About dropshipping orders, we can continue shipping out the products that we have already in stock.

On the other hand until the 20th:

• We can’t receive new items this means the orders with no inventory cannot be shipped out;

We are really sorry to communicate that due to the current situation between Russia and Ukraine, shipping could have heavy disruptions:

📦 Wholesale Freight Costs have already started to increase; 

📦 Dropshipping Shipping Prices may rise soon. 

Many flights are also forced to modify their routes to avoid specific sky areas, which results in longer routes and higher shipping costs due to fuel expenses. 

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will inform you as soon as we have updated information. 

Early warning of delay in transit time in on various destinations of Special Line:

Canada

Due to the Shanghai International Import Expo, some flights have been canceled, and for this reason, parcels sent to Canada are expected to be delayed by 2-4 days in the air transport link. In addition, the increase in cargo volume stations at Canadian terminals will prolong customs clearance operation and cause an expected parcels delay of 8-10 days.

Goods sent to Thailand are expected to be delayed for 4-5 days in the export link. Right now, there is no information about when the situation will come back to normal.

Greece 

Due to a problem in the Greek Customs System, there has been an overload in cargo volume, some of the parcels arriving in Greece in the last few days are expected to be delayed for 3-5 days in the customs clearance process. At present, new packages will be sent to other areas for customs clearance to minimize the impact on final delivery.

Belgium 

The recent upgrade of the Belgian Terminals inspection system and the infection of the epidemic have led to a shortage of manpower and a backlog of goods. The time limit for customs clearance of some parcels is expected to be delayed by 3-7 days. There is currently no exact recovery time.
