I suppose it doesn't. It is one part of a larger collection of information, though.

• I had the item and shipping material (including label) on an otherwise empty desk
• I then placed the item in the box (or envelope, whatever package is appropriate for the item)
• I sealed the package and it remained sealed up to the point when I handed it to the USPS employee

So, if I know for certain that USPS received the item in a properly sealed box, it makes everything else easier to deal with.

If I shipped dozens of items per day, and it could have gotten mixed up somehow, that would be a different story.
