Hi, just wondering if the coronavirus outbreak in China will affect shipping and delivery times?

Thanks Andy

I already contacted DHL two days ago, and they rest-assured that the outbreak had absolutely no impact on their logistics. Also, insufficient stock is mainly due to the New Year's celebrations.

ah cool. I placed an order 3 days ago, but Aliexpress didn't even send an order confirmation, which I thought was strange. Money has been debited though, so assuming all is good.

Not sure I'd want a package handled by a few dozen people in China who may have coughed or sneezed on your order before coming to your door right now...or at least opt for SLOW delivery ha-ha. :nervous: According to health.com, “Flu viruses can survive on hard surfaces (like bus poles) and infect another person for 24 to 48 hours”.
I wonder if the increased social activities surrounding Chinese New Year and lantern festival could have increased the soeed of the spread thus far.
