36X Day 2 here just changed status to "Shipped" its a pickup so I guess they have to now ship it to their office where it can be picked up from as I imagine they don't want ppl having around the factory.
just a note my 304x unit just got the tracking number like 2hrs ago it is showing DHL tomorrow (Friday) i'd call if DHL and set things up at least they can give you the DAY it arrives from this number 1-800-225-5345 er again the tracking number shows Brussels calling the number and a live person told me it would arrive tomorrow ..(I was shocked) just so you are warned!
anyway the point of this is it took 2 1/2 days to go from Sweden to the Midwest usa...so jump on the DHL tracking when you get the number imho

My Mercury is, according to DHL, in Brussels since 1:44AM, processed in Brussels at 11:15AM. Calling I found I can expect delivery tomorrow by end of the business day.
DHL instead of UPS, not sure if that's good or bad. Is your Mercury going to the USA? I can't imagine mine getting to me tomorrow from Brussels...

This is what the guy said at DHL when I gave him my Brussels tracking number (1-800-225-5345) ...maybe it is scanned in Brussels goes on a plane and is not scanned again till it hits the truck to ship it to me ..no idea..but he said between 10am and 8pm tomorrow Friday 10/17/2013 (maybe Brussels is code for "teleport'

DHL will scan at each stop. once it is off the plane, and arrives in OH (hub) it will get scanned.
they would have transmitted the customs info electronically and as long as the declared value is under 2K, it will clear automatically (barring any ad hoc checks)
now, if it is declared at over 2K, expect to go through form filling out and pay an import fee...
I received my unit via UPS and there was no invoice attached to the package, so I'm not sure how they are utilizing DHL, but DHL is better for international shipments, especially from overseas.
Do use the auto-notify tool on DHL's website and sign up for email and SMS notifications. sometimes, SMS is the first notification to arrive when there's a status change. website isn't reflective of the status change as fast as SMS notifications from DHL... Hope this helps. any question regarding DHL, please ask me (PM would be good) as I may miss a posted question here...
