China seller response time

[howiegood]

What is the response time on average to emails sent to china sellers? Is the chat sessions offer quicker responses? What time period is best, are they open regular business hours (china time) or 7/24?

most of them are going to be active while your asleep, so it can be kinda painful with a 12h latency minimum most times... which adds up to a full day round trip.

stay up late and you can usually get realtime responses.

I normally start seeing responses from China sellers around 6:30pm to 7pm central time which is about 8 am in China.
