I trying to express that something has been sent but not yet delivered. Does the following sentence express this correctly for American English?
Your package has not arrived, is on its way to you.
PD that is in the context of a gift card, for a present that I buy but have not arrived in time, so I giving a gift card instead.
macrafPersonnel and moving platforms: The lift truck is never to be moved or repositioned with a platform elevated or with personnel on the platform. Always lower the platform and have all personnel dismount before moving or repositioning the truck. The only way to raise personnel to a work site is with the appropriate platform. The music video for 'It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)', was filmed on 23 February 1976 for the Australian music television program Countdown. It featured the band's members on the back of a flatbed truck travelling on Swanston Street in Melbourne, Australia, being followed by members of the Rats of Tobruk Pipe band.

If the person to whom you're communicating is a native English speaker, just say,
Your package is in the mail.
That says it all, believe it or not. Note well, however: The sentence 'It's in the mail' can also be used in a deceptive way, as when, for example, a landlord calls you on your cellphone, asking you where his rent check is. If you say, 'It's in the mail,' beware! That could mean you have not yet sent the rent check (and may never send it)!
Since your given name is Spanish, I assume you know that the word mañana can mean tomorrow, but it can also mean never.
