Getting Stuck At the Center

It could also be the package is waiting to be logged into the USPS system. Generally, the “stuck in transit” message on tracking means no Metro New York processing or distribution center depot has scanned the package in the past 24 hours.

Packages typically spend around 1-2 days at a carrier facility. However, the specific timeline may also vary depending on the type of product and delivery service. Additionally, unexpected delays (often pertaining to peak season) may also occur, resulting in packages spending longer than usual at the carrier facility.

Your parcel could be stuck in transit for many reasons: loss, damage, or perhaps, a USPS tracking system failure. Most USPS packages are automatically insured for $100. Contact your local post office, submit a search query via USPS, and contact the recipient immediately if your USPS shipment is stuck in transit.
