Don't let CNY chaos throw your production schedule into a tailspin. Our Aussie team with boots on the ground in China keeps your orders moving—even when everyone else shuts down.
We're Aussie business owners too. We get the headaches of importing from China when everyone's off for Chinese New Year.
Factory shutdowns during CNY can blow out your delivery dates by weeks—even months. Without a heads up, your whole production schedule goes pear-shaped, and you're left scrambling to explain delays to your customers.
Crickets from your suppliers. Vague responses about "delays" chucked in an email. Zero clue when your raw materials will actually rock up. Ring a bell? This lack of straight talk makes planning bloody impossible.
Without proper timelines, you risk overselling to customers or copping thousands in emergency air freight bills. One dodgy shipment can set you back $17k+ and nearly sink your business—we've seen it happen to good operators.
Rushed production before CNY often means dodgy quality. Getting a shipment where 75% is useless isn't just frustrating—it's a disaster. Quality goes out the window when factories are under the pump.
Time zones, language barriers, and cultural mix-ups get worse during CNY. Important details get lost when you need clear answers most. Good luck getting a straight answer when everyone's rushed off their feet.
Even if your order's ready to go, pre-CNY port chaos and post-holiday backlogs can delay shipments for weeks. Without inside intel, you're basically flying blind.
Aussie-owned with a proper team on the ground in China. We speak both languages and know how to get things done—even during the madness.
We're not some mob sending emails from Australia. Our team's actually in Ningbo and Guangzhou, physically at the factories, managing your orders in real-time throughout CNY. No middlemen, no BS.
Our team bridges the gap between what you need as an Aussie business and how Chinese manufacturing actually works. We understand the urgency because we're locals too—and we don't take ourselves too seriously.
Need to beat the CNY rush? Our fast-track service gets your orders priority treatment with suppliers we trust—the ones who can keep quality up even when they're flat out.
We won't let the CNY rush compromise your product quality. Our thorough QC process means you get exactly what you ordered—no nasty surprises when the container rocks up.
No more radio silence. We give you regular updates on production, shipping schedules, and any potential hiccups—before they turn into major problems. You'll always know what's happening.
We handle port congestion, freight forwarding, and customs with our established network—making sure your gear arrives on time, no dramas.
"Lucky I found TK from Google. He has the most up-to-date knowledge about Chinese factories, technology, and import businesses to help source products. During the CNY period, his team kept us informed every step of the way."

Ideally, get your orders in 8-12 weeks before CNY to make sure production's done and shipped before the holiday. For 2026, that means ordering by mid-December 2025. But with our fast-track service, we can usually handle urgent orders up to 4-6 weeks before CNY. Our China team works till February 6th—giving you more time than most other agencies.
With us, we give you a heads up about any potential delays well before they stuff up your schedule. If delays can't be avoided, we jump straight into finding alternatives—backup suppliers, expedited production after CNY, or air freight if needed. You won't be left wondering what's going on with your order.
Most factories gradually get back to full speed 3-4 weeks after the official holiday wraps up. For CNY 2026, expect things running near-normal by mid-to-late March. Our China team's back March 2nd ready to go. But order backlogs mean lead times stay longer (often 1.5-2x normal) for 4-6 weeks after the holiday. Our supplier relationships help us get priority production slots during this hectic time.
Direct supplier chat is pretty much impossible during CNY as offices shut and everyone heads home. This is where we're worth our weight in gold—our Aussie office stays fully operational, and we've got emergency contacts with key supplier people. You can always reach us, and we'll sort out supplier comms on your behalf when they're back.
Yeah, there's definitely more risk of quality dramas during the pre-CNY rush as factories try to bash out as many orders as possible. That's why our quality control gets even stricter during this period. We do thorough inspections at multiple stages and won't approve shipping substandard stuff—even if it means delays. Protecting your brand reputation is what matters.
Direct suppliers often look after their biggest customers during busy times like CNY, leaving smaller orders in the dust. We use our combined buying power across multiple clients to get better priority and pricing. Plus, we give you: Aussie-based support in your timezone, bilingual chat, independent quality control, logistics sorted, and honest reporting—all the stuff that disappears when suppliers go dark during CNY.
Our pricing's upfront and fair with no hidden fees. We don't take commission from manufacturers—we work for you. Fast-track services are typically 15-25% above standard fees, but this covers priority production scheduling, expedited QC, and better communication. When you think about the cost of delays, emergency air freight, or unusable stock, fast-track usually saves you money in the long run. Hit us up for a custom quote.
Absolutely! Heaps of clients use us specifically for supply chain management and quality control with their existing suppliers. We can jump in to manage CNY planning, do inspections, handle logistics, and give you the straight communication you're not getting directly. This way you keep your supplier relationships while getting professional oversight during the critical times.
