The format of a USPS tracking number typically consists of 20 to 22 digits, excluding letters or other characters. For instance, it could appear as 9242 3847 3838 30000000 43. However, the number may vary depending on the shipping options. USPS Express shipments, for instance, are comprised of 13 characters. They begin with two capital letters and end with "US." For example, it could be displayed as EC 000 000 000 US.

You can find your USPS tracking number on one of the following places:

• A shipping receipt you got from your local post office
• A sales receipt for postal insurance you bought at your post office
• Email confirmation if you shipped something through USPS.com
• A shopping confirmation email from a retailer
• The bottom part of a USPS Tracking label

The USPS ensures that daily deliveries are finished by 5 pm local time from Monday to Saturday. If your package is prepared after 5 pm in your area, it might be delivered in the morning. If the USPS tracking data indicates that your package has reached its destination after 5 pm, it is likely that it will not be delivered until the following morning.

Occasionally, a USPS carrier may deliver items after 5 pm, but there is no guarantee that you will receive your package in the evening.

There are many reasons why your package is struggling to move:

• The address for a shipment is either incomplete or wrong.
• Someone missorted your package at a facility. The USPS handles thousands of packages each day, so there's a chance there could have been an error.
• Weather-related issues could be a factor, especially during serious rain or snowstorms. Tropical systems, earthquakes, tornados, and other severe weather emergencies can also be a risk in some places.
• The packaging for something may not be suitable for your order. A courier can stop delivering something if it appears the package is too dangerous or unstable. The packaging could have come apart, or the contents are too dangerous for the current package.
