What does it mean when my direct mail order shows as 'shipped'?

For a direct mail order, a shipped status usually refers to physical items tied to your job being sent to you, not the mailing itself dropping at the post office.

• Shipped often means overage copies or a sample box from your run have been sent to your address.
• It does not by itself confirm that your full mailing has been handed to the USPS.
• To confirm the exact date your mail job was dropped at the USPS, contact support with your order reference.
• Options and turnaround vary by product and can change, so confirm the latest details on the product page or with support.
