Mine arrived today. Sure enough, from Frankfurt. So I make it 20 calendar days, or 15 work days. (The above-referenced Friday was 1st July)
If I had to make a guess, DHL takes all their standard mail stuff destined for Australia from the US to Frankfurt on their own network (presumably that's a route that has spare capacity) and then dumps it into the postal system from there. Maybe Germany has particularly cheap international postage?
