Mail and parcel delivery to China disrupted by Coronavirus

06 February, 2020

E-Commerce Mail

The current outbreak of the novel coronavirus (2019.nCov) that was first reported from Wuhan, China, is impacting all global businesses including Asendia.

At the moment more and more airlines reduced or cancelled their flights to China mainland. Therefore the transit hubs have lot of backlog and delays are increasing day by day to and from China.

Unfortunately we have little control over this situation but will do all we can to mitigate delays when possible.

We will keep customers updated but please contact your Account Manager if you have any specific queries.
