I am not sure why people are dancing around "this seller." This is what typically happens with Greg Morris Cards, who ships a large volume of cards on a daily basis. What is likely happening is that the USPS is scanning in the scan form upon pick up of the shipment because it makes no sense for a driver to be scanning hundreds of packages on Greg Morris' dock. The individual packages don't get separately scanned until later at the sort facility where they, you know, sort things based on destination.
It is typical with cards from Greg Morris that there is 3-5 days between when the actual shipment is processed by GMC and when it gets it's first individual scan inside the USPS network. The history will often look like some variation of this:

To blame this on the seller doesn't make sense. It is, as i believe Rich K said earlier, an artifact of the USPS process and the fact that GMC is located in the second largest city in the nation.
