Postal Letter

Postal tracking, please help!!!?

I have ordered a parcel from oversea's, and have been forwarded a tracking number via email. I would like to use a web based tracking service to see where this parcel is held up, but the problem is, I have no idea which company the tracking number belongs to. I have had no response from the sender when they were asked. The format of the tracking number is: EM2358*****US - (Total of 13 digits) Does anyone recognise this format and know which company's this is? Thanks in advance P.s. I didn't have a clue which section to post this in, but figured there would be plenty of ebay experience in here This was ordered from an American site delivering to the UK. A whois domain search shows that the site is based/hosted in the USA. So the USA is the likely source, but I know that in this day and age this does not necessarily mean that the company ships from this country, so this could be a tracking number from pretty much worldwide. I never said this was easy!!!! I had already tried all the US services I could think of, ie UPSP, UPS, Fed-Ex but that was me out of idea's. Oh and Ginger, thought you had cracked it with EMS but no joy! :(

1. http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/ems/index_en.html company probably EMS - you did not say country of origin for shipping, however.
2. If it's a postal tracking number, it's the US Postal Service (usps.gov). If it's a shipping tracking number (that could be anyone), just try the different companies. It doesn't cost anything to type the number into their site and be told that the number is no good.
