Carona Virus...
-
Yet another possible monkey wrench in the delivery timetable. I don't know if the factory is in an affected area or not, but it seems that all of China is being slowed down by this thing in one way or another. It just might be a factor. Also, could be totally paranoid, but it might not be a bad idea to handle your box with disposable gloves and let it sit in the garage for a few days before opening. I've read that similar Carona viruses (viri SP?) can live on dry, hard surfaces for several days to a week. Presumably the container shipping time plus customs wait will be long enough, but you never know. If your box happens to come over by air and you have no way of knowing...
