Hi, I hope you are doing well. The annual factory closures associated with the long Chinese New Year holiday in Asia is coming soon. During this period people all over Asia leave their factory jobs and travel home to spend an extended time with their families. If you need Flash, Memory or Storage products we recommend ordering before the factories close to avoid delays.
Here are the dates for 2026:
- Last order date: February 2, 2026
- Last shipment: February 9, 2026
- Factories Close: February 11, 2026
- Factories Reopen: February 24, 2026
- Factories ship after opening: March 5, 2026
Factories close in these countries: China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines.
This year, with chip shortages already impacting availability it is more important than ever to plan ahead.
Please contact me if you need to pull some product in before the break.
