Thanks for the update, glad to hear that. Mine should follow the same path with 3-4 delays.
I just checked, it says "

what does it mean. I think its default status because I opted for courier service, can someone confirm.

My knowledge of the Minor application is quite limited, so I tend to avoid answering questions about it.
