The seller or its fulfilment warehouse has registered your parcel with PostNL, and the parcel is still at the sender's warehouse. PostNL has not collected it yet. This is the very start of the journey: the shipping label exists and the data has been passed on, but the parcel has not entered the PostNL network.
On its own, this message is normal and not an exception. It only becomes a concern if it stays as the latest update for longer than the earlier steps took. In that case the parcel may be waiting at the sender for handover to PostNL.
Most often, the next update is "The item is pre-advised to PostNL", which means PostNL has received the shipment details in its system. After that, the parcel is handed over and scanned. Later steps include being received and processed at a PostNL sorting center. The parcel is not on the move until one of those scans appears.
