Default Deliveries from China?

It just dawned on me that my CarbonMiata order may have been a terrible idea. I kept thinking it was from Japan, until I checked the email after the order was placed. After about a week I emailed them with a couple questions and have yet to hear back. Has anyone been getting any parts from them or another Chinese vendor? I have a friend who's in quarantine so I know situation over there is pretty stressed.

Wipe it down using gloves and disinfectant and you'll be fine.

All my vendors in china are shut down.

if this continues much longer, we will have a crisis in the US, with inventories running low and China unable to resupply.

Additionally, Jan 25th to Feb 8th was Chinese new Year where most businesses were shut down.

They posted on their Instagram that orders are resuming.

Don't know about Corona specifically.
But pretty much most viruses can only survive 24 hours or so on a hard dry surface.


So unless you're either getting super fast postage, or you've asked them to pad the box with warm damp sponges, you'll be fine.

I was more concerned with lack of communication, but they emailed me Sat night. Orders have resumed and I need to patiently wait 45 days.

I have a small ozone generator that I'll use to kill anything that might come with my orders. Crazy or not, I just have to store stuff there for a couple of hours and be worry free.

I was worried about parts not coming due quarantines and all ya'll can think of is not getting sick. I guess I need to rethink my priorities. But for real, no way the virus survives that long trip over here; but I'll take precautions.

Your shipment will more than likely take longer than expected. We are starting to see the effects of all the corona virus quarantines on the global shipping chains.
