Who delivers SF Express packages in Germany?

SF Express hands off German deliveries primarily to DHL Paket (Deutsche Post) and DPD Germany.

Why does DHL say 'Die Sendung wurde elektronisch angekündigt' on my SF Express order?

The German DHL Paket label is created electronically when the parcel leaves China; DHL updates to 'Die Sendung wurde im Start-Paketzentrum bearbeitet' once the truck from Liège or Frankfurt unloads in Germany.
