One of my suppliers told me that the shipping companies were mandated to sterilize all packages and items before shipping out of China. No idea what that involves or if its still going on.

My latest shipment hit my box location. I'm going to let it sit a few days before pick-up. haha

UV sterilization is what I keep seeing mentioned.

So, they shot an invisible light at the outside of my boxes. Big deal, lol.

Haven't read about it, but what are the spraying out of those big guns? I remember seeing some PEOPLE being sprayed after getting off a plane! :O

It's hard to get details about that, because it's China. Most articles just say "disinfectant" or "chemicals" but some mention bleach specifically.

There was one video of a guy in a hazmat suit using a modified Stihl leaf blower to "disinfect" an office with people working in it. The people working put their heads down and tried to cover their mouths as they were sprayed with whatever.

Got mine yesterday, wiped down the outside of the box with lysol wipes but got lazy and didn't wipe the inside contents. I figured since DHL packaged the product and it was air tight sealed, it's fine?

You don't think the items inside the box were handled by somebody other than DHL before they were shipped?

Even still, you don't think DHL employees over there are just as susceptible as the rest of the population?

Just saying, lol. I didn't take any precautions at all with the shipment I got yesterday but I think your logic is flawed.

ebaystealth1974 · #**166** 02-25-2020

Ehhh, we're young. We're highly unlikely to die from it anyway lol

(but I'm still not ordering anything for a while)

Not denying that at all...excuses I told myself to be lazy smh.

We're still young though so we should be fine regardless

Couriers are working fine..as normal.

EMS on the other hand - massive delays.

alpet · #**169** 02-26-2020

Do you have some info about open of shipping from EU/US to China/HK/Macao?

solefoodbk · #**170** 02-27-2020

I wouldn’t worry to much. I’ve had about 8 packages arrive already, all from different parts in China.

This “virus” is a cold for most people. Yes some people can become very sick but it’s no different than any other cold, for the most part. Unless you don’t take care of yourself ..... it’s really not that big of a deal.

not so,this is a different kind of virus than your garden variety cold/flu virus.
it causes lung congestion so you cant breathe,if you cant breathe,you die.
