How has your DHL shipping been during COVID-19? Any delays?

That is actually a good point. There probably is a lot more coming in. I am sure you are right.

I am in CONUS- Chicago. So at least right near a major hub, but it has to get here first, haha.

-Still waiting on one MTM purchase from Singapore. (All updates below are from Singpost.com)
15-04-2020 Shipped
25-04-2020 Arrived in US at destination port. This is the last update. (37 Days)
Still waiting

Ordered a watch from Ryan @ InTime (Shipped through 4px?)
30-04-2020 Shipped
15-05-2020 Received (16 Days?)



Just received my MTM purchase. 46 days in U.S. Customs. That was crazy long, but glad it showed up.

This is not concerning DHL but in France right now it looks like the french post office applies a sort of quarantine to deliveries. Several members indicated that the tracking of their parcel stopped for about 14 days from the moment their parcel arrived on French soil.

For my part I have one M2M shipment from France to EU and one parcel that I'm waiting from the UK (triangle shipping).
  • The parcel I sent was stuck in french post office during exactly 15 days before starting its journey to its destination. After that the tracking worked normally and showed no extra delay for the next steps.
  • The parcel which I'm waiting made its journey from China to UK in 10 days. It traveled through the Channel in 2 days. Now it is stuck at the french international sorting hub of the main Paris airport for one week and no news whatsoever.

10 days sitting in "Shipment information received" with DHL. It’s def slower than normal. Is what it is. Patience is the name of the game

80 days, sneaked into Taiwan from China where it sat for 76 days, then it went back to HK, then Germany, then UK.

For DHL, long delay on picking up the shipment (limited outgoing flight) but once picked up, it has reached US within 2 days. This has been my experience with 4 parcels received in the last month.

Strangely it seems there are many delays now that on the peak of pandemic and lockdown situations. I’m on my 12 day of waiting but the package is still waiting. Andrew says it will try to sort up some stuff but idk

Got two packages awaiting pickup... one for 5 days, one just went 'awaiting pickup' today.

I'm guessing that things will sit at least for the weekend as it's festival time again... Dragon Boat festial weekend.

Why? It's not there fault, it's the delivery supplier.

Multiple dealers have told me there is 100% inspection rate on packets. That along with severe shortages in flight (not mentioning prices sky rocketed) it's a situation we have to deal with.

Patience has always been part of this hobby.

As I said I waited 80 days, but I'd rather wait at this time and give priority to medical goods and necessary items which is what they have been doing then blame the dealer.

The issue is with DHL and not the TDs. I had another shipment (not watches) just arrived on 22nd June after waiting for 3 weeks.

The problem is that i can't wait too long, i told him, cause at the end of July i'll leave that address and this city

DHL has issued a report on the change in functionality due to the beginning of the spread of covid -19. Here are some examples. Logistics specialists will be more guided not by cost, but by the sustainability of supplies; Changes in consumer behavior will require the adaptation of transport flows and warehouse networks; New working rules will radically change existing processes and create an impetus for initiatives in the field of digitalization and automation. The pulse remains that you can also track your order using https://www.postsendungsverfolgung.com/de/.
