Yeah, DHL's tracking is kind of screwy. I later found that if you click on the NZ Post tracking number, you get more detail on their tracking page.

Please be aware that this is NOT the DHL courier service with courier level tracking. It is DHL Global Mail service which hands off to various other local postal carriers.
You don't always get end-end delivery notice or precise location or status tracking.

thanks for using this service, I think this is the best way. I was a bit scared at first thinking that dhl was going to know on my door, but luckily it's the local postal service instead.
dhl, ups, fedex, etc, is just a mess when delivering to home addresses, and even worse if I get them to deliver to my company/work address, since then, my company will receive the tax bills..
DHL and custom clearance give me the creeps.
Their local office for customs handling here is probably the last to go to if you need something off the customs.

Unfortunately I ship to over 150 countries, and each one has their own customs requirements.
Its is literally impossible to find a service that works well in every country.

Their local office for customs handling here is probably the last to go to if you need something off the customs. I've even heard from other people stories where they would go into the customs procedure w/o an authorization from the recipient (they need to ask you who do you want to handle the clearance) and then charge you nicely for the services (a friend recently refused to accept a package as they wanted to charge 30eur for services only, for something that was also in that price range). And they would ask you for documents no other forwarder would ask, under the justification that the Customs needs it.
Transport wise they are great, but if I have anything that might catch the customs officer's eye I don't want them.

Standard parcel post Dave, as you used before.
DHL, UPS etc in recent times are not worth the hassle, with their extra charges, paperwork and excess taxes etc.

DHL Global Mail is NOT like regular DHL courier.
And I can assure you it is far less hassle, is lower in cost, and has less paperwork.
Mine got tracking info like this:
http://webtrack.dhlglobalmail.com/?trackingnumber=AUBCN000913056
Got silent the morning 26. april, but the right hand side got updated with new trackingnumber: RX569451927DE wich is the local post, and I got update yesterday
https://sporing.posten.no/sporing.html?q=RX569451927DE&lang=en
and picked it today.
So I think the dhl global mail tracks through dhl from australia to the last sorting hub where it's handed over to the local postal service, so I would guess you would find local trackingnumber on the page like I did.
I was expecting the DHL tracking page to replace the NZ Post tracking number/link with one for USPS (or append it), but that hasn't happened. Since these have already been delivered to Colorado and Florida, I'm a bit worried as I'm in California, i.e., the same state it arrived in on April 26. But it could just show up any day now.

Mine was transferred from DHL to NZ Post in Auckland this morning and now appears to be on some airline flight, hopefully to the US. I guess that some system determined that to be a good route rather than having DHL transport it to the US.
DHL Global Mail from Australia use Air NZ flights I believe.
Another one arrived in North Carolina today. In case anyone has not mentioned it, the NZ Post code works in the USPS tracking system.
