Knowing USPS that means that it's probably at your local PS waiting to be delivered. The last time that I placed an order I checked the status online just for grins and it said that it was still in Chicago.. This was after I opened it and was happily vaping.
I have had several orders that claimed to have gone north instead of west (I am in Idaho). I still always manage to get them in about 3-5 days. The tracking for the PO is a waste of time. By the time it tells you anything you already have your package.
somehow my order i placed last friday is now in Wisconsin? i live in Texas. 4 days and it went north.tisk tisk tisk.
Today I checked my tracking, and I live in Wisconsin. A package being shipped from Chicago to Milwaukee. Where is it now, you ask? Tampa. Yes, that's right. Tampa, Florida. LOL!
8-o i think someone is falling asleep at the wheel or they hired those pilots from Northwest. i should apply and show them how a compass works.
My order was place on sunday, shipped out of v4l on monday and have been in cincinatti for the past 2 days, Im in texas. They have never gone thru cinci before. Christmas must be frying their brains.
As others have noted, I've seen all kinds of weird tracking that has nothing to do with where the package is. Those guys couldn't find a package with both hands if it were taped to their rumps.
I tossed a hissy fit when I saw a package recently in Nome, Alaska that was coming from the bay area about 120mi south of me. They went looking for it. They called me just a couple hours later to let me know they did indeed find it in Nome. Which would have been fantastic if it wasn't in my hands at the moment, in California, having been signed for a few minutes before.
Up until an hour ago, my latest shipment from V4L was still showing as not having been picked-up by USPS yet. Of course, it was delivered more than 12hrs ago. . .
So yeah, not the most up-to-date tracking.

I was about to create a thread for this. It says:

I wouldn't sweat it too much at this point. The USPS tracking system (as the two threads on the topic illustrate) is not a bastion of accuracy.
Mine has said Cincinatti for the last 2 days.
Ordered Sunday, shipped by V4L monday, still not here 4 days later.
Ordered Sunday, shipped by V4L monday, still not here 4 days later.
I'm really hoping for good old USPS efficiency with this order.. I'd love to have my order in Saturday, but I'm not holding my breath.
The USPS tracking sucks, but, delivery is still damn good, for the 98% of customers. If your having issues, call us, and we will help.

im not sure i would call it an issue, seeing as its not your fault. but how long should i wait before i should feel worried? im guessing/hoping it will be in tomorrow, that will be one week from the day. scratch that i guess monday was the first day (ordered late friday).
USPS tracking is a joke - but they give me a lot less hassle than UPS. I had to show them online with my phone that my Blu starter kit that I returned was not a tobacco product. However at the post office I actually had one guy pull out his PV to show it off when I was vaping before I came inside
I am likely to blame the Holidays as well:

I'm thinking maybe they double up on tracking numbers; I experienced this problem with Fed Ex at one point. I ordered a fancy cellphone, and per usual fashion, was excited to pull up the tracking number and hit refresh every 5 minutes to see what progress it'd made.
The tracking told me it had been sent out a week prior to my order and was delivered to San Francisco (I was living in South Carolina at the time). I was pretty sure that, no, that was not my cellphone.
The tracking didn't even update until Fed Ex was at my door.
