待取 (dàiqǔ, "be ready for pickup") is formed from 待 (dài, "wait") plus 取 (qǔ, "take or receive"), so the phrase focuses on collection that has not yet happened.

Usage tips

  • The word is useful for reading practical notices because Chinese often compresses a complete delivery message into a short status label like this.
