Thank you both for replying:)

Thank you SO much for the information. I will check back at the post office. I do have an actual physical address now and mail can be sent via USPS, but was still told once the package leaves the US there is no tracking.

My son was stationed on Guam for 3 years. He facetimed me during a typhoon. His first daughter was born there. Now expecting his 2nd daughter. I mailed a child size recliner chair to them. HUGE box! The mail took quite awhile to get there. I followed tracking numbers whenever I mailed packages to them. He & his family lived in a rented house off base. I always mailed packages through USPS with tracking numbers. I'm baffled as to why you were advised USPS has no tracking.

Prayermom I have some suggestions

I have not been on this group page in a long time. Hoping that it is still active. Looking for any tips on mailing items to Guam. Have tried the FPO a couple of times. 2 of the 3 packages made it. Inquired about an actual physical address....FedEx & UPS are options but very expensive. Advised that USPS has no tracking.
Any experience or help would be greatly appreciated. (Thought about a brightly colored box....just to draw attention to it! Ha!Ha!) Thanks to all, hope everyone is doing well :)

My son Facetimed me from Guam today 11 am his time. He said the Typhoon is expected to be a direct hit (150mph CAT 5) at approximately between 1 pm until 6 pm Guam time. People living in lower elevations were told to go to schools for shelter. Flooding in lower areas is expected. It is supposed to be the worst storm to hit Guam in decades. If anyone on here knows more info please post. Thank you.

Near Category 5 Super Typhoon projected to make a direct or near direct hit on Guam. Prayers for safety for all!

What a beautiful baby girl! So nice to hear an update from all of you. I've not checked in a while. Our son has also been in Guam for almost one year now. Loving the work and a new adventure. Miss getting to talk to him as the time difference and their schedule does not allow for much. Hoping to make a trip over at some point. Pictures look awesome! Really looking forward to that. Again, great to hear from everyone.
