twib2, what was your order date and roughly what area of the world are you in?
Sure, no problem. I was a 6 Jan order, but one of the later ones (look for "Dr Tye" in OP). I'm east coast USA, and my package went through Cincinnati, OH, only spending a night there. Basically, the waybill only shows 2 days in DHL hands, starting at 01:16am, which seems crazy. I know some time was spent getting it from PRC to HK via another service, too.
Here's the portion of the transit log up until Cincinnati, from there it was 9 more hours and just three updates to my house, including airport arrival, delivery route, and signature at 14:47 local time.
