Chinese New Year...

I know generally there's a 6-8 week or so lull in seeing new products introduced, but does anyone know if it effects shipping much from vendors like FT, Gearbest, etc?

During the Chinese festivals, things either slow down or grind to a halt.

IMHO, never order anything from China that you are not prepared to wait a good long time before actually arriving in your mailbox!

And you gotta figure there's going to be a huge backlog of orders.

surprisingly though over the weekend 1 order and 1 partial order shipped.
I messaged them today hoping to split 2 more orders as well so they can ship as they are ready to ship

I placed an order at FT 3 days ago, it has already shipped

Thanks for the responses everyone. I've ordered FT and Gearbest before(seems to me GB is usually a week or so faster) and know it's about a 3-4 week deal, I never ordered around this time of year before though. Income tax return is screaming rda/rdta clone bonanza lol.
