What is happening in the supply chain

High-volume e-commerce shippers print USPS Parcel Select Lightweight / Ground Advantage labels (starting with 926129, 927489, or 420+ZIP+92) at the warehouse, but hand the physical Gaylord bins to a middle-mile consolidator. While the consolidator sorts and trucks the parcel across the country, USPS only receives electronic shipping-partner manifest updates.
