National Holiday Notice
Quick Overview
Chinese New Year is approaching, and during this time, factories, markets, and logistics across China experience slowdowns or temporary closures.
Key dates to consider for planning your orders:
-
Silicone focal bead supply will start pausing from January 30.
-
Yiwu market will close on February 6.
-
Our company will observe holidays from February 13 to February 24, but order preparation will stop on February 10. Gradual restocking will resume from March 3 onward.
Orders placed closer to these dates are more likely to face delays or limited availability, while orders placed well in advance are less likely to be affected.
For more details on how these dates may impact your orders, please read on.
Detailed Information (Optional)
Chinese New Year is China’s largest annual holiday. During this period, markets close, factories pause production, logistics slow down or stop, and backlogs form quickly. This is an annual and expected occurrence.
The dates above are significant because supply, sourcing, and fulfillment are impacted in stages:
-
After January 30, certain supplies, particularly silicone focal beads, begin to pause at the source.
-
After February 6, even though our team continues customer service until February 13 and order preparation stops on February 10, some items sourced from Yiwu may no longer be available due to the market closure.
-
Between February 13 and February 24, our company will be on full holiday, with order processing, procurement, and fulfillment paused. After the holiday, operations resume gradually. Factories, logistics providers, and customs require time to clear accumulated backlogs, so delays may persist for a period even after we officially resume.
Implications for You
Placing orders earlier ensures smoother fulfillment. Orders placed closer to the holiday period are at higher risk of delays or limited stock. Planning ahead and stocking items you consistently sell can help reduce disruption.
Customer Service
If you contact us during the holiday and don’t receive an immediate response, rest assured we will reply once operations resume.
Your orders and payments remain secure, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding during this annual season.
