Discounts for the Chinese New Year — Special Offer from DiFFreight

From January 29 to February 4, 2025, the entire Middle Kingdom goes on winter holidays to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The holidays bring not only pleasant discounts for the Chinese New Year (Chunjie) but also changes in logistics. Most factories and manufacturers temporarily suspend operations.

Chunjie, which is an Eastern tradition, is the Spring Festival. The Chinese bid farewell to the old year and welcome spring. This event has no fixed date; it is celebrated according to the lunar calendar, falling on the first new moon between January 21 and February 20.

DiFFreight announces a special promotion: a 1% discount on purchasing goods from China to celebrate the occasion. Leave a request and place an order for goods from 01.01.2025 до 24.01.2025, during the last working days in China. We work with many Chinese marketplaces, including:

• 1688
• Alibaba.com
• Taobao.com
• Pinduoduo
• Tmall
• Techzk
• Yiwugo
• Gome
• GYS
• Made-in-China

The Chinese New Year sale will begin soon, which means products will be cheaper.

Potential Delivery Challenges During the Holiday Period

The holiday season annually causes specific issues with parcel deliveries from China to Ukraine:

• Factories and manufacturers are unavailable. They close for 2–4 weeks, and production halts entirely. Workers travel home to celebrate with their families.
• Delays in cargo delivery due to overloaded warehouses, ports, and airports.
• Increased rates due to a shortage of containers and warehouse space. Many companies aim to ship as much as possible before the New Year, leading to container shortages at ports and limited space on airplanes. Prices spike as demand rises.
• Shipments are delayed due to a lack of personnel on holiday leave. It becomes difficult to place orders or sign contracts because offices are closed.
• Chinese New Year sales boost production, but suppliers fail to prepare and ship goods on time.

The recovery period after Chunjie lasts from two weeks to two months. One reason is that workers return late, often taking additional leave days. Although cargo continues to be shipped from ports and by air, there are fewer staff involved. Resolving issues with manufacturers or contacting managers becomes more complicated.

Seasonality can be beneficial. DiFFreight offers a reservation service. The low season (since most shipments are made before the New Year in China rather than after) provides an additional price advantage. This option is ideal if the purchase or order is not urgent. If you are willing to wait 1-2 months for factories to process accumulated orders, place your order before the holidays to receive it afterward. By that time, logistics rates will return to pre-holiday levels.

National characteristics are always taken into account in the commercial trade sector. Since the Spring Festival (Chun Jie) is the most significant holiday in China, delays come as no surprise. The only effective strategy is to place orders, make purchases, and ship cargo before the holidays or postpone shipping until later.

How to Avoid Delivery Delays from China During Holidays

DiFFreight employees have extensive experience organizing shipments. We’ve successfully navigated many Chinese New Year holidays, so here are some practical tips:

• Place orders on platforms or arrange purchases at least 1–2 months before Chunjie. This allows factories to produce and ship your order to the warehouse in time. Before the holidays, businesses in China often work overtime, so production times can even be shorter.
• Choose reliable partners — from procurement agents to warehouse inspectors and logistics companies. Industry professionals can accurately calculate delivery times, factoring in holiday preparations.
• Plan your purchase with the recovery period in mind to avoid higher costs due to limited transport availability before or after the holidays.
• Control your order long before the holidays. If possible, stock up on goods to avoid risks with suppliers during unforeseen delays.

Otherwise, delays may extend up to two months, forcing you to either wait for the supplier or pay for storage due to a lack of available containers.

The Chinese New Year promotion with a 1% discount begins on the first day of the New Year. We aim to offer you both favorable prices and reasonable delivery times. Submit your application, and we’ll provide detailed information during a consultation.
