Happy Chinese New Year!

February 9th is the Chinese New Year.

It's important when doing business with clients all over the world to try to remember the major world holidays, especially when it comes to shipping. Many offices in China, and Chinese territories, have closed for their days long New Year celebration. This may cause some delays with deliveries.

FedEx recommends that you try to make sure all shipments arrive by February 9. If you weren't able to have your package delivered by February 9, don't worry. Many offices have their packages being held at their local FedEx station and these packages will be delivered once the offices reopen.

In the meantime, be patient and celebrate the Year of the Rooster.

I think I am a Bull in the Zodiac and a Bull in the Chinese astrological realm as well. So you would think these delays would bother me, but they don't.
To all my Chinese friends out there I say "Happy New Year!"
Do you know when they are likely to return to work?
