So I sent DCN on all the packages I sent out a day or so ago, but one person has messaged me saying the tracking number is invalid. Now Im thinking I may have done it wrong? Im not sure. All I did was put the priority flat rate stamp (that rectangular one you have to pull out of the middle of a bigger sticker. The $5.15 stamp) And two extra 0.45 cent stamps on there. That makes it 6.05 total. When I calculate price on the usps website it says 5.90 would be the total, so I know the stamps have covered the cost.
1. Did I do something wrong here? Put the DCN sticker on the package and pay the extra cost in stamps.
2. Will my packages still arrive?
3. Are they lazy or busy and just may have missed scanning it?
4. Where can I buy "regular" $5 or $5.15 stamps? These had like an APC code and Date of Sale and some other numbers on it, at the top it says "US Postage" underneath that is "$5.15". The whole thing is a sticker but the middle part(the actual stamp) is perforated so you can pull it off easily. This just weirds me out and I know i've seen stamps for $5 or more that had pretty little pictures instead of weird shit that makes me think they can track where the stamp came from.
5. If I did do it wrong, what is the correct way to do DCN?
Oh, and is it safe for me to track packages from my computer? Not using TOR of course.

if it is only one person out of say, a few at least, then you might have just perhaps mistyped a number when transcribing on your keyboard to them? it's the one thing that can't be copy/pasted directly. be sure double check in the future? just a thought...
but errors are also common on behalf of the usps, and it might just pop up n the system any minute..
if you dont wanna check a dcn using tor then maybe just use a public wi-fi hotspot. sit in your car in the parking lot to avoid camera's if need be. whatever it takes to stay off camera. and spoof MAC if possible. and track ur dcn. ;)

Sometimes if the number's checked too early nothing comes up

Yeah, its been about a day now since I sent them out. So I figure it will be any moment now or tomorrow sometime. I think they are just lazy or dont even bother to scan the god damn things.

I have always been told that tracking packages using TOR is a big no-no and will get your packages pulled for inspection quite quickly.
