If your tracking status with USPS shows as “Pre-Shipment – Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item” or “Label Created, not yet in system” it’s likely your order has been misplaced or lost in the USPS system. This tracking status indicates that your package hasn’t been scanned into the USPS system yet. USPS has no way to verify if a package has been shipped until it has been scanned into their system. This is why they place the following disclaimer, “This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date” in the tracking details.

We ship all orders the same or next day. Just because USPS lists a shipment status as “Pre-Shipment – Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item” or “Label Created, not yet in system” does not mean your item(s) weren’t shipped.

If this is the case you can submit a Find My Missing Mail Claim with USPS 7 Business Days after the label was created HERE. You will need your tracking number and shipping address information. Once the claim is filed USPS will begin searching their system for your package. Once it is found the tracking information will be updated.

Once your claim is filed you can also set up Text & E-mail Updates for your shipment. You will be notified anytime your tracking status is updated. To set this up track your shipment at USPS.com and click “Text & E-mail Updates” just above your Tracking History.

Please keep in mind that we have no control over this situation, and do apologize in advance for any inconvenience. Understand that USPS processes millions of parcels a day and items do get lost or misplaced. The system is not perfect.

Expected delivery dates are not guarantee’s that your items will be delivered on that date. The expected delivery date is the calculated delivery date based on distance from the shipper and delivery address in an ideal and perfect world scenario. This date does not and can not account for delivery delays caused by weather, lost mail and other unexpected occurrences.

For a table of mail class and expected delivery dates once shipment is scanned into the USPS system see the table below.

Note:  *Except Alaska, Hawaii and US Territories – estimate provided by the postage price calculator.

Your tracking number is emailed to you once we mark your order as complete. You may also receive a separate e-mail from EasyPost, Paypal or USPS with your tracking number. We create and print our shipping labels through EasyPost.
