I've seen a few reports that freight moving in to, and coming out of, China via Hong Kong is being impacted by travel restrictions and the accompanying cancellations of flight. Quite a number of my recent packages have gone out to reshippers in Portland, OR, and I assume they are destined to HK or China.
A few went via Wilmington, DE, and are destined for Europe or the Far East, via a different path.
If you are shipping to China, or ordering small parcels from there, be advised that delays may happen.
