The festive season is fast approaching in Asia. Consequently, businesses worldwide must prepare for significant shifts in global logistics. At Flocargo, we prioritize keeping your supply chain moving smoothly. Therefore, we are sharing vital updates regarding Chinese New Year shipping to help you plan effectively.
Operational Schedule for February 2026
The official holiday period runs from the 14th to the 28th of February 2026. This two-week celebration marks the most significant holiday in the Chinese calendar. During this specific window, our China offices will adjust operations.
We will continue to receive your packages at our warehouses throughout the holiday. However, please note that we cannot ship out any packages during this time. Our export operations will pause temporarily. This operational change applies strictly to both our air freight and sea freight services. Once the holiday concludes, normal shipping activities will resume immediately.
Navigating Supplier Closures and Timelines
You must also consider your suppliers’ schedules. Factories and manufacturing hubs often close much earlier than logistics providers. Millions of workers travel home for family reunions, causing production lines to halt early.
Consequently, some of your suppliers may stop dispatching goods well before February 14th. If you wait too long, your goods might sit in a factory warehouse until March. Therefore, communicating with your vendors today is essential. Confirm their specific closing dates to avoid unexpected inventory gaps.
Strategies for Seamless Chinese New Year Shipping
Proactive planning is your best defence against these seasonal delays. We strongly encourage you to schedule your shipments immediately. Sending your items to our warehouse early ensures they leave China before the cutoff.
Furthermore, stock up on critical inventory now. Anticipating your needs for late February and early March will save you stress. By acting quickly, you navigate the Chinese New Year shipping rush without hassle.
