The DHL Thread

<p>I've seen a lot of references to the "DHL method," where you call DHL to determine if you have a package on the way (the idea being that acceptances are mailed via DHL, while rejections are sent using USPS).</p>

<p>So, post here if you have information or questions regarding this, especially if you know the phone number to track packages.</p>

<p>If you don't already have a tracking number, I think you'll need the zip code of the place of shipping.</p>

<p>Columbia University</p>

<p>Office of Undergraduate Admissions
1130 Amsterdam Avenue, MC 2807
New York, NY 10027</p>

<p>My daughter called home to say it is a beautiful day in New York and lots of people are sitting out reading and watching the admissions people celebrate as they load the DHL truck...so it is definitely DHL this year. Good luck to all of you.</p>

<p>I called DHL and they said that if the package was picked up today, the tracking number will not likely show up until 8PM in their system.</p>

<p>I guess we'll just have to wait until tomorrow.</p>

<p>Omg I have no dhl packages from the US =( that's like 4 rejections =S sigh...that's depressing.</p>

<p>How did you check? Did you call them? What number did you call? And do we need a reference number?</p>

<p>I jsut called customer service, the guy said if i had no tracking no. he could check if I have them my name...</p>

<p>I'm trying to use the DHL tracking website, but I don't have the tracking or the ref number, <em>sob</em></p>

<p>The site won't work,you'll have to call the customer service.</p>

<p>That does not mean anything. The ivys each use different methods of sending the packages. Columbia is using DHL. Some use FedEx, and some use USPS priority mail</p>

<p>I wonder if Columbia send it next day or two day business</p>

<p>Did anyone else call DHL?</p>

<p>Are you sure? All DHL packages are loaded into the system till midnight.</p>

<p>Well, have you tried?</p>

<p>No, I haven't applied to Columbia(:p)</p>

<p>Oh... kk, ^^</p>

<p>I tried. The DHL customer service rep checked anything in the system from Monday to present...........................and there's nothing from that Zip Code coming to my Zip Code for whatever that's worth.</p>

<p>Are all notifications sent DHL or only acceptances?</p>
