Do USP tracking numbers start with USPS?

My pre-order of Guitar Hero III shipped yesterday and the UPS tracking number looks different than what I'm used to seeing. It starts with USPS instead of 1Z like it should. Example: this is a UPS tracking number in the right format 1ZW098R41276681979 This is what mine is like USPS9101143042747200116498 Those examples aren't my real tracking numbers by the way they're just examples to show the difference. I ordered my guitar Hero III through redoctane and got free ground shipping via UPS with it. When I try to use the tracking number redoctane gave me it's invalid. I wonder if it's even a real tracking number. What do you people think? Would redoctane try and screw me out of my order?

1. I suspect that you're in a low impact area for UPS and therefore they farmed out the shipping to USPS. You might try running the real number through the USPS tracking system at USPS.com
