Chinese Companies OFF for about 1 month for Spring Festival

[laserlands]

Hi
Today is Jan 25, 2010. Feb. 13, 14 will be Chinese New Year Eve and New Year's Day. 10 days before and 15 days after the two days are usually holidays for Chinese people for family reunion, visiting relatives and "GUONIAN "BAINIAN". Businesses are usually off during this period. if anybody wants to order some lasers or other products from Chinese(including Hong Kong) websites or sellers in this period, I think first you'd better send a message to ask if they are off or not. and shipping time may be prolonged because the Spring Festival period is the busiest shipping season during a year in China and post office or express service workers will have more days off than unsual.
hope this thread will help a little
All my best
Merry

Thanks for the info. It sometimes takes a month for me to receive my items anyway. Two months would suck. I'll make sure I ask before ordering anything from HK.

WOW 25 days of holiday! That's what we need here.......
But we can't afford it because of taxes :-(

Wow! that's a looooong holiday! :yh: So i guess things will be back to normal around the end of February. I too was about to order something next month, oh well at least this gives me more time to save some more money . Hope there would be new products by March :yh:

Thank you a lot for this information Merry! I knew there were holidays some time in February but I was not sure when and for how long - I was putting off ordering some stuff so you just saved me from a lot of hassle!

My China connections say the length of "business closed" time varies, some are close for about 1 week or a little more, others are longer. -Glenn
