what does held for pickup at carrier location mean

Held for pickup at carrier location means that the item has arrived at a local carrier facility, such as a USPS, FedEx, or UPS center, and is ready for the recipient to pick up in person. This could happen for several reasons, such as an attempted delivery that couldn’t be completed (e.g., no one was home to accept the package), a requirement for an ID check for sensitive or high-value packages, or the package being too large for standard delivery methods. Customers will need to visit the designated location to retrieve the item.
