DHL package delay in Hong Kong

[bumbum520]

My parcel from 17th start....but just 1 of 4 cartons of this parcel....
If enter in DHL china, and track the parcels, will show how many cartons on the way

What is making things worse I believe is the riot / demonstration happening in Hong Kong right now. Thousands of protesters are shutting the roads down by standing in the streets.

This is preventing workers, like the custom workers at the checking facilities in DHL, etc... from getting to work and getting our packages moving.

Then after this, the long holiday in China is approaching...

Really bad situation.

My order was shipped September 20, and it was stuck at Shipment information received.
Today, September 29, it finally updated to Shipment picked up 04:56 PM.

Do you think I'll receive my package within two days? I live in Norway.

I know, you was spot on with your estimated day

Has yours from the 20th updated yet?

[deebee80]

Nope one from 20th still not moved. Other one is here now though, supplier used a different agent.

I certainly hope so... shipper thinks before the holiday there form 1st so fingers crossed!

I have 3 shipments ongoing. First was sent out 14th September, 2nd shipment was sent out 19th September, none of them are picked up by DHL yet.
3rd shipment was sent by EUEXP, sent out 25th September goes via UK.
Little more expensive and little longer lead time, but it will not have any problems with customs, and they say I don't have to pay any tax or similar fees.

My order That was shipped on the 17th finally updated last night. Already in the states. Should be here by Tomorrow or Wednesday

[Only lay]

my original package from the 13th has finally been cleared and processed after clearance delay of 2 weeks. So now I'm getting 2 packages since my supplier sent another one. Hope everyone else is getting good news!

Hi Everyone. An Order that I placed on September 19th finally got picked up today from DHL, and is now progressing through the system. Will give a further Tracking updates later on.

[Nihao]

Good to see that many parcels are moving, but not mine... yet.
Last working day in China and HK tomorrow.
I guess this will be one of the most critical days during this year.
After tomorrow the silence week begins.
I keep my fingers crossed for everyone during tomorrow.

I find it incredible the amount of holidays China has every year. You always hear propaganda about how the Chinese people are slaving away everyday of the year and never have a day off, but they seem to get much more time off than Europeans and Americans. (At least in the UK media)

I can't believe they just go into stand still when they have their holidays. It seems nothing moves. It's bad enough having a bank holiday in the UK, let alone a whole week every few months which it seems to be.

I hope everyone gets their packages soon. I'm waiting for mine via EMS, which sadly takes a long time to get here too.

If I could thank you a million times I would! But I only have one thank button, lol

[eBay King]

Yes, they have too many bl**dy holidays.

The UK or USA do not have this many holidays.

Still shipment info received with mine, shipped from 13th, moved date to 28th. Hope it can hurry for today last day before holiday. Don't want to wait another week. Getting frustrating!

Mine is still showing " Shipment Information Received" also from the 13th! No batteries, or brand items. Just cheap phone cases off brand.

It's afternoon now in Asia, guess we'll wait for one week again after holiday's end. But still fingers crossed. I know DHL works even in midnight.

Finally my shipment from 19th got picked up today ..

[Univerzal]

Any news anyone?

[natbabes]

My parcel arrived today, it was shipped on the 17th & stuck on shipment information received until the 29th of September so it took a day to get here after it was picked up, crazy fast!

I'm going to wait until after the Chinese holiday now to order again.
