What is happening in the supply chain

Instead of moving through USPS regional hubs, consolidated parcels travel between private partner hubs (often 1 to 3 hubs coast-to-coast). Each arrival scan confirms physical movement inside the partner's network.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my package arrive at a shipping partner facility in another state?
Consolidators route parcels through centralized regional sort hubs (for example in IL, IN, PA, TX, GA, NJ, or NV) before dispatching trucks to local post offices.
Can I pick up my package at a shipping partner facility?
No. Partner hubs are wholesale sortation warehouses without public retail counters; final delivery is completed by your local USPS carrier.
