☺☼♥ Happy CNY 2014!!! ♪♫

i am missing our Chinese friends already, our friendly contacts among dealers, sellers, distributors $), and manufacturers or other companies from the Far East, Shenzhen, Hongkong, .... None of them ever tries to rip us off but we schwing the pp hammer nonetheless yikes.

anyone knows when (by which date?) most companies will be back from CNY holiday season?

CNY company close outs begin in 3.0 weeks!

Canadian New Year?

This year's spring festival falls on January 31st, 2014. Public holiday will be from January 31st to February 6 however many businesses will close early to allow their staff time to travel home.

let's post the some exact dates from-to for some businesses, WB, FT, DD :D

Haven't seen a note yet on the FT site.

okay, some BLF insiders may be interested in this info bit, one specific ;) charger maker has the business closed from

Mon, Jan 27 to Sun, Feb 9

That's exactly 14 days.

They still work a bit for the company during that time (e.g. business travel, trade shows, trade fairs, testing software and hardware at home) but not at the Shenzhen workplace: the facility doors stay closed for 14 days straight.

good to know. emailing may still be possible. sure enough business people still check their emails even when they're on vacation.

2 weeks without WWW would be plain torture. unless you're in the sahara, no WLAN, but much sun instead. too much sun. hh.
