    So we all know the Chinese New Year is nearly here and things come to a standstill in China for vendors and workers.

    But I was wondering about the postal service.
    Say something just got shipped the last few days, does it mean it won't get out of China until the holiday is over or will it get shipped out of China during the holiday?

    Hmmm, presumably, China Post will work (albeit at a reduced efficiency) on days that are not public holidays or weekends. However, during this time, everyone tries to use their vacation days at the beginning/end of the public holidays to maximize time off...and China Post employees will do the same so I expect only a reduced (skeleton) staff to be handling the mail.

    As for the SingPost or other shipping options that we use, I don't think that China Post touches this stuff...probably goes by private carrier from China to SG and then enters the postal system there...the private carriers are bound to be taking time off, particularly since their 'shippers' will be on holiday, too.

    It is allready a prob here in china with the delivery, so I will exspect that it will also be to overseas. If your parcel get to the shipping company it will be OK, but the prob is getting it from the seller and to the shipping company. I have had a parcel sitting 3 days now 200 km from where i live, because most of these delivery guys are migrant workers and they have gone back to hometown many of them.

    I have already stopped using FT, the shipping time is simply to variable and most of the time, to long for me. Made my first order from CVapor with the pre-order Istick, and it will probably be the last from there too, it drags out and if goes over this holiday time, I will not be interested.
    I will make my shopping locally or from Europe from now on. I may be to impatience, but that's me :)

    Jon. Cvapor are usually very quick delivering, but they have a problem updating orders. 2 days ago i contacted the boss there, because my order have shown processing for 4 days and while she was checking this order it was delivered to my door, so big problems with order updates.

    contact mia on skype her user is gracemia2 she will make it right for you.

    @flem is the guy to talk to as he lives in China but I cannot see any problem as 95% of the worlds vape gear is made there.

    Spliff. No problem at all. I often travel overseas and allways have my regulated and mec mods plus juice with me they have never said anything about it going out of china or into china. I always carry the regulated mods and batteries , plus a tank with juice in it, so i can get a vape in the airport... in my hand luggage and the rest in my ordinary luggage.
