Why Do GearBest and Aliexpress Not Deliver Parcels from China? Coronavirus!
As you know, the Chinese New Year is at the end of January. Actually, this is not one day, but a whole week or even more days. Millions of Chinese have their holidays and go to their relatives.
Unfortunately, the beginning of 2020 has shaken up China with another mass phenomenon called Coronavirus. The Chinese authorities have imposed restrictions on movement in the city of Wuhan due to the epidemic nature of the disease. Also, a large number of provinces in China have no public transport or other social and transport services.
However, everything else that does not concern mass services for people continue to work, including the post office. Since not only people but also parcels are migrating around the country and the world, scientists have paid special attention to the spread of the Chinese Coronavirus.
According to the confirmed data, the Coronavirus is transmitted only by air, from person to person. Accordingly, there is no reason not to deliver parcels from AliExpress, GearBest, Banggood and other Chinese stores to other countries in the world.
Then why did the media start publishing information that Chinese stores don’t send parcels until the situation with the epidemic stabilizes?
