When DX says shipped, it usually means that your order has been picked up by the Hong Kong post office, and they can take anything upto a week to ship your order, then once shipped by them you will be giving a tracking number.
My experience is the exact opposite.
Most of the wait is always on DX processing (order received, in progress), waiting for suppliers or packaging. The HK post office seems to work really well to Australia at least.
When the tracking number/link is first provided, if I get it early the link does not work. Later the item is 'being processed for delivery to destination' then sent within a day.
somerandomguyO_O: Was your order over $15 US? If not then you will not get a tracking number as it will be sent via unregistered mail. This takes longer and is not trackable.
