"This message was sent to you at the request of Lindsay Eymann, to notify you that they have shipped a package to you. For details about your shipment or to track your package, please refer to the information below."
I Googled and there is indeed a Lindsay Eyemann in Phoenix.

That does not mean the email is legit. If you don't know this person and aren't expecting a package, do nothing. Don't click on any links in the email. It may be a phishing expedition.
You will probably never receive a package. I regularly get these, Amazon delivery notices (even though I have never bought from Amazon), account warnings from banks I've never heard of. It's the wild west out there on the Internet.
Yes, do not click anything in the e-mail. Delete the e-mail immediately.
Stamps.com's contact/subscribers list may have been hacked, and a phishing e-mail being sent to all it's members; or something similar.
Best case scenario is that it is simply an error by stamps.com.
Thanks guys, there was only the tracking number as a link in the email and I copied and pasted the number into USPS site. Email deleted.
Without clicking on a tracking number potential url, did you at least manually type the tracking number into the USPS tracking window?
That would also have indicated that something addressed to you entered the mail or did not enter the mail.

Bruce, I highlighted, copied, pasted the tracking number into the USPS website and it came back with "no trace".
I Googled the firm in the email and found it was from Phoenix and that they charge around $16 month for the convenience of printing postage/shipping labels at home. Why would I pay good money and some for a full price label when I can buy postage at a discount? No contest.
I'm glad you copied and pasted the so-called tracking number into the USPS website. The answer you received pretty much conclusively proves that either the email was a part of a fishing scheme or spam.
