EIS Program package "ready for pickup at post office"

Has anyone else faced this? I have an item coming from the US (I'm in Canada) and the tracking shows the following:

Available for Pickup
CAROL STREAM
550 FULLERTON AVE
CAROL STREAM IL 60188-5204
M-F 0700-1900; SAT 0800-1400
October 1, 2024, 11:59 pm

Will an employee at the eBay shipping hub go pick it up?
All of my other EIS packages have gone straight to the eBay hub in Illinois, but this one for some reason shows it's being held at a post office (and it updated at 11:59 PM at night, for some reason)

eBay customer service was of no help, they gave me different answers every time I contacted them so I figured I'd ask here and speak to people that can actually understand the situation

Thanks in advance

They may be waiting for the truck to turn up and needed to record why that batch of packages is being Held during a shift change. 

 

What is the last estimated date for delivery?
Record that on your calendar and don't watch tracking.

There may be a new address to which eIS shipments are to be directed and it involves a post office.

 

At any rate, i concur with @femmefan1946:  If the item's shipping journey has only recently begun, it's way too early to be checking on the tracking and worrying about it.  I think we buyers have been sold a bill of goods when it comes to tracking.  It doesn't do anything to affect the item's transit to the recipient and gives buyers the illusion of control over the shipment, so we get unnecessarily worried or frustrated when we find there actually isn't much if anything we can do when the tracking information looks suspicious.
