    Should really take less than 12 hours.

    I can get overnight from Germany, takes 22 hours.

    Did you not get the DHL tracking number?

    Planes leave East midlands airport somewhere around midight to 4am, usually with DHL depot by 5/6am, then out on delivery from 7am onwards.

    NOTE: There has been some issue with overnight shipments from East Midlands this week.

    I did get a tracking number. It says it has left the Reading depot a few hours ago.

    it goes back to the dhl depot in ballymount.

    also how fast your parcel comes depends on what service the shipper used.

    i think standard is 48hours and express is 24hour.

    Depends on the package instructions. Sometimes you can get a sound driver that will bend the rules a bit and give a package to a neighbor, sometimes you just miss delivery and reschedule it with them for when you're home.

    Cheers for help.

    If you ring DHL on 1890 725 725 they usually let you redirect to an alternate address. I think.
