With the possible exception of Express Mail there is no tracking on USPS mail. The number is a delivery confirmation number only. If you print labels online the post office is not required to scan them at acceptance, only delivery so many will simply show "electronic postage" purchased. For international, even if scanned at delivery it is a different postal system which may not show up on the USPS system for a long while after.

UPS has track, USPS only has delivery confirmation.
