Is it the same with you? Don’t panic. It’s a normal situation that happens to a few people, so let’s find out what’s going on and decide what to do next.
What does Shipment Received Package Acceptance Pending mean?
When the tracking status’ Shipment Received, Package Acceptance Pending’ shows, it means the post office has received an item to ship, but it doesn’t arrive at the USPS sorting facility yet. once it will come, the tracking status will get updated.
Post staff occasionally receive bulk mail, such as fifty or hundreds of packages. To save time, they won’t scan each package individually, and directly they send it to the sorting facility. This is the reason why tracking results show it’s in the sorting facility.
When your mail item will successfully be get sorted, it will go to SCF, so once it reaches SCF, it will be automatically updated to the new tracking status. SCF stands for the sectional center facility.
What should I do?

Nonetheless, if the tracking status has not changed, Let USPS customer service know what’s happening because they are the only option who can provide information about the mail.
It is possible that your package was stolen or damaged if it isn’t updated within 15-17 days. In addition, it is possible that one of the staff members forgot to send the package.
