“Item delayed” after out for delivery

Hi, I’m a very anxious Australian who bought an expensive gift for a close friend in Canada.

I’ve been tracking the shipping and the package was updated to be out for delivery today, and the last scan matches this with it being in her city, but it’s suddenly changed to “item delayed - stay tuned for updates” within the last hour.

Dealing with Australia post this often means the package has gone missing/is stolen so I’m pretty damn anxious and want reassurance if this is normal or not, as I’ve only ever dealt with Canada post once before where things went smoothly.
