This way, at least you can check whether the item has been posted, left country of origin, in transit, arrived at country of destination, cleared customs etc. Don't be surprised if 'transparency' of the tracking becomes an 'issue' when using a service with 'Track & Trace'.

Suggesting leaving unfavourable feedback is quite unfair .. if the postal service of Peru is slow, that has nothing to do with the seller ! 'Economy' post normally means surface ie by ship ... that works by filling shipping containers with post from Peru to the country of destination. The container only leaves when full and that can be an awful long time if you are waiting for items from Peru to Australia to accumulate ! Even the UK with its more effective postal service will take 10 - 12 weeks economy to Australia . However surface mail is usually around half the price of normal airmail.
