what does this USPS notice mean??

[ValKehl]

Fred, I have a similar situation taking place with respect to a card I purchased from a Los Angeles dealer. Here is what the USPS tracking currently shows:

Date Time Location Status
March 17, 2022 IN TRANSIT, ARRIVING ON TIME
March 16, 2022 22:14 LOS ANGELES CA DISTRIBUTION CENTER ARRIVED AT USPS REGIONAL ORIGIN FACILITY
March 16, 2022 12:20 LOS ANGELES,CA,90025 USPS IN POSSESSION OF ITEM
March 14, 2022 12:24 LOS ANGELES,CA,90025 SHIPMENT RECEIVED, PACKAGE ACCEPTANCE PENDING
March 13, 2022 20:13 LOS ANGELES,CA,90025 SHIPPING LABEL CREATED, USPS AWAITING ITEM

Yesterday, I called the USPS and asked the rep I spoke with if the item (a Priority Mail package) was actually received by the USPS on March 14th. After considerable discussion during which this rep put me on hold a couple of times, she said the item was actually received by the USPS on March 14th, but not "processed" (whatever this means) at this USPS branch until March 16th. I'm not sure I buy this explanation, but al long as this item (my post-War "white whale" baseball card!) arrives safe and sound, I'll be a happy camper.

Hi Val:

Here is the reply I received from the seller:

Hi there, the order has shipped per our shipment team confirmation. There have been delays in package acceptance for recent orders by USPS, but I am hopeful they will update their tracking for this order soon. The order is also large in size, so this may also have provided a delay in handling by USPS.

Seems it must be a "new" USPS "glitch"

If it makes you feel better, I shipped a package with priority mail last Friday and it still hasn’t been delivered 1 week later. I personally dropped it off at the counter and watched it get scanned. It was then scanned the next day at the local processing center and nothing after that. Drives me bonkers. Sometimes I’ll get packages delivered in 2 days that were supposed to take 3-4 days and then some packages take 1-2 weeks that should have been delivered in 2-3 days. No rhyme or reason. And it seems to be getting worse.
