| Please don't let the sellers change status to shipped until the item in in
possession of the shipper. I have orders go a week with the USPS status being
label created order not yet in their possession.

| Many times postal companies don’t scan things for days (when I shipped directly
with Canada post it’s been over a week before the first scan in the past) so
most likely the items have been shipped or will be shipped soon and patience
is needed

Also rural Canadian sellers (such as myself) would mark an order as shipped when
it’s safe in the rural mailbox, but it still has to be picked up by Canada Post
and scanned at a location. In my opinion, the order is shipped when it’s no longer
in the seller’s possession.

Some stores only ship once or twice a week. Read the store terms to see if they
say how often they ship orders. If you are concerned about an order, reach out
to the seller and politely ask if your order has been shipped.
As others have said, sometimes the courier does not scan the label in, and you
will not see an update until it has reached its next destination. This is particularly
true for first class mail in the USA.

Most of my orders the post office has been good about keeping up with the tracking.
One seller took over 3 weeks before the post office changed status to received.
This was after trying numerous times to communicate with the seller

I agree that there are sellers out there that do not ship right away and will
mark the order as shipped before it has shipped.
The best defense to this is to read the store's feedback and see if other
buyers have mentioned "Slow to ship" or "Did not ship for over a
week". These are tell-tale signs that the seller takes their time shipping
out packages. In my experience, these sellers are also poor communicators.

I voted no, as this is not enforceable worldwide.

Already in the rules at https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=41
but not enforceable as the definition of 'shipped' may vary around the
world.
Also, without more in-between statuses, the work process of the seller may dictate
the time an order is flagged as shipped.
