There was a number written on USPS packages?

I know I am probably being paranoid, but is it nornma for a usps pack to have a number (written wth a marker) otn the shipping label? I received 2 packs today (legal packs for regular shit off of cleanet) and noticed when the usps guy handed them to me (I was pulling up as he was arriving) that they both had the same number written on the packages? Now maybe that is how they keep track or whatever, but is that normal? They were from seperate companies but had the same nunmber written on the shipping labels?

Identifying marks for the mailman making it easier for him along his routes? This is my guess. When waiting on a special pack our paranoia goes through the fucking roof. It's like a religious nut searching for a message from god. EVERYTHING becomes a sign. If the cops haven't kicked down the door and shot the dog yet, nobodys on to you.

Probably has to do something with sorting to your particular area for USPS purposes. Domestic or international? It has got to do something with that code especially if they were from two separate companies. Type it in google just to be sure there's nothing with that code.

At my last place of residence, all my packages would have a blue dot marked on the front label from like a sharpie, every single time. I moved about 1.5 miles, to a new zipcode, and now all my packages have a red dot or sometimes slash on them.

Don't know for sure why, but really feel like it's related to sorting at some point.

Yeah idk what it is but mine always have a written number on them that's the same every time , maybe it's my streets spot in their delivery grid or something but I wouldn't worry about it

My eBay and Amazon backs used to get the same number always on them.

Its your mailmans route #. Nothing to worry about. Its just a number they put on packages so the sorters know what bin to throw it in for the carrier to pick up and deliver to you.

Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666!!!!!!!
