When USPS tracking info says Available for Pickup it means your package has arrived at your local post office where you get your mail.

If you have a post office box then they will usually put a yellow slip in your mail box to bring into the post office at the counter and pick up your package.

Or they might put a key in your mailbox for one of those parcel lockers in the lobby of the post office.

Being available for pickup doesn't always mean that it's ready for pickup though because sometimes It just means it's at the post office.

But if it says available for pickup you can usually go to the post office and get the package as it should be there.

When it has been delivered the tracking information should update to say delivered.
