I just received this alert from a major computer manufacturer notifying us of expected delays in receiving equipment from China:
"Chinese New Year is Feb 15th – 19th, please enter orders on or before January 29th or be subject to longer lead times due to the shutdown!! Every year around this time there is a Chinese New Year’s celebration that slows down notebook delivery and increases lead times by at least a week. During this time, for commercial notebooks there will be limited inbound customs, no factory order processing, factory production or shipments and backlog in outbound customs will increase."
Be forewarned, I would expect the Chinese holiday to impact other industries' deliveries as well.
