The Chinese New Year (CNY) in 2025 will be from January 28th to February 4th. This is the official national holiday, and it significantly impacts the logistics and manufacturing industries in China. For dropshippers, understanding the logistics schedule and how it can affect your business is crucial to maintaining smooth operations. Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming CNY and how it could affect your dropshipping business.
1. Chinese New Year Holiday Period: January 28th – February 4th (National Holiday)
During this time, most factories and warehouses in China will close for the holiday, and many workers will return to their hometowns. As a result, production and fulfillment will be slower or delayed, affecting your ability to get products out on time.
2. Inventory Disruptions: January 10th – February 12th
The Chinese New Year preparations begin earlier than the official holiday, with many factories facing high order volumes, worker shortages, and longer processing times. From January 10th to February 12th, you may experience inventory shortages or delays in product availability. This is mainly due to:
- Factory closures during the holiday.
- Worker shortages as staff return home for the holiday.
- Delayed production schedules, leading to limited stock for certain products.
3. How Aplusfulfill Can Help During CNY
At Aplusfulfill, we understand the challenges that Chinese New Year presents for dropshippers. If you have products in our warehouse, we will continue fulfilling orders during the holiday period. This means you can continue selling as usual or even scale your sales without worrying about fulfillment delays.
Solutions to Minimize CNY Impact on Your Business:
1. For Dropshippers with Low Order Volumes:
If your store experiences low order volumes during CNY, we recommend reaching out to the Aplusfulfill team to check stock levels. By doing this, you can plan accordingly and possibly pause certain product sales or stop selling items that may be delayed. This helps avoid potential customer complaints and disputes related to late deliveries.
2. For Dropshippers with High Order Volumes:
If you expect to receive a large number of orders, we strongly suggest you contact the Aplusfulfill team to discuss pre-order stock arrangements. By pre-ordering stock or having products stored in our warehouse before the Chinese New Year, you can ensure smoother fulfillment and avoid significant shipping delays. Planning ahead ensures you can continue fulfilling orders with minimal disruption.
3. For Dropshippers with New Product Launches:
If you have new products planned for release around this time, it’s best to delay the launch until after February 12th to avoid stock shortages or delays. Alternatively, contact Aplusfulfill to confirm available stock and prepare your new products well ahead of time to ensure a smooth launch after the holiday.
