content: So, lots of stuff closes down for a few weeks during CNY.. So annoying for PCB development, as it really can put a dent into the schedule.However i've foudn that;(a) Allpcb are open ( apart from 2 days ) and functioning..(b) Despite advise on their web site saying different, LCSC was still shipping yesterday...Smart move by allpcb, they might pick up some customers??

content: This from JLCPCB website:Our Chinese New Year holiday is upon us, we wanted to let you know we’ll celebrate the Spring Festival with family and friends from Jan 30th to Feb 11th(GMT+8), but there are workers on duty and our factories will work normally over this period, so you can still receive your boards during our holidays.Notes:1. Factories will be closed from Feb 5th to Feb 7th only, and work normally at other time during Chinese New Year

content: A lot of Chinese manufacturers are either staying open or closing for one week or less. Apparently, the country is not shutting down as completely as it used to.- Bob

content: Why don't you simply adjust your schedule in such a way that you give them Chinese some breathing room in the single holiday they have each year?Is it really so much trouble to place your order a week earlier, or shuffle 2 of your projects around?

content: ALLPCB's promise of being open on CNY is bullshit.I sent an order a week before CNY and it still hasn't shipped. They're blaming their stencil line, which I suspect is outsourced

content: A bit late here as the holiday is over. JLCPCB were as good as their word, I sent in a 4-layer just too late and that started being processed on the 12th and is shipping out today. I also sent in a 2-layer, 100x100, green, HASL, 1.6mm and that was manufactured over the holidays and shipped a few days ago. Those were the limitations on what they'd do over the holidays but I appreciated they were at least running a skeleton crew and I would think that also meant when the line opened fully on the 12th they didn't have a huge backlog.These are my first JLCPCBs so I hope they're good.
