I believe so - but if you get movement around 6-9am tomorrow on your DHL Express tracking number, then it was definitely that flight. It will get processed by around 5-6pm later in the day though based off previous logs.
As in my tracking number should start working on the DHL system tomorrow morning if it was on that flight? What do you mean by processed, sent on to the next stage of delivery?

It means it's finally made its way to DHL's hub in Amsterdam (after clearing customs etc).

There's many more steps between the cargo flight landing, and this happening.

You can check the ETA for delivery to the Origin Service Area on the housebill tracking. Here's an example that was delivered (a lot of the users in this thread were on this shipment, which is why they were flipping out that it took until Monday 21st for their DHL tracking to show movement): https://www.logistics.dhl/us-en/hom...tml?service=dhli&type=HBN&tracking-id=7CP2825

Does anyone know if my tbMacBook Pro 15", ordered 29th 7:35 CET, recieved shipment dispatched mail today at 7:12 CET, dhl tracking isn't working, is already on a plane on its way to Amsterdam?
Unfortunately i dont have a dhl housebill number.
Thanks for your help :)

I think you're on a different carrier. 7CP2899, flight CA 1033, leaving in about an hour and arriving at your DHL hub by Friday 6pm. What's Apple given you for an ETA? Something like 29th/30th?

29th. Do you think it will take until 29th to arrive in Münster, Germany, or is it possible that it will already arrive on 28th?
 
When your Apple tracking says "Shipment dispatched", then it's on the plane.

Can you just make a thread detailing all this information? :)

Mine is scheduled for delivery on the 30th. Tracking on Apple's site currently reads "In Transit to Customer- Shipment on Schedule". I had a dispatch notification at 6:15 this morning. And DHL tracking still isn't working.

Now if I feed you all that information, what comes back?
 
It says "Bestellung versendet" which i think corresponds to "Shipment Dispatched"?!

Not exactly - "Bestellung versendet (Order shipped)" is an Apple status, and it won't change until you see "Geliefert", a few hours after you actually receive your MBP. "Lieferung versandt" is what you want, and that's a DHL Express status. If you can't click on the DHL tracking button on the Apple order page, then you're back of the queue and your goods are not on any plane yet, sorry.

It's not on a plane yet, but it's waiting to get (or has got) a manifest for carriage, and its just going to wait until the next scheduled flight. It's been picked from the warehouse and is waiting at in Shanghai to leave on the booked cargo flight. Probably within the next 24 hrs: CZ453 or CA1033. Probably travelling with waybill 7CP2899.

*All speculation and educated guessing here of course. When one of those two scheduled cargo flights leaves, you should see Apple say "Shipment dispatched". The "estimate delivery date" that Apple's showing you is going to be pretty close to the day you get it if all runs smoothly.

Mine looks exactly the same, it says "Lieferung versandt" except the "Voraussichtliche Liefertermin" that says 29th.
So you think it is already on a plane or the plane will leave in an hour?

Awesome, I was playing with some of the suggestions you made earlier about incrementing the number but wasn't working until you suggested it. Speculation or not, you have a gift sir.

In that case, yeah you could be on CA1033 or already in the air on CZ 453. I would assume CA1033 though. Check later to see if you get a new ETA.
 
I was watching CZ453 fly, but now I'm looking at the cities deep in Syberia on maps and street view. Some of them are quite otherwordly to me for some reason.

How can I check this? I got the tracking number for DHL this morning, how can I see the flight?
Thanks

Im in the same position as you; given an estimated date on apple website of 28th November but dhl website update today to tell me it should be coming on 24th November instead. Weirdly, my estimated delivery date on apple website updated to the 22nd of November which was yesterday?????

What site are you watching it on? I think mine is on that flight. Had no idea you could track planes like this until this thread, kind of interesting in a super nerdy way :cool:
