For The Ghost, there were a lot of people who got the "shipped" notice and tracking number but it took a while for the tracking number to show up in the FedEx app, sometimes not even until the delivery day because of the way that Hasbro drop shipped them in bulk to some larger cities.
As I recall I didn't get a shipped notice until later in the day it was delivered, so it was handy to have the FedEx tracking info as that had useful information once The Ghost arrived at a local distribution center.
However Hasbro manages the drop shipping it was pretty weird, I think especially in the larger cities where they were drop shipped to. It wasn't like the normal process where you get a notification that your item ships, you track it, and it shows up. It was totally backwards.
Ideally you've got your FedEx account set up and you can go see if a shipping label has been created or not. I think most of us had a shipping label created that existed for a couple of weeks before The Ghost showed up.
