Postal Letter

What does Acceptance mean on USPS tracking?

This is what my tracking says Your item was accepted at 12:51 pm on May 02, 2011 in BRISTOL, CT 06010. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later. I live in Columbus Ohio, when could i expect my package? I forgot to add, its being shipped by priority mail.

1. Acceptance means that it is in the hands of the USPS since 12:51 PM, today. Priority Mail averages 2-3 days, nationwide. That is the average, which is met more than 96% of the time, not a guarantee.
