The point that I'm perhaps not successfully making is that this is quite a slow batch process. There isn't much point putting the RAK address in since the window of return was way too short. If you consider it will take a week, 10 days to be returned, it's best to just and only put a reliable address that will apply in one week, two weeks, not a couple of days. Now if WordTracer was working properly for you then in theory you could keep updating the address with your travels but as you have seen that comes with some risks. Your bag isn't like a human, being swiftly moved from place to place, but more like a parcel slowly finding its way to you. So it's about striking a balance here rather than feeling you need to mother every stage of it. From what you are saying I suspect you are a few days off getting the bag to the States and then a few more days until delivery.
