TL;DR paste your tracking number into 17track.net instead of the default USPS that is included in the shipping e-mail. (Unless of course the USPS one works for you)
When I got an email saying my pine was shipping it had a link to USPS. My package is going from some Chinese shipper to Canada Post. (Not USPS) Which means the USPS link is blank, it doesn't show anything for that tracking number
Should have just emailed a link to 17track.net or similar website that can track pretty much all shippers. 17track.net has a very pleasant looking website. I've read a few reddit posts or something of people who were confused that nothing ever showed up on their USPS tracking page. Probably because their package never went through USPS. They said they did receive their boards though.
Just thought I'd mention it so if anyone else wants to know how far along their package is, they can find out. I certainly didn't even realize something like this was possible until I started buying things from aliexpress and they recommend 17track as well.
Ugh, Canadian shipping is soooo slow!
