I've got a book the same way too (my state is Iowa). I was wondering (and hoping) that it was just a glitch of some sort.

I have one too, mailed 2/11: 

 USPS DC#: XXXX

2/13/2011 1 :53 PM - Enroute - FL

2/15/2011 1:36 AM - Electronic Shipping Info Received - GA

 This book is coming from Georgia. But all of my other books, even mailed out at the same time, have normal entries. Odd.

Ok I feel a little better now, least Im not the only one. Maybe the scans are being sent back to where they came from or something.

I noticed this on a couple of my books. "Electronic Shipping Info Received" is the system's way of letting you know that your printed DC/postage has been recognized. I think the transmission of that info is being delayed for some reason. So it's telling us that our labels are official, but it's telling us after the package has already been scanned a couple of times.

Just happened to one of my books too.  The "Electronic Shipping information received" scan was posted after a couple of en-route scans.  But the book arrived today--the same day that the electronic shipping info received scan was made.

The book I posted about earlier (2/11 enroute to MN; 2/12 enroute to IA) has now made it's way to Los Angeles where is should be.  Weird!

I'm glad I found this thread! I shipped out 4 on the 11th. Every few days I like to check where they are (wierd I guess).

This morning when I checked on them all 4 said enroute 2/13-2/15 range and then showed electronic shipping info received 2/15 underneath that.

But prior to these updates, they all had been updated showing shipping info received as the 11th. Now that is gone.

Thought I was going crazy (or was still half asleep). What a strange glitch/or delay!

Usually mine are scanned at our post office when they start and this one wasnt so maybe they are sending back the info scan to where it came from, something weird like that. They just like to keep us wondering lol
