Had a scare recently with USPS showing Delivered. I was going to be away on travel, so I had my mail put on Hold, knowing I had a couple cards en route and not wanting them to sit in the mailbox.
Despite deliveries on Hold (and I also kept a screenshot of USPS confirmation of the Hold status), I had 2 cards suddenly show Delivered. I texted a neighbor and had them check our mailbox - nothing there. Tried calling the post office, but it was impossible trying to get an actual person on the phone who could help. So, I waited it out.
A few days later, when the mail resumed and I was home, I walked down and watched the mailman deliver the cards with the rest of my mail.
Tracking is better than nothing, but not perfect.
