What does it mean when your package is at the distribution center?
When a parcel shows up on USPS Tracking as “Arrived At USPS Regional Distribution Facility” it indicates that it is stopping to be scanned and sorted. What is this? The Postal Service is comprised of a network of distribution centers (as well as Post Offices) that are used to get parcels where they need to go.
Why is my package stuck in one place?
Your package could be stuck in transit for many reasons: loss, damage, or even a USPS tracking system failure. More likely, though, the short-staffed US Post Office has misplaced, mislabelled, or simply overlooked your package. This means it can be located easily enough once you call attention to its absence.
Can I pick up my package from USPS distribution center?
To pick up a package from a USPS distribution center (i.e., not the package’s final destination) you can use a service called Package Intercept. This service reroutes the package – even after it has been delivered. But it can also be used to hold a package somewhere and allow you to go pick it up.
Where do USPS packages go from distribution center?
If the package is close to its destination, it will go to the destination facility closest to the delivery address. From the destination facility, the package will go to your local post office and then be delivered.
