The idea
Ankommen is a verb of movement and forms its perfect with sein: “ist … angekommen”. Bestellt is a participle used as an adjective: meine bestellte Packung. “Unter welchem Namen” is the fixed way to ask the name on an order or booking, with unter + dative. “Wurde … bestellt” is the past passive. Der Abholzeitpunkt is when you can collect it; abholen means to pick up.
Other ways to say it
“Ist meine Bestellung schon da?” – Short and casual; very common on the phone.
“Ab wann kann ich die Bestellung abholen?” – Neutral; asks for the earliest collection time.
Examples
- Ist meine bestellte Packung bereits angekommen?Has the pack I ordered arrived yet?
- Unter welchem Namen wurde sie bestellt?Under what name was it ordered?
- Unter Novak, gestern am späten Nachmittag.Under Novak, late yesterday afternoon.
- Ich schaue nach dem Bestellstatus.I will check the order status.
- Können Sie mir den Abholzeitpunkt bestätigen?Can you confirm the collection time?
- Ich nenne Ihnen nur den bestätigten Stand.I will only tell you the confirmed status.

Watch out
“Hat meine bestellte Packung bereits angekommen?” → “Ist meine bestellte Packung bereits angekommen?”: Ankommen describes arriving, a change of place, so the perfect uses sein, not haben. English “has arrived” misleads learners.

Ist meine bestellte Packung bereits angekommen?

Ich nenne Ihnen nur den bestätigten Stand.
“Nur” limits the answer; “den bestätigten Stand” is accusative, meaning the status that is certain, not a guess.
