What is "held at post office?

Held at post office means that a package or mail item was not delivered to the recipient and is being held at the post office for various reasons. This could be due to an address error, the recipient not being available at the time of delivery, or the package being too large to deliver directly to the recipient's address. The post office will hold the item for a certain period of time, typically 7-10 days, before it is returned to the sender or disposed of. The recipient can pick up the held package from the post office with proper identification and proof of address.
