"Item Bagged" sounds promising. Hopefully you'll see a zip code soon.
I signed up for the MyUSPS tracking notifications via email and text message last week after reading about it here, and man, have I learned a lot about mail routing as a result. My wife is an Amazon addict, so we have 2-3 packages from them every week, plus the stuff she orders from eBay and Etsy, and every single one of them is picked up at it's shipping point by a "USPS Partner", but gets a USPS priority mail tracking number immediately. Those items are typically delivered in two days at the most, even from 8 states away, and they don't enter a USPS facility until they get to our local delivery hub. I knew already that USPS has a ton of contracts with private carriers / couriers, but I didn't know the extent to which they've integrated their tracking with those "Partners".
I also didn't know the extent of my wife's online shopping until now - Every package with a tracking number that is headed for delivery to my address registers in MyUSPS, regardless of who the recipient is - My jaw dropped when I saw all of the domestic 2-day priority mail items on the way here. Damn you, Amazon Prime, damn you to hell!
