Known USPS Tracking Number Issues
From time to time, USPS will assign a reused tracking number to a shipment, or the shipment will be scanned incorrectly. These can be confusing because you might see a shipment history for an order that hasn't left the warehouse yet. This can happen for a couple primary reasons; there's nothing to do about them other than be aware and either wait for the issue to correct itself or wait for the actual delivery to occur:
Recycled Tracking Numbers
Usually, you will see a different destination and delivery date/time than expected. There may also be a note in the tracking information stating the label is "Archived." Typically after the Post Office scans the label again, the tracking info will update accordingly.
USPS Incorrect Scanning
If the shipping address is correct, then it could be a USPS driver error such as scanning a package as "Delivered" instead of "Accepted". When this happens, the tracking information is updated with "Delivered" status, and the tracking number will not accept additional updates from subsequent scans of the label. If tracking the shipment is a high priority, a USPS customer service rep should be able to help.
