in transit from origin processing usps meaning is a status update customers see when their package has left the original facility but has not yet arrived at a sorting center closer to the destination. This is part of the USPS tracking process and usually indicates that the package is moving between major hubs. Although it may appear that no progress is being made, the package is still en route. This status is common during peak shipping times or with shipments traveling long distances. Customers are advised to allow 24–48 hours for updates, especially with standard shipping services.
