📦 Impact on Procurement and Shipping
During the Chinese New Year holidays, most parts of the supply chain will experience significant delays or shutdowns. Here’s how it may affect your procurement and shipping plans:
- 🏬 Market Exhibitions Closed: Most booths and warehouses will be closed for the entire holiday period.
- 🏭 Factory Shutdowns: Most factories will suspend production during this time, and orders can only be fulfilled after the holiday period.
- 🚚 Logistics Delays: Warehousing, shipping, and customs services will be significantly slowed down.
To ensure your orders are fulfilled before the holiday season, we recommend placing orders by mid-January, as shipping and production will be disrupted during the Chinese New Year. If you need to secure products or arrange for shipments, please do so well in advance to avoid delays.
