Wait Times DHL Shipping wait times

Thanks for dropping in I'm in the US, I'm expecting a package from Germany and it is being shipped via DHL. The sender is a member of DoA and not affiliated with any company. This has been a marketplace transaction. I have not before had any items shipped by DHL and I am curious about how long an expected wait time with them should be. My item was shipped around the 15th of October and I am hoping it will be arriving soon but I thought I'd ask about how long others have waited for items going a similar distance. I have tracking on my package and it does not say whether it has reached customs here or anything more than the item is in transit to the destination country. I'd love to hear from anyone in the US who has waited on a package via DHL from other countries. I'm just anxious to get my baby so I'm hoping to get some advice to calm my nerves Thanks so much for reading and if you can offer any insight I would be glad to hear it

 

Hi Thank you for commenting! How long ago was this and was your package shipped by a certain method of DHL? I'm not sure exactly whether my method was the least expensive or what so perhaps that might make the wait time longer for me.

Also, does anyone know whether the riots and strikes in France would affect mail travel from Germany as of two weeks ago? This may also be an issue for my package. I'm really nervous and would love to chat more about this..

 

Thank you again for your help and information. I'm hoping then that these two weeks passing might just be customs related. Its a curious thing to me that you had only waited 5 days to receive your dolls considering Japan is further away than Germany. I just wish my tracking would be a bit more detailed and explain where my baby is right now

 

I am tracking my package at www.dhl.de and it tells me very little else besides my package is in transit to the destination country. When I put in my tracking number at the track and trace website it told me my item did not exist. I also attempted to track it with the USPS website and nothing came up. Am I doing something incorrectly?

 

Thank you again for your help. I tried tracking it at DHL.com and it claims I have an invalid tracking number.. I've emailed them so I hope to hear back soon. I'm really beside myself.. This is very upsetting and I am only growing more anxious and frustrated. I just hate not knowing where it is and what's going on. I really hope someone at DHL can give me some solid information. I'll post here again if there is any news. For now I'm trying not to get more worked up but it is quite difficult. Thank you again for the continued support!

 

Thank you so much, $abbatha! I did in fact receive my little one shortly after I wrote all of this and the sender was a gem the whole time I suppose it was one of those things where as soon as I started really freaking out things would fall into place^^; The mail man was too funny.. He knocked in time to the "shave and a haircut, two bits" song and I came running. Nearly knocked the poor guy down I was so excited It was frustrating that when I called the US DHL they couldn't help me and that I had no realistic way to speak to the German side of DHL. The wonderful seller I worked with promised to get to the bottom of things the next day but she didn't end up needing to at all I would definitely still recommend DHL as it is a great carrier but it can be frustrating when you're waiting for a package from overseas. Thank you so much again to all who posted here and for your advice!

 

Yes, that would have been awesome! Ah well, I feel like this was a message to me from the universe.. It probably went something like: "Calm the heck down and have a little faith that things will work out." I'm glad you were here to help me though. Everyone really helped! Thank you so much! He is now on the way for a new faceup and a bit of other work. I'll have to make sure and show you when he comes home!
