Plus most of the stuff unless it just came out in the last day will already be sitting in a center here.  

Answer 4

This is not a real issue, the virus is only spread by humans not equipment

Answer 5

This isn't some super bug that can live outside the host for days/weeks. It'll be ok lol.

@cuccuckold Most shipment from China goes by sea freight so 48 hrs is less than half of the journey’s time. Delays may come more from a knee jerk reaction from US Customs and holding package in quarantine.  

---

@cuccuckold on an ideal surface at room temp, up to 48 hours. Definitely won't be a factor for shipping packages.  

Answer 6

It’s still new year’s holidays going on in China right now. I’m waiting for a automobile headend to be shipped. They don’t except to be back to work until February 5th.  

Comments

Many facilities are extending that to the 10th now. I don't blame them. We have schools here shutting down because of flu outbreaks. It is all about trying to slow the local spread.  

Answer 7

Since people can't grasp this. The issue is not a worry about the virus being on packages when they get here. The issue is the workers in the shipping facility spreading amongst themselves. But I get it. You want to have your product now. Screw their health concerns.  

Comments

@cuccuckold so you are trying to save those poor workers from the job that feeds their family?  

---

Wow. Another dense one. Good riddance.  

---

I would like them to not get sick and possibly, I don't know. DIE. But hey, I have the flu right now. Maybe I should just keep going to work.  

Answer 8

For Gods sake don't pop the bubble wrap, you don't know were that air comes from

Answer 9

It would be pretty cool if we could not spread falsehoods and fear.  

Answer 10

Ewww. I sure don’t want coronavirus spreading through my smart home network. I’m not buying anything from China. ‍♂️

What Antivirus software do you use? Lol

Answer 11

Since the electronics manufacturing is done in Schenzen not Wuhan I really don't see an issue with shipping from China. The two cities are hundreds of miles apart.  

Answer 12

I got a phone call from China the other day. could I be infected? Should I quarantine myself?  

Answer 13

China has extended the new year shutdown until 10 of February. Most companies already anticipated a buffer stock due to Chinese new year. Most don't see a problem yet but are monitoring the issue. Don't forget that a lot of Chinese companies also have factories in Vietnam, Thailand etc. Its not always in China.

@palmer142 only a few cities are locked down. Talk to people there everyday business as normal no delays after feb 10th like normal. Shenzen and the main places things are made and shipped from are not under lock down.  

Answer 14

My fiber modem is from Huawei and i've got sonoff switches everywhere so i'm probably already f*cked.  

Answer 15

Answer 16

Total bullshit, I have 2 40ft containers coming feb 10th only a few cities are under lock down and they aren't the ones shit gets shipped out of. I talk to my china vendors every day. It's fine everything is expected to be fine. They even sent me updated photos of the shipping container being put together even though they are holiday they are sneaking and getting some stuff ready.
