Has anyone else whose status showed "closeout" ended up receiving their passport without any notification on USPS informed delivery?
Check the paper status website.

The current theory is that they are taking the info in the online database and moving it over to the paper database. Note they aren't actually writing the applications out on paper, it's just that the data is stored in separate databases.
