispatched out of the US: 01/31/2013

    Battery has yet not been delivered to me. I am following up with the seller and ebay.com, but they are telling that my shipment is suck in Indian Customs and they are helpless.

    Kindly suggest me how can I get my Battery, to whom and where should I contact in Customs? Do i have to contact custom people in Bombay or in Gujarat?

    • These packages starting with L are not traceable. Its been 3 months now, even its difficult for customs to scan for it now. You should definitely call Mumbai customs.

  4. My husband sold an iphone to someone in Bijapur, Karnataka, India, and sent it more than 3 weeks ago. He send it via U.S. priority mail international. Tracking no. LK039***5US. The buyer claims he did not receive it, but another person on the internet had the same problem with the buyer. How can we prove receipt? I tried the link to UPS Web Tracking and to EMS speed post service, but neither recognized the tracking no.

    • USPS shipments whose tracking numbers start with ‘L’ cannot be tracked in India, unfortunately. He may have received it, or he may have not, but there is no proof that you can show at the moment.
      If he really didn’t receive it, then its there with the customs who should know about the item now that it has been retained for nearly 20 days.

      • I was wrong – we have a customs number that begins with L, not a tracking number. We know that someone is using the phone in India, but we need to prove that the buyer has it, rather than someone else who might have stolen it in the mail. Is there a way to contact the customs office in Bijapur to receive confirmation of its delivery and customs charge payments.

        • I do not see how anyone can steal a shipment. I am not sure but I would think it’s the intended recipient himself in this case.
          Bijapur is just a small town in northern part of Karnataka, so its customs should be handled by either Mumbai or Bangalore customs (you can find phone numbers of these easily by Googling).
          If I may ask, how are you sure that someone’s using the phone here? Any installed software tells you so? (If you do not want to discuss things here, use the contact link above to send me a mail).

          • Apple can see in their system that the phone has been registered to an Indian network. We agree it is unlikely it was stolen. But eBay requires proof of delivery to the buyer. Without it, eBay accepts the buyer’s word for it that he did not receive the package and has taken the purchase money back from my husband.

            • Hmm, I don’t see a way you can resolve this. May be ask Apple for details? Which network/number/geo location? Most likely they won’t tell anything more for privacy reasons but you can try telling the same to eBay, so they can ask Apple for more details.
              Clearly its not your fault, and if the buyer is honest in saying he didn’t receive it, it’s not his fault too. Its useless talking to India Post here, they don’t have an idea what they are doing. You should perhaps ask USPS to trace the shipment.

  5. I have ordered item from Amazon same is despatched through USPS. Now after personal gone to Mumbai Post they are saying material is misplaced. Can you please guide what to do. As item value is 30K.

    • You should contact Amazon itself. It will be their responsibility to deliver your product. Just check their Help centre for refunds or explain the situation to their customer care. Normally, Amazon will will react to your complaint only after the estimated delivery period has gone by. For normal international products, it will be something like 21 days (?). So you may have to wait for that period to end, if it had not already.

  6. I have ordered for cufflings on 11th March 2013, they were sent for courier on 12th March 2013 from ebay and it is going to be sent by USPS. I still have not received them. When i track my order it says:

    Processed at USPS Origin Sort Facility
    2013-03-13, 14:55:00, JAMAICA, NY 11430
    AND
    Acceptance
    2013-03-12, 14:42:00, SCHENECTADY, NY 12309

    • Is it cufflinks? It is with Mumbai customs and I think you should start calling them for something to happen.

      • Yes, they are Armani cufflings. How can I contact Mumbai customs?

        • Here is the link. Call the respective number or email, whichever is applicable to you (as per parcel tracking code).

          • I have received this email from paypal:
            Dear Aditi Bhatia,

            [email edited]

            Does it mean my parcel is not dispatched yet?

            • That is just a standard automated email from Paypal. What I don’t understand is what that email has got to do with your USPS Parcel?
              If you paid for your item using paypal and you got the order confirmation, your payment has been successful. The USPS status also confirms that.

              That email is for business and professionals in India who receive funds from their clients through paypal. If you just used paypal to pay for this one parcel, you really don’t have to take it seriously.

              • Ok thank you. I have emailed the customs. Waiting for their reply.

                • I received an email from the customs saying:
                  Madam,
                  Such type of packets cannot be tracked; hence present status or location is unknown. Only when they are detained by customs for production of document or for examination, their status becomes known. Kindly wait for the delivery. It takes some time for such parcels to reach their destination or you may contact the Postal Authorities on telephone number 022-22611791 or email Id mumbaiforeignpost at gmail.com
                  I have email the above mentioned address too.

                  • Yeah certain parcels, such as those with tracking numbers starting with ‘L’ cannot be tracked.
                    There’s nothing much you can do now but wait.

  7. Hi,

    I bought 2 sets of watches from usa and they have despatched the same through USPS on 25.03.2013 and when i track my package in USPS portal, it showing the following message “March 26, 2013 10:21:00 LOS ANGELES, CA 90009 PROCESSED THROUGH USPS SORT FACILITY”
    what does it mean, i need to give this item as gift, will i get this item on or before 03.04.2013 or not? Please let me know the status of my package.

    • The status is what you see. I cannot tell you any more details regarding status.
      What that status means that your parcel has left USA for India. It doesn’t tell you if it has reached India, but it could well have.
      Its been just 3 days. If you go through all comments on this page, you’d know that it takes a LOT of time for people to receive their items. I highly doubt you will get your watches before 3 April.

  8. Dear Sai:

    I have ordered a gift from US via USPS. As per the instructions given above i tried to tracked the shipment. I get following message. Could you please help me in this.

    “3/21/2013 11:08:00 AM INDIA DELHI FOREIGN POST OFFICE Send item to customs (Inb) ”

    Regards
    Tushar Bhave.

    • Hello,
      It means your parcel has been sent to customs for checking and valuation. Just wait for this week to end and if you see no change in status you might want to call the customs in delhi (just Google for ‘Delhi customs contact’) to know about your parcel.

  9. Hi..everyone.
    I have a doubt. Anyone who know the answer to my query can surely reply and help me clear my doubts. I will give one cookie to him or her.. Just kidding. Anyways guys i am waiting for a gift to be delivered from new york. I am in mumbai. It has not reached yet. its been 7 days.. Considering all the above comments , i am not even thinking of tracking it again till the next 7 days, thanks to the postal services.. What my real concern is, if someone sends some items to me worth $90 to $100, will I be asked to pay a custom or import duty on the products even though if it is marked as gifts and the value of the content is also declared. Will I have to pay for it? After all its just some gifts. Is gifts exempted from import duty. Any answers will be appreciated. Thanks in advance..Raphy

    • Gifts under Rs.5000 (just the product value; without shipping charges) are completely exempt from customs duty. So I guess you are on the borderline. $90 should be fine, but $100 will attract some duty.

      • Hi Sai. Thanks for the reply, lets see. I hope i will not be charged. But in case they want to charge. How do they calculate the import duty? Suppose Its like 5600 something. So will they charge like 30% or 20% on the remaining 600 or then will fall under a complete different bracket and will they charge on entire amount? Thanks in advance.

        • I’m really not sure about this. I think it will be on the whole amount. I don’t know what the gift is but if its something electronics, it will be charged at 7.5%. See customs import rate for all importable items.

          • Thanks Sai. Hmm, lets see. I hope i don’t have to pay a huge amount then there is no use of asking my cousin to send gifts from u.s :) Also its gonna be a shoe and few shirts and chocolates lets see. I don’t know when it will reach or will it reach to me or not. Its a big suspense. But will inform you. Thanks again Sai. bye.

  10. Dear Sirs,
    Transaction Date: 06/11/2012
    Merchant Name: Cell2Get.com
    Transaction Amount: 9057.54
    I ordered a goods (Mobile Phone) from Cell2Get.com and the same were expected to be delivered by date 20/11/2012, but I never received the same & asked for my refund, merchant is delaying the process of refund. below is the correspondence with the merchant for my refund.
    USPS Tracking No. LJ68***64US
    Please tell me what i have to do.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Swaminathan.

    • I’m sorry to say that this item cannot be tracked in India. It’s been so many months, the site must have some sort of refund policy?

  11. Hello!!
    usps – priority int. mail.

    This was to be sent from New York to BANGALORE.
    last update on USPS and IPS website says “PROCESSED THROUGH SORT FACILITY, ISC, NY” dated 27th feb 2013.
    Its been 5 days since then. NO FURTHER UPDATE.

    Its a couple of pairs of spectacles for my father. Cost around 200 USD.

    Please suggest what should I do…

    Thank you so much.

    • I think you should wait a little more. 5 days is too short for any parcels to arrive to India, that too if its USPS. If “Processed through….” is the last update, it generally means its with the customs in India.

      • Thank you so much for the prompt reply
        Gives me some hope of receiving it
        I’ve read so much about parcels getting stuck in customs for ages…
        Thank you again
        I’ll keep checking and keep you updated.

        • Dear sir,
          My parcel was shipped from delhi for Bangalore on 05/03..
          until today I HAVEN’T received it here. I have been calling up the bangalore post, but they say they cant do anything till they receive it.

          My friend got his parcel form kolkata to bangalore in 2 days…

          Please suggest what can be done to figure out where is the parcel and get it.

          Thanks.

          • Give or take 1-2 days, don’t worry you’ll get it.

            • SIR YOU ARE SPOT ON!!!
              here is the latest…

              BANGALORE SUB FGN POST
              Record item customs information (Inb)
              “”"”" Retention reason : Other “”"”"”"”

              WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? its a pair of sunglasses. About 200 dollars.

              Thanks in advance!

              • And what should i do in this matter?

                When i called the post office yesterday, the lady over there was pretty rude and said when it comes, we will send it!!
                Now I’m scared to call her!!

                • Haha, don’t be scared. Call her, and again, its their duty to inform you about your parcel. She may not be the only person who takes calls, anyway.
                  That status means that your item has arrived at Bangalore Sub Foreign Post Office and is held by the customs there. If that Post office is near to where you stay, you may even go there personally and make an enquiry.

  12. Hi thank you for the post, I have a parcel coming in from US it has automobile spare parts. I have been tracking it and today this message showed up in the ips website.

    2/23/2013 1:30:00 PM INDIA DELHI FOREIGN POST OFFICE Record item customs information (Inb)
    Retention reason : Other

    any idea what’s going on here?
    Thanks!

  13. Some one can help me out its being long time my parcel from the usps was send on 9th of jan 2013 but still i have not received at Ahmedabad, India.
    When i ask my friend to check with the store of usps for the updation she says that the parcel might be held up in the India customs so is there any way i can check up my parcel?
    Please reply soon if anybody have the answer..

    • As your friend said, it is surely with customs. Unfortunately, once it enters customs, there’s no way to track the parcel. And I’m not even sure under which jurisdiction Ahmedabad falls, Mumbai or Delhi customs.
      If you have time, just go through other comments, you might get an idea what to do.

  14. Hi i have a same problem with USPS tracking LJ698******US
    I bought an item from from a 3rd party via amazon worth 90$
    It was shipped from miami on 10th of jan 13,
    Till now i don’t have any update of it,
    I have tried to contact, mumbai foreign post office, they are not lifting the call.
    Amazon says wait till 1st feb, 3rd party say you will get it soon, i am not able to track it in either of india post, or ips. My friends got their items shipped via usps in one, two weeks.
    It has been three weeks and till now no info about location of my item.
    Please help me with it.

    • Just go through the below comment thread between Aashish and Me. That’s all I can tell you in this case.
      There are different categories of shipping, so its not necessary for everyone to receive their shipments at the same time. As Amazon said, better wait till 1 February.

      • What do u expect in next two days, the problem is that from jan 10th to 29 jan no update is there.
        even if i will wait for two days on feb 1st they will say wait for some more days or its covered under a to z guarantee, one of my friend bought cell phone and he got in two weeks,another guy bought hard drive and he got in 10 days, my problem is for last twenty days before it was departured, from US and still its not in india atleast.
        Status should show some thing like in mumbai india or some thing like that.
        I don’t have any clue where or when it will come to me.

        • Rafeeq, if this was something in our hands, we could do something. All we can do now is wait. I know its hard to wait, but there’s almost nothing that we can do now. As Asheesh said in another comment, items starting with ‘L’ are normal parcels which are NOT traceable on IPS Web tracking.
          This is not any solution to your problem but I don’t understand why anyone would buy cell phones and hard drives from america which are available here too..

          • No yaar sai
            They bought it using site cramster
            They work in cramster and for payment they get amazon gift cards, that’s why they bought it from there.

      • Return item from customs (Inb). What it means? Its how on ips web tracking?

        • It means your item has cleared customs and is returned to the postal service for delivery.

          • Sai,
            I didn’t get the item by now and its feb 19th
            I emailed in customs, they said your mail is forwarded to postal appraising section.
            PAS and mumbai foreign post office says LJ means some letter mode and such packages are not track-able
            lot of time has passed.
            So what I’m i supposed to do now?

            • I already said that ‘L’ things are not traceable. And I also said everything I know about customs. Any thing more is beyond my knowledge. I’m sorry.

            • My parcel is shipped from US on 9th Jan by USPS and still didn’t received is someone can help how to contact customs in India because when my friend ask the USPS people they said it might be in customs.
              Please help me how to contact customs for the parcel.

  15. I ordered some items from amazon.com worth $40 to be shipped in Delhi. Seller shipped it through USPS. I tracked this item on usps website and the last update there is “January 6, 2013 05:40:00 AM Jamaica NY US Departure Scan”. I am not able to track it further. I tried the links given by you but both links are not showing any information regarding my package.
    What can I do now?

    • If it is shipped by Amazon, you should contact their customer support. Amazon handles everything, including customs in India, since it collects probable customs fee (if there is any) before hand. If you didn’t receive the shipment within the promised delivery date, you should contact Amazon.

      • Thanks Sai for replying…
        Yes, the product has been purchased from amazon.com but it is not shipped by amazon itself. It has been shipped by some another seller so I can not ask for support from amazon regarding this.
        Can you provide me any contact information in delhi (customs or indian post) from where I can get information about my shipment.. or is there any other website where I can track this information?
        Thanks again..

        Aashish Vishvas

        • Oh I see.
          I’m not aware of any other way to track your item. But this comment from a fellow user might be of help to you.

          • Thanks Sai,
            the link in the above post helped me. I called at one of the given number and got to know that my tracking id which is “LJ9488*****US” is an ordinary letter type for which tracking record is not maintained. The person said that your tracking ID starts with letter “L” which indicates that it is an ordinary parcel and you have to contact at your local postal office to know about it. My bad luck.. :(

            • Ohh, that’s sad. I didn’t know about this ‘L’ thing. Thanks for coming back and letting me know about it. I can now tell others who are in similar situation.

              • My order was shipped on 3rd Jan from USA through USPS. Today is 6 Feb and still neither it is delivered nor I have any information about it.

                Today I reported this problem on amazon’s website under their a to z Guarantee Claim. Let’s see what happens…

                • Omg, you’re still waiting for your shipment. Good job by reporting the problem, that’s the only thing you could do now.

                  • Got my parcel today (8 Feb 2013). Delivered by local post office at my home. Postman collected custom duty from me (almost 35% of total cost) and gave the parcel.

                    Thank God …
                    now I’ll never use USPS for foreign shipments..

                    Thanks Sai for all your support :)

                    • Finally, haha. Glad you got everything sorted out.
                      Yeah, never USPS again. UPS, FedEX or DHL is the way to go. If you order something insist the shipper to ship via any of these private services.
                      And thank you for giving me some knowledge from your experience.

  16. I have ordered an Ipod from ebay US. It has been shipped via USPS and reached mumbai via delhi. Last status is
    Send item to customs (Inb)
    I tried calling customs they asked me to mail them the tracking number. What should I do after this?

    • Mail them the tracking number, hehe.
      Even if you don’t do anything, the ipod will be sent to your local post office after clearing Mumbai customs. And if there is any customs fee, you will have to pay it to your local PO and collect your item.

  17. Hello Sai,

    I have shipped a return item to Delhi on 10 Dec thru USPS Priority International. The USPS tracking says “Processed through USPS Sort Facility” from NY
    When I track it thru IPS Web Tracking it says “No information, please check your item identifier”.
    Can you help me to track this item.

    • I cannot help you track this item but I can tell you that it is in India and with Delhi Customs right now. May be somebody in Delhi should contact the customs department to get hold of the situation.

  18. Hi,
    Can you please help me out. I ordered a guitar from TX, USA to WB, India through USPS Express. The seller sent it out on December 26, 2012 and I think it left the US on December 27 because USPS hasn’t tracked it since and I know USPS only tracks an item till it’s within the national boundaries. I checked the India Post website to try and track my item but they still don’t have any new details. The info only shows what it was booked on Dec 26 from USA. No Delivered at or on info.
    Thanks.

    • Okay it might have reached India, but 1 week is too early for USPS shipments. You’ll mostly have to wait another week. Nothing might happen in this week but you’ll atleast be sure that it has reached India. You’ll have to show proof of purchase (to ascertain the value), pay applicable customs import fee and take your guitar.

  19. Hello,
    I am trying to find my package from USPS and Its says that the Package is in Delhi Custom Clearance, and Just so you know, the Item value is more than Rs 10,000.

    Is there any way that I can contact them? what are my next time to get that item moving to my Local area (which is Hyderabad). ? Or Should I have to go Delhi to pick it up?
    Advice or suggestions are welcome.

    • If your place is Hyderabad then I’m mostly sure your package will be forwarded to Mumbai customs (Hyderabad falls under Mumbai customs region). Please check other comments just below this where I gave contact info of Mumbai Postal Appraisal Section which clears imports and proceed accordingly.

      • Hello,
        Thanks. I got an update on my laptops on IPS Web Tracking. But I have a question
        When I was going through the shipping info, there was an info which dint make any sense to me “Retention reason : Hight-value goods – Official Customs declaration required”
        Please explain? And what I have to do?
        Thanks

        • High value goods mean those that are over INR 10000. These require customs declaration by the seller (or shipper). If not available, customs will ask the addressee (via a notice sent by post) to show them a receipt of purchase showing the actual value of the item.
          A piece of advice (in case you import something in future), better use private shippers like DHL and not a Government service like USPS.

          • Hello,
            So should I have to go to the Customs in Mumbai to show him the proof?
            Or does it comes to my Local Post Office.?

            • Look, it is the duty of customs to actually inform you that your item has been held for some reason. But our customs don’t do it (most of the times). So if they don’t hear from you for some period, they will value your laptop as it is priced in India. Then they will forward it to your local post office where you’ll HAVE TO pay the customs duty and take your item.
              Yes I know its confusing but our customs is definitely not the best in the world so we have to deal with it as it is.

  20. I sent my laptop from Baton rouge, USA using USPS Priority mail service and I used the Flat rate courier.Its tracking number is [checked].
    I couriered it on 18 december,2012 but it hasn’t reached at its destination (chandigarh) till today 31 december. Can anyone please tell me its status. I have checked the USPS track & confirm and IPS also.They say the same thing :the item was processed on 24 december at ISC Miami and is currently in transit to its destination.It should not have taken so much time.can anyone help me in finding its status in india.

    • It has mostly reached India and is with Delhi customs. Most things will be sorted out by itself, but if you are in a hurry may be you should ask someone from Chandigarh to contact Delhi customs to clear out things.

  21. Hi.
    I have bought an item on Ebay.com, value being 230USD. The USPS tracking no is [checked].The USPS site says its in transit since 21/12/12. Even the IPS webtracking /India post link, mentioned on the forum, says the same.
    How can I check where my parcel is stuck (delivery address is for Mumbai) Or any contact nos I can have so I’ll call and check myself.
    Thanks.

    • Its left USA and is stuck with Mumbai customs. Any import worth more than Rs.10000 will under go a special scrutiny and mostly requires the addressee (that is you) to submit proof of value of purchase to ascertain the actual value.

      • Thanks for your reply. Could you please direct me with my next course of action. Whom should I visit (in mumbai) or could you provide contact nos/website where I may be provided info for the same. So far I have tried looking for nos on websites but am getting nothing except more nos.

        Thanks in advance.

  22. Hello Madhu,
    I recently sent (4th Dec 2012) a parcel to India through USPS priority mail (checked). Using USPS tracking facility I found out that this package cleared customs in India Delhi on 15th of Dec but I couldn’t track it on the Indian Postal Service website. Can you please give me any ideas about whom should I contact in this regard?
    Thanks.

    • Hello,
      I could track it on India Post (IPS Web Tracking) but it says the same thing as in USPS tracking. But, the tracking says it is currently with the customs department and has not cleared it yet.
      If it is a high value shipment (greater than Rs.10000 in value), the customs will require a proof of value of item from the addressee. The person to whom you addressed the parcel will receive an intimation to submit the proof. Sometimes there will be delay in receiving this letter so it could be useful if you can directly get in touch with the Delhi customs department.

  23. I have not received the parcel yet booked from usa on 6th December docket no [checked] kindly let me know when will I receive the parcel.

    • Your item is with the customs in India. You should better get in touch with the concerned customs office for quick processing.

      • I had been to custom post office at Ballard Pierre as you asked me to find it out with them and they said its the LN-US booked article which is regular post parcel which does not have any tracking in India and they also said they are unable to trace it, so Now kindly let me know what is to be done thanks.

        • Ohh, that’s bad. And now I’m not sure if you can do anything but wait. The onus is on the postal department to deliver your parcel.

  24. Wonder if anyone ever received their parcels. If no, where do all these parcels go?
    I too am waiting for a USPS express shipment do I just give up hope of receiving it?

    • I received mine. Thousands of parcels are delivered every day, only those who didn’t receive theirs as expected turn up on the Internet. Mistakes do happen and if you didn’t receive your parcel in time as expected, you must call the concerned customs office. If, say you didn’t call them and you also didn’t receive it after few months, it goes to the store room of customs, where they will be auctioned off (only non-personal things)..

  35. I have the same issue I don’t know if this is a dead thread by now but I’m trying to get any information on a Priority mail parcel I sent on May 1 to Pune India. Does anyone have any information on Pune postal system? Where it would go to? How to track it. I checked IPS and it says its not available yet. Mine are sponsor documents as well and I can’t just do them all over again! LC60 0575 655U S is my parcel number.

    So stressed this is awful I guess it was worth the stupid 50$ to do express mail. USPS is ridiculous.

    • No information on IPS yet, as you said. I checked USPS tracking and its last update was “Processed through USPS sort facility” in LA, CA. So I’m not sure if it reached India at all. The USPS tracking would normally stop at ‘Sent to delivery country’ or something like that.
      So did you first confirm with USPS that this item was shipped to India?

      PS. Even better and cheaper (I think) than 50$ for express mail would be to use DHL or similar International private couriers.
