pre-parcel anxiety 

The nervous impatience experienced when waiting for a parcel or package you've ordered to be delivered. Often accompanied by frequent glances at the front door for signs of the courier driver when you hear any audible or visual queues of their presence. Generally the level of pre-parcel anxiety is highly correlated with either the monetary, sentimental or hype-based value placed on the package being delivered.
"After my package wasn't delivered yesterday I've got serious pre-parcel anxiety!"

"10:43am: My package hasn't arrived yet! the courier better not have stole it!"

Panceling 

Canceling plans at the last minute because you went home and made the mistake of taking your pants off, incapacitating the ability to be convinced it's worth going back out
Looks like I'm panceling on going out tonight. Let's try for next week!
Panceling by Clifwith1f October 3, 2018
To make plans with the intention of canceling or never following through. Often used if the planceling party is not quick enough to come up with an excuse. Sometimes both parties plancel, and no meeting is intended, the future event is just a social gesture.

(I made this word up, but you should use it.)
The specific plancel:

A: What are you doing on Thursday?
B: (Thinking: I can't come up with anything!) I don't know.
A: Let's go see a movie
B: That would be great. (I'm trapped. I hope he doesn't call, but I'll tell him a family member is ailing if he presses it.)

The two-way, generic plancel:

A: It was so good to see you.
B: You too. Let's do dinner sometime. (We're never doing dinner).
A: Definitely. (We're never doing dinner.)
