For those who have their Macs on the current flight (CK203) were you able to work out the house bill number to use with the following link?

https://www.logistics.dhl/us-en/hom...tml?service=dhli&type=HBN&tracking-id=7CP2899

Tried figuring out myself but couldn't, if anyone could post the link that'll be great!
Nope. I have tried, more or less, all the numbers from 19th December to today (last working house bill number 7CP3705), and no luck. But since my DHL tracker status is "Shipment information received" instead of "Shipment notification sent" and "Shipment Entered Into System" I guess it won't be updated until the package is in Amsterdam, about 15:00 today.
 
ITS HAPPENING!

Preparing handover to final carrier

They say that too, for me IN THE APPLE TRACKING, not DHL...though the plane is still in the air... (see attached)
No change on DHL tracking... until they physically get the freight

(Sometimes I feel a bit dumb to track a plane like a kid would track Santa in the sky)
End of coffee break... go back to work, to pay the (Apple) bill

My Mac was shipped on Saturday so i'm quite sure that it's already on ground in Amsterdam and is currently on it's way to the DHL Hub

Still nothing on DHL apart from the initial label. I think its on the flight to Amsterdam currently though so hoping to see something after 3pm. Really hoping for a quick process through Amsterdam!
Even if the plane where your Mac is on is landing in Amsterdam today, you won't be seeing any DHL Express tracking updates yet because it hasn't passed through customs yet and some other things :p

mine was said to be shipped Saturday, but nothing flew until today... that is what DHL rep told to me
He assured that final carrying time from AMS should not exceed 2 days. So Friday is an conceivable option

Breaking news : LANDED !

And now, back to the studios (and to work ... :( )

Est. Delivery December 27, 2016
 
Anyone ordered this or last week?

It gives a 1-2 weeks delivery for all models except for the 460 4GB Radeon, which is 2-3 weeks.
 
no more on my side... :( they couldn't open the door of the B777 ?

@ocgirl : I am really sorry for you about the dongle issue, I hope it wont prevent you to receive your mac in the next coming days.

to all : don't forget the "lesson" : don't order accessories in the same order as your main item.
Do a spare order (like i did by luck)

Still no DHL Express Tracking Update

Apple Order Status is "Preparing handover to final carrier".
Nothing here as well.

DHL express tracking status is "Shipment information received" since Monday,

while

Apple Order Status is "Shipment dispatched", was "Shipment dispatched - Shipment on Schedule" yesterday, and before that (Monday) I got an SMS from Apple that they had sent my order.

Starting to get a bad feeling about this....

Don't worry about it :)

1. Shipped
The goods are ready to be picked up.

2. In transit to customer – shipment on schedule
It's sitting at the airport in Shanghai waiting to fly out.

3. Shipment dispatched
Your air cargo flight left.

4. In transit to customer – shipment on schedule
It is in AMS, but not cleared customs yet.

5. Preparing handover to final carrier
It's passed through customs, and is on its way to AMS DHL hub.

6. In transit to customer - shipment on schedule
Again, this time it is processed at DHL AMS and is waiting to fly out to your country - usually that night. DHL will give you your delivery estimate at this point, just go ahead and use the DHL tracking as it will be more accurate and have more info. It hasn’t yet left AMS.

7. In transit to destination country
It’s departed AMS and now moving along the DHL system from Amsterdam to Leipzig or Heathrow’s sort facility, and then continuing to the delivery facility where you live.

8. With courier
9. Delivered
