Smishing is the word for phishing scams delivered by text message.
That "USPS/FedEx/DHL" notification about a failed delivery with a link to "track your package" is almost always a scam.
Real carriers don’t send unsolicited tracking links via text.
If you’re expecting a package, go directly to the carrier’s official website and use the tracking number you received at purchase.
Delete the text — don’t forward it, just delete.
