How to avoid logistical delays to your shipment during the Chinese New Year?

Hi All, Just to let you know, the third part of the series " Effects of the Chinese New Year on Suppliers & Importers " - How to avoid logistical delays to your shipment during the Chinese New Year? is finally out! You can read it here: http://www.thesourcingblog.com/avoid-logistical-delays-shipment-chinese-new-year/ In this part of the series on Chinese New Year, we look at the logistics situation in China during this period & how it impacts the entire supply chain, especially in regard to “delivery times” & “logistics costs”. Being aware of the logistics situation during this time of the year is important for importers not only because of delays to shipments but also because new importers are often surprised at the steep freight rate increases during this period. I know that some of you have already experienced the difficulties discussed so please feel free to share your experiences or ask any questions in the comment section or share the article and spread the knowledge. P.S. Watch out for the last part of this series which will be a checklist that importers can use to avoid issues on production, quality control, and logistics-related issues that were discussed on the first three parts of this series. Best Regards, Elizabeth
