When your order ships, you will receive tracking from Stamps.com. USPS is currently struggling to keep up. Once it leaves our business, we cannot control what happens to your package. We are seeing many orders are not scanned in and out by USPS, in an effort for them to save time. We know it is frustrating and are hopeful that things will get better as Covid rates drop. Try to be patient as most packages make it to their destination eventually.
