I had checked USPS' home page and there was no update info
on those two mailings.
However, in my mail yesterday (4/12) was a return card
for the other IRS mailing. This one was stamped
received by IRS on 4/3 (just like the other one).
So there is a slowdown somewhere along the line in
getting the postcard delivered. WRT the electronic
confirmation within USPS, it's at least 24 hours since
the confirmation postcard reached my local post office
so they are slow in getting the information into their
database (unlike UPS or FedEx who gets it into their
system within minutes of delivery).
