You will be to check this on usps.com once you have received your delivery confirmation number by email.

USPS Priority Mail International & First-Class Package International Service
Priority Mail International and First-Class Package International Service via USPS takes 1-3 weeks to arrive from the date of shipment.

Both shipping methods come with a tracking number, but First-Class Package International is slower to update tracking information.  First-Class Package International has a weight limit of 4 lbs (1.8kg). If you need a shipment within 10 days, or need a more reliable ability to track the package, we recommend UPS Worldwide Expedited or USPS Priority Mail Express International. First Class Package International is a cheaper level of service, and does not provide the same speed or reliability of the UPS Worldwide Expedited or USPS Priority Mail Express International.
