Cultural Tip
In Brazil, the contraction 'tá' is extremely common in spoken Portuguese and signals a relaxed tone. If you are writing an email to a company or speaking with someone you don't know well, switch to the full form 'está' for a more polite register. Also, 'pacote' can be slang for a bundle of drugs, so context matters.
