Well, I made my orded at 2020/12/04 and no single mail after that, no code, nothing...  Confused

BUT about an hour later I received a notification from DHL now saying the "Shipment [is] on hold"

More waiting.  Undecided

The same thing happened for me, but the expected arrival date hasn't changed at all, so perhaps it will be a short-lived hold?


From reading the hold notice, I am guessing that DHL has the hold in place to fill a cargo plane my ETA appers to be Thursday


I also had a hold notice, which has just been updated to returning to shipper. I did have a ticket with DHL, I was waiting for a call back from a local DHL agent (after they had heard from DHL Hong Kong).
I called them just now and apparently the issue is the battery label was bent and needs to be repackaged. FFS

This new message from DHL is disturbing.  My package was returned to the shipper (Pine64) in Hong Kong:

Waybill: 9502905790

just a heads up: you should not include the Waybill number - it is all that is needed to alter final delivery instructions (day / signature or not / with a neighbour / leave in specific location etc). At the very least redact the last several digits.

Aside from needing to use a No.0 Phillips head driver to release the battery, the device is working nicely on Wifi. Plasma is much snappier after the ~1GB update, albeit not really on par with a modern big-brand smartphone (as expected). Haven't attempted to use modem yet.

Thank you to the Pine Team and community - very excited to see what I can do with this lovely new device.
Mine is yet to be ship . Was due 22nd but yet to be shipped I'm in n.s.w

I'm getting the same message, however when I phoned DHL up they told me that the shipper had requested the package back. No refund of handling charges nor VAT was mentioned.
#39
Me too - returned to shipper.

My phone was also returned to the shipper. I called DHL, and they said for whatever reason, the request was made from the shipper to be returned. So I think it's up to Pine64 to explain this.
