@Rollocks That’s completely normal for international shipments.
The shipping label is created at our overseas fulfillment center, but USPS doesn’t show it as “created” until the parcel arrives in the U.S., clears customs, and is physically handed over to them. Every international parcel must go through this process before entering the domestic network.
This is why there’s typically a gap of several days between label creation and the first USPS update and the recent holiday period has slowed down that transition a bit further.
You’ll also notice that your USPS number is longer than a typical U.S. tracking code - it’s generated by our international courier partner before handoff to USPS for final delivery.
Everything is already in motion, and tracking will update automatically once it’s processed at the U.S. entry facility.
