Thank you all for the kind words.  :hatsoff:
I may try another one in the near future. 
I just want to make sure the package arrives safely to its international destination so that I can offer to all countries again.
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

For those of you who ship from the US to international, does this seem right?

Your item arrived at our USPS facility in
LOS ANGELES CA INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER
on February 2, 2021 at 10:33 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination.

There is nothing after this entry and it's been 12 days.  :think: :dunno:

It will take a while. Depending on where it goes it can take anything between 10 days and two months (or longer  :facepalm: )

There is also no guarantee that the carrier in the destination country will update the same tracking number. If you are lucky, and the connection with USPS works, they might update it. It is a waiting game. It will make it eventually  :tu:

I’ve found the same thing FB, I often buy from the US for delivery to Sydney.
It can take anything from about 10 days to 10 weeks. Quite often the UPS (or whoever) tracking data shows it was delivered to the airport (export facility) but no more, right up until the day I receive it
:cheers:

Thank you for that information Echotech.
I had two choices when I printed the label, $27 or  $60.  Sadly, I picked $27 and that likely has a lot to do with it.  :oops:
I feel badly I picked the slower shipping, I didn't realize just how slow it would be.  :facepalm:

I always pick the cheaper tbh FB, US$60 is about A$90 and just too much, half the time the knife (it’s pretty well always a knife ;) ) didn’t cost that much in the first place and I reckon it only gets here a little quicker than the cheaper price

 :iagree: I don't believe the extra cost makes international shipping much faster or more convenient. There are simply too many stops and different companies involved.

FB, do not feel bad that you have chosen cheaper shipping, You have done the right thing. Also like SirVicaLot said,  I don't believe the extra cost makes international shipping much faster.
I'm not sure that carrier in my country will update tracking number, but i will post some updates here soon as i know that the package is in the post office.  :cheers:

:iagree: In my experience, the fastest and most reliable shipping to Russia from the USA is the cheapest USPS Priority with tracking, not the more expensive or alternative shipping methods like UPS, etc. (do not forget also that for non-state postal services in some countries there may be a lower non-taxable customs limit than for state ones and more documents are required to be processed).

Don't worry, Lisa. That's still very early. Especially in this covid age. Shipping slowed down significantly, packages often end up in quarantine, even when they arrive at the destination country. And more expensive shipping doesn't make it more reliable or that much faster. I'm relatively close to DeeDee, and a package from Nix in the US needed almost a month to get to Croatia, and then another month till the customs let it free.

Usually when I receive something from the US, the tracking stops at the same point your example does.

It usually means it's in a warehouse in my country, awaiting processing.
As long as it isn't scanned into the system, it'll remain "on it's way to the destination country".
Even before Covid, this could take anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks....

I don’t know how many of you have seen the movie Groundhog Day, but every day I wake up and check the package status and it’s still saying February 2nd!  :ahhh

All of your replies have helped.  :cheers:

Few hours ago i have received nicely packed box with the items from this GAW. Lisa nicely wrapped every item, and she took care everything to be safe.
I think that this is the GAW with most items(knives) organized so far on this form and still can not choose my favorite, because i like them all.
Thanks to ulzhan now i know my lucky number  :cheers:
Thanks again to Lisa and i wish all the best to everyone else
