Australia Post "delivery exception" scam

I am currently expecting a delivery from a well known computer parts company. Delivery is by Aus Post.
Is it a coincidence that the day before I am expecting the parcel to arrive I get an email with Aus Post all over it saying there has been a "delivery exception" and that I need to click on a button to view the delivery label. Threatened there would be charges if I did not pick up the parcel in four days.
Of course hovering the mouse over the button revealed a very sus overseas internet address.
I am used to these types of scams but I wondered if there is any way the scammers could know I had ordered something for delivery by Aus Post.
Or is it just a coincidence???
