What Jamie wrote
I just got my first AirTags. This McElhearn put one in the mail and sent it away to see how effective you can track an AirTag "in the wild".
This means that someone, either the mailman who picked up the mail and delivered it to the sorting station, or another employee at the sorting station had an iPhone, which spotted the AirTag. Apple touts their network of nearly a billion devices capable of spotting AirTags, and if there are that many, it should be easy to track this envelope across the country.
The device was findable for a large amount of its journey. There are a lot of iPhones out there.
