When we send your tracking info, the first status is that the Post Office is waiting on the package. Once we print a label, the order goes out at the latest the following day. If the Post Office fails to scan the initial receipt of the package, which often they do not, it will stay in this status until a scan eventually happens. Currently, 80% of Media Mail packages never receive a scan to update tracking. If you ordered using Media Mail, it is on the way and will take a long time. We recommend using USPS Priority or UPS ground until the Postal Service fixes the situation with Media Mail
