General questions regarding Express shipping

Now we all know express raises extra scrutiny, but sometimes it seems to be necessary.

I used a Reputable vendor that does use express but asks for FE for express orders because people seem to order express because they are going away and then the order auto finalizes. I understood his point so I agreed as long as he sent me tracking, which he did.

My questions are:

How long does it take for an Express tracking number to show up on USPS website?

I've found conflicting info on the way express tracking numbers are formatted. USPS main website says it should be like this.. Priority Mail Express™ 9270 1000 0000 0000 0000 00 EA 000 000 000 US

The mobile site says it should be EA000000000US

And another site says it should just start with 2 letters then 9 digits then US.

Well my package was promised today and im hoping it comes but its still not updated on usps tracking. So if anyone can answer these questions that would be great. I hope i didn't get scammed and given a fake tracking number. Should I just be patient and wait for mail? Probably,, but you know. This is /r/darknetmarkets!

Does it say number not found or is it not updated yet and did you try both number formats?

UPDATE!!! Would just like to let everyone know it came. Mail was 3 hours late today and vendor mixed up a 6 and a 9 in the tracking number. That's why it wasn't working. Thanks for all the help though!!

Major changes nationwide with usps. Delays, route changes, new employees, plus the usual mishaps when delivering a nations mail by hand.

Plus they don't update tracking every step of the journey, if at all. F*** tracking though, and signatures, I didn't order s***.

USA domestic? Should be some variation of 9470 1000 xxxx etc. The EA and EK are for international I think.

Express seems to update slower for me but always comes the next day unless they are in bumfuck or lied or some USPS handling error.
