Tracking your shipping to Aruba

No matter where you ship to, it is advisable to get a tracking number with your shipment.  This holds true when shipping to Aruba, especially since it is a great distance from most places and therefore the risk of it being lost in transit is a bit higher that if you were mailing something down the street.
