Question

Anyone else feeling the strains of Chinese New Year followed by this virus ? (no pun intended) We had stock orders placed early December to cover new year as normal but with everything. still nowhere near completion :( An unfortunate event we know can't be helped but does anyone have any news on any dates with it all? Feel a little in the dark as I'm sure alot of the factories do too!  

Answer 1

Been told they were coming back on the 10th, then today, but I don’t think it’s going to happen for a few weeks.

@gensmer744 I don’t think it is, I’m sure everything is on hold right now

@gensmer744 Unfortunately no

---

@gensmer744 Have you got many orders to fulfill?  

---

@gensmer744 Oh really? I may have to look into that. Hm, let’s just hope this situation improves fast. At the moment though, it doesn’t look like it is.

@gensmer744 Exactly! Haha

Answer 2

I’ve seen multiple supplier post that they are returning to business next week.

Answer 3

My assistant said they were allowed back in/around the area on the 10th. Sure it depends where though.

@gensmer744 as far as I know she sent me a small package this last week. I kind of hear it secondhand though. I’m almost afraid to open the package lol.  

Answer 4

I have a couple of factories open and others coming back later this week, although sub contract suppliers are still very patchy as well. Basically, it’s hope for the best plan for the worst atm. Next challenge will be shipping space because the schedules are all messed up now too.  

Answer 5

My main factory is based in Zhejiang and were supposed to get back to work on the 10th but couldn't because of the restrictions. For now, they told me that they have applied for government permit to start operating again but they dont know how soon will that happen. My other supplier is based out of Shenzhen and they too do not have an ETA yet.
