CVine update - COVID-19 effect on operation
Just want to ensure everyone we certainly still having active operation right now but COVID-19 did have an effect on our operation and we would like to give everyone an update regarding some changes during this period :)
1. Delay on the crowdfunding campaign, involving the special tillite tea set and our latest mass-market tea. Due to China's challenging situation right now (and the world), our original plan of going down to China in Feb 2020 to finalize the last part of our campaign has to be delayed until travel restriction and virus situation is under better control. We want to avoid possible uncertainly for our backers, we want to ensure our product is done well and can be ship out on time before we start a campaign.
2. While the logistic side is recovering, it is still extremely slow and can often have huge delays. US and EU route is extremely streaky, delayed and often has lost packages, while southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, etc) is better but still get delays often streaky (just less chance of lost package). This is also one of the reasons for delaying our crowdfunding campaign.
Let's hope the world can get through this pandemic fast and we can all get back to our usual life, fight on!
