Confused About Drone Shipping Status from DeepSpace – Any Insights?

it says package waiting to be picked up by carrier

Got it. Based on my experience, this is usually indicative of the seller/sender having created a shipping label, but that the carrier hasn't yet scanned the physical package into their network. Seller may have printed the label at home or in their warehouse but haven't yet handed the box over to the carrier. Alternatively, it could mean that the seller dropped the package off w/ the carrier but that it was missed on the initial scan phase and is actually moving through the network unscanned until a sorting facility down the line catches it and scans it in. Might not be a horrible idea to double check w/ the seller directly to confirm where they are at with it though.
