What dose USPS status Processed mean?

Question

I'm waiting for a item and on the USPS status page it says Status: Processed

your item was processed and left our SPOKANE, WA facility on August 17, 2008.

Answer 1

Honestly, the last three times I've used the USPS Priority Mail online tracking system.. It would say the package hadn't even been in transit - yet the next day it would show up on my doorstep!

USPS Priority Mail typically will have things to you in three-five days or less. The fact that it says it left the Spokane, WA facility on August 17th I'm comfortable with saying you'll be seeing it sometime between the 20th-22nd.

Regardless, don't depend too heavily on the USPS tracking - call whomever shipped the package and confirm that it's actually been shipped. And if it was shipped Priority as you made it appear it has - then it'll be there soon.

Answer 2

exactly what it says.

It came into their Spokane facility, was basically checked in and out......then shipped out. It's on it's way .

Answer 3

It means that is entered into the tracking system.  Really a redundant statement since you could not look up the information if it had not been processed.

Answer 4

It means the package was sorted according to destination (zip code) and the Delivery Confirmation was scanned at the hub.
