It might be in a holding area somewhere.  I believe when you see "Signed for by STAMP (rubber stamp signature)" then it is actually in the Consulate.

 

Good Luck

yes, both tracking #'s say exactly that... Signed for by STAMP

 

I just mailed some documents to my wife in china, and what's interesting is that my local post office said that I didn't need a customs form for it, since it was only documents... interesting eh?

shentaro....it seems like you used the same 'science' that I used. It is not foolproof, but looks like it worked somewhat for both of us ! Ken

This is correct........"Stamp" is just a rubber stamp wtih the consulate info on it, and when it appears as 'signed for', it means it is in consulate.

 

As far as the customs forms, I am not sure but I think weight has a lot to do with needing the forms.
