Expected production delays for Lunar New Year

Factories in Asia will be closed February 10-20 in observance of Lunar New Year (February 12). Some factories allow workers to take more than the allotted time off, so we like to plan for reduced production runs for the remainder of the month.

Before and after the weeks-long holiday, factories will experience congestion as they prepare for the close, and then catch up on the backlog. This will result in longer than expected lead times in early March, but production will level out in mid to late March. Please note, the delays in production also have an effect on logistics and congestion at port. All cargo should be planned in advance. Bookings within the Lumi freight team will begin March 15 and proceed as normal following that start date.

To avoid production delays, if you are ordering from factories in Asia and need to receive items before the end of March, we advise placing your orders as soon as possible.
