Has anyone ordered recently? I know things are delayed in China, just wondering if orders are going out at all and worth ordering now for Pesach..

I'm nervous to buy anything from China now.
I'd rather spend a few more bucks than risk bringing a disease into my house r"l.

I'm awaiting my wig that I ordered weeks ago (make that months) she said she's very sorry for delay, blaming it on the virus but really she shouldve had it ready way before it all started.

Thx! I heard the virus doesn’t come though packages? Anyone can verify if that’s true?

The Chinese New Year was before the virus. No one works then either.

I know and that's why she shouldve sent it out before that. She had plenty time. I bought it months ago!

You can only get the virus from person to person, like someone who coughs, etc not on any package that anyway takes weeks to deliver.

So I hope you don’t buy practically anything, you do know most of the items you purchase in your local stores are from China.

I ordered a whole lot of things about 5-6 weeks ago. Some arrived, others still haven't shipped (and likely never will).

It depends on where the factory and warehouse are located. If they are outside of the quarantine zones, you'll be fine.

You can always email the seller ahead of time and ask. While you're at it, wish them health and long life. They'll really appreciate it.

I really do not know how someone can equivocally "guarantee" that there is no risk.
No one really knows for certain and new info is learned about this new virus practically every day.
The quarantine and/or incubation length is now said to be longer than two weeks, some say it can survive up to 9 days on surfaces...information is rapidly evolving daily.
I would definitely err on the side of caution. Do a cost benefit analysis.
