USPS (note, not UPS) normally hands it off to the 'local' mail service once abroad. As I posted earlier in this thread, mine came that way, but I found that the USPS tracking code also worked in the UK ParcelForce tracking system & showed me the 'in-country' steps it went through.
It's reported that the chance of getting stopped by Customs is (significantly?) lower than with UPS - the downside is that if it does get stopped by Customs, PF send you a letter to tell you about it, which adds to the delay.
