what is pre shipment on usps

what is pre shipment on usps refers to the stage of a shipment before the package is physically dispatched from the sender’s location. Pre-shipment status on USPS tracking means that the carrier has received the shipping information but has not yet processed the package for delivery. This can occur if the seller has created the shipping label but hasn’t handed over the package to USPS. Once the package is picked up or dropped off, the status will change from pre-shipment to “in transit.”
