Are any other US Stores having shipping issues to international addresses lately?

We have had 3 lost in the last 60 days. No trace after it reaches country arrival.
All 3, the tracking info stops at that point.

Does not mean not delivered. Just a lack of data input from overseas involved
entities.

My advise: factor DELCON service, assuming you're using USPS for these shipments
https://www.usps.com/international/first-class-package-international-service.htm#e-usps-delcon-intl

Sadly, one of the current realities that have motivated our moving to selling
domestic only. That said, if you're in this game to make a living (unlike
us) try to navigate the international shipping quagmire as best you can in being
as well informed as you can at this point in time. Things are shifting, iow.

Which countries ? As I've had two things go missing from the US last 6 weeks.this
is to Australia and hasn't ever happened to me before.

I'm not sure if they are stuck at the border or actually made it Australia
and got lost here.

Yes, and USPS just shrugs and basically says it sucks to be you. No assistance
with anything, and though they state a service time of like fourteen days to
deliver, International packages cannot be considered lost until 60 days. Pay
more, get less, postal service is slipping fast into the toilet. Oh, DeJoy!
