Sourcing from China in 2022? What You Need to Know!

Way back in Feb 2020 we wrote our first article about the Coronavirus impact and how it might affect orders of promotional merchandise in the coming months. And here we are, over two year later, STILL talking about it.

The good news is, there has been some improvements over the past year on the shipping time, but still moving slower than the 'normal' before the COVID-19. So working with a trusted shipping forwarder is most importent.

Matson Inc, which has the fastest ocean shipping line from China to the USA. When the goods arrive at the port in CA, we will have UPS pick them up and deliver to your door. The whole shipping time is about 35 days.

For the air shipping, we use UPS, FedEx and DHL, it takes about 5 days to your door. 

Plan Ahead: With a multi-tiered supply chain, even limited delays at different stages means we are strongly advising our clients to allow for a 2-4 week contingency plan for the products they plan to order.

If your customers need merchandise in 14 days or less, still Think Local.

At BG, we are in the business of making branded merchandise EASY – so feel free to get in touch so we can help you with your promotional merchandise needs into 2022.
