Hi,

The first of november 2011 I bought a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 on Cuttleryshoppe. They send the package via USPS.
I received a mail from USPS that send the knife, but it is still in LA sinds the 5th of november.......

Is this normal, and how can I mail USPS?
 
I had/have a similar problem. Someone sent me a knife from the USA to The Netherlands using USPS. They provided tracking information, so I could follow it sort-of.

The knife stayed for approximately three weeks at their international transfer center in NJ. Then it suddenly popped up in Holland, about two weeks ago it was checked in through the customs. And now it has been laying in their Dutch distribution center for two weeks...

Bottom line: don't use USPS when sending something from the USA to Europe. This is litterally snail mail. I've got good experiences with FedEx and even better ones with TNT.
 
If I try the tracking number on the USPS site is says:
