I won an item on 5/17, located in Georgetown ME. Why does tracking show "Depart USPS Sort Facility" from Bethpage, NY, on 5/14!?

  Tracking after 5/14 continues as follows: "Electronic Shipping Info" was received on 5/20, then the package was "Accepted at USPS Origin Sort Facility""on 5/21 in Brooklyn, NY.  It was then "Processed at USPS Origin Sort Facility" on 5/22, again in Bethpage, NY.  I was expecting an origin scan in Maine.  Seems odd that the origin scans would be in New York.  I'm also perplexed by the 5/14 date.  Thoughts? more…
