How long does an item stay on the shipment acknowledged part of tracking with dhl?

Question

I ordered something on monday and it is now wedensday and when I go to track my order on dhl's website it has said "shipment acknowledged" for 2 days now. How long does it usually stay like this before it changes and if it is on shipment acknowledged does that mean they have started to ship it or not?

Answer 1

That normally means that the package has been payed for, or the label has been printed. As for how long it takes, its really up to the shipper, whenever they scheduled a pickup. I have had to wait over a week before DHL came and got it. Also it depends on where the pickup location is. If it is in some remote place, it might be a while before DHL can get out there.

Hope this helps!
