Fyi there won’t ever be a tracking number for any package until it’s in a box, a label is printed and slapped onto it, and it’s in a truck.

yep thats when they should announce that it shipped. not when the order was entered. and it shouldnt take a $177Billion dollar consumer company 3 days to get a box out the door.

Unless something changed in the past 3-5 years, that is not true. I used to sell a lot on Etsy and eBay and both created a tracking number as soon as you generated the label. If you checked it right away, the USPS site would say they hadn’t processed the package at the post office yet.

If it’s not shipped there’s nothing to track.

lol I can tell you’ve never worked in fulfillment. Whether an order has been shipped is something you need to track.

The tracking number is on the label. There’s a tracking number as soon as the label is created, before it’s ever printed or slapped on a box. Whether or not a customer is given the tracking number when the label is created is a different story.

I’ve had plenty of tracking numbers that just take me to a page that says “label created - USPS/UPS/FedEx awaiting item” until the carrier receives it. Some won’t give me tracking until it’s been picked up by the carrier, because there’s no point tracking an item that hasn’t shipped, but the number still exists.
