I am coming to think the "transit" country is Switzerland, and that it has been 10 days (so far) since the bulk shipment from Hong Kong arrived there. It would make sense for the bulk shipment to then be broken down there into "bundles" of phones for separate countries to be sent to the postal/delivery services used in the respective countries.
My overnight update from the USPS in the US had this tracking info:
"Origin Post is Preparing Shipment
We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece.
January 30, 2020, 9:10 am
Depart From Transit Office of Exchange
January 20, 2020, 9:36 am
Acceptance
SWITZERLAND"
And that seems corroborated by this latest update from Asendia's tracking:
"Jan 30, 2020 9:10 AM In transit GEVEVE 2 LETTERS TRANSIT"
I am guessing that "GEVEVE 2 LETTERS TRANSIT" is the notice(s) to the receiving delivery/postal service in the destination country? Further guessing that the 2 "letters" indicate that 2 phones are being sent to the US, one for me, and the other for APPDEV46 ;-)
So it seems that just now shipping batches per country are about to be sent out of the Switzerland "transit" hub - maybe even today (Swiss time).
That's my hope now...
