DHL should call the day before you will receive delivery, at least in the US.

Hey! I'm in Brazil but my Avalon is going to U.S....

I put my Brazilian phone number at the Avalon shop and my friend's U.S. address...

Maybe am I going to face problems?

Tks!

Yes, your friend is going to be mining with your equipment! Shipping services usually only call if they are delivering something big, I don't think DHL has ever called me before...

DHL has called me before to tell me something's coming that requires a signature, but they didn't this time.

My phone number was printed on the shipping label, and also on the invoice.

I found out my tracking info by calling DHL.

You might also leave a signed and dated note posted for DHL asking them to plz leave the delivery.

Called regularly. I called every day for the last week until I finally got confirmation yesterday morning that there was a shipment for me.

Nice to see you got your information off them, What was your order in batch 1? or number like 19xx odd or something. Seems their still shipping batch 1 orders and not 100% for filled yet

Order 200000348. Also got order 200000402 which doesn't seem to have a shipment yet, but I'll be trying to call again in the morning for that one. Both were batch one, part two.

Any idea what kind of DHL delivery they're using? Express or otherwise? And what are they declared as? What was the origin point, Beijing?

At least for mine coming to the US, it's Express Worldwide shipping. Looks to be declared as "INDUSTRIAL CONTROLLER(ENG SAMPLE)". Origin point for this shipment was Hong Kong, most likely the intermediary that Avalon chose to use to avoid Chinese customs.

DHL Worldwide Express.

Declared as Industrial Controller (engineering sample).

Shipment appears to originate in Hong Kong, though the return address on the invoice shows a Beijing address.

Contingent on delays in customs (which I've been lead to believe is a few hours for United States delivery), it should be two-three days shipping time via DHL Express from Hong Kong to the United States (and probably Canada as well).
