Guys a quick update. Two days ago Apple showed sent with exp delivery on 27/11 (the end of the initial est range of 20-27/11), DHL said shipment info received in Eindhoven (weird. Delivery address should be The Hague). Today Apple’s website changed to sent, on the way to customer, on track, still est delivery 27/11, DHL still shipment info received only. Anyone knows I can suddenly expect to see Apple bringing forward the final delivery date from 27/11?? :) it can’t take 2 weeks to send by plane from China to europe right
Only the shipment information was received in Eindhoven, no matter where the destination is. Wait for the next stept which will probably say something like 'shipment picked up' or 'processed at amsterdam'. So far nobody with shipment information from Monday on has seen any change yet

It certainly has nothing to do with money, that's for sure. Apple already charged my credit card and sent me the invoice. But DHL remains stuck at the infamous "Eindhoven" stage.
Mine is stuck at Eindhoven as well from the 13th of November... wait, wait, wait... when will it go to the next stage of tracking so the we can actually see something moving?

As far as I understood, with DHL Express it works this way:

1) Apple says that the iPhone has been shipped and gives you a tracking number.
2) If you check on the DHL website, the only thing you see is: "Shipment information received EINDHOVEN - NETHERLANDS, THE".
3) This will remain the same no matter what until your iPhone has reached Europe. This can be, based on other users' experience, around 4-5 days. During this time, Apple gives you an extremely conservative delivery date, usually corresponding to the end of the original delivery estimation.
4) When the iPhone reaches Europe, the DHL tracking starts working as it should, with all the steps and a reliable estimated delivery date, that will be 1-2 days later.
5) The total from shipping to delivery should be around 1 week.

Now, since in my case the shipping confirmation was on Monday, I expect (hope) a change on the DHL website tomorrow and a delivery next Monday. Let's see...

Do you (guys in the thread) think that I can expect a delivery tomorrow if I live in Amsterdam?
Just to know if I Work From Home tomorrow :)
If it changed already, don't see the estimate date in the right upper corner?

In my case it's still "The Estimated Delivery Date is currently unavailable. Please try again later".

I'm also trying to understand if I should work from home tomorrow. Amsterdam-Bremen is just 360 km. :D

Yes - mine is processed as well in Amsterdam today on the DHL tracking website. The 13th was the first notification date. Hopefully tomorrow?!?!?!

So the conclusion seems to be, 3-5 days from shipment info received to shipment picked up/ processed in Amsterdam, and then 1 more day to final delivery? :)

Germany: Ordered on 10/27, 9.10-9.15, got 11/21-11/28 windows. Still the same, nothing changed until now.

Update: Shipped on 11/13, estimated delivery 11/28.

Right after the shipment notification, the estimated delivery slipped to the 16th - and tell you what, it arrived today! I'm thrilled, it is really a great phone, hope you all get yours soon!!
