DHL does do tracking, however it only tells you which drop the driver is on, and which you are, there's no GPS data like DPD offer.
I also had a DHL delivery the other day and it was very slow to update the drivers location, and he then delivered 30 mins before my window while the tracking showed him as 25 drops away.
So in summary, DHL don't offer tracking. HTH.

Shipped here too and thankfully with DPD again as they seem to get to me earlier than DHL.
Not feeling the wait period so much this year though. I mean the phone will be great and all, but i miss the days of seeing it update bit by bit over the week. In recent years its just the same. Order on the Friday, doesn't really do anything til Thursday, then arrives Friday. I mean its great, it works and i get it on time, but in a weird way i kind of miss the jeopardy of more detailed tracking or it selling out instantly meaning another route to purchase was required like refreshing the apple store at 6am to see if there were collection slots or queuing on the day etc. I guess this year I had the 'fun' of my initial Apple Pay payment being declined.
I've enjoyed reading all the comments on here though :) part of the fun that doesn't change!
 
Well I have despatch from Apple and tracking just takes me to Syncreon

Manage delivery on Syncreon takes me to DHL Tracking with no current details.

If it's like mine, the Synrcreon link isn't correctly parsing the details to the DHL tracking page.
If you lift the reference from the hyperlink on the Syncreon page you can manually input it on the DHL site, although unlikely to get anything back yet until DHL have collected it from Hinkley.

Apparently you can't upgrade if you ordered from Apple, limited to carrier orders or potentially other sellers (JL etc.).

That’s a bummer. Hopes to upgrade to ore 10.30. Have to wait all day as DPD doesn’t come round my way till late afternoon.

This. There is little point in notionally providing any tracking if they can’t keep to their time slots or update the delivery counter on time. I have also yet to ever receive a ‘next stop’ notification from them despite always asking for it.

That means UK Mail (DHL). There is a way to track also via DHL....... but I can never remember what you put in as tracking number! Anyone?

Doesn't look like its being updated until they have the product...... Takes me to DHL and still nothing there yet, you can sometimes use the Apple number or reference from Syncreon in the consignment order number
 
Apple Dispatch email - with DHL so no wonder I saw nothing from DPD!

Kinda bummed it’s DHL as they once lied about a failed delivery attempt for my Sonos Sub. Then when calling their customer helpline they were useless and also charged an insane connection fee!
