After filing my taxes, status is 'Ready to mail.'What does it mean?

I had filed my taxes online with turbo tax about a month a go. and since I live abroad, I didn't have the option to 'e-file.' The service advised me to pay $40 in order for turbotax to mail it to IRS. it has been 1 month now and my status still says 'Ready to mail.' could someone tell me if my taxed will be mailed by turbo taxes or this means I had to mail to IRS myself. also, it's no possible to speak to a spcecialist. everytime I called, the machine would try to confuse me and wouldn't go through to a specialist. I am so frustrated. please help!
