The Spring Festival to Chinese people is as big as what the Christmas to European or American people. There is 10 days public holiday but the practical influence is much longer. People working far away from home tend to stay longer with family by leaving work earlier and coming back later as it is one of the most important traditions in the Spring Festival that family members should reunion. Meanwhile, the customs, shipping agencies are extremely busy in the time before and after Spring Festival, which increases the likelihood of failing to book vessels for shipping. So, it is suggested to schedule your order and shipping plan to avoid the Spring Festival period, which is the public holiday with 1 month before and after it.  Spring Festival is calculated by lunar calendar and the exact date differs every year but mostly in February.
