What To Expect On Baopals This CNY
The Year of the Horse is galloping in, and with it comes the biggest holiday season in China—Chinese New Year (CNY)! If you're new to China or simply wondering how this festive season might affect your shopping plans on Baopals, we're here to give you the lowdown.
While Baopals itself will keep running as usual, the world around us will slow waaaay down as sellers and delivery services take a well-earned break. Here’s what you should know:
First Week of February: Some sellers will start closing shop for the holidays, and the majority of sellers will be offline by the following week.
If you need that must-have CNY outfit, your safest bet is to place your orders before February 5th. Any orders placed after this date will likely face delays as logistics wind down.
CNY Shutdown
No SF Express. No other carriers. No deliveries. Period.
Note: Depending on where you are, some carriers may start shutting down even earlier.
Big News: A Brand New Baopals Arrives Feb 15!
While the delivery trucks are parked, we are launching Baopals 3.0. On February 15th we are flipping the switch on an all-new Baopals Website!
We are using the holiday downtime to upgrade your entire shopping experience. When you log in on Feb 15, get ready for:
