CHINA BUSINESS STILL IN LUMBO

[rapidlocksmiths]

recieved my order this morning from autokeys , all good .

you only need to look at main oem suppliers , an awful lot of out of stocks , as many oem also come from china , those that dont carry stock may see some keys hard to get over comming ffew months , as even when back to work their will be a backlog to catch up

many industries hit by this , maybe we have all become a little to reliant on china goods in the west

Litle question: the Covim-19 is alive on package of keys? If package arrive after 3 or 4 days via DHL?

Heheh, some ELV emus I ordered a month ago finally arrived, via DHL, today and I had no concern about a virus. More power to any virus that can survive the rigors of the shipping process independent of a host.

Virus will not exist on the package for 3-4 days
do not worry

Is there some new solution, which is working soon?
I read about the blood plasma, from people who have recovered.
And this helps people who are very sick.

Honestly I think people just wait and see. How this develops.
It not so tempting to order products, if it at the same time contains the virus.
Nothing you want in your home or business.

You dont have to open any packages as soon as they arrive.

if contains the virus you will be out of action, so leave box sealed for 21 days
then open

i don't left that much stuff in stock. I must to open it it's so simple. If this study is right and it seems well documented i must to disinfect, i don't want to take the risk

In South Korea cases has doubled each day, over the last few days.
And in Iran the cases are ricing rapidly.

Scary thing this virus.

Cleaning is one thing.
But giving a key to a customer, who might be infected with the virus.
Which can make a person really sick.
I have some doubts about that.
Risk customers life, because we want to make more money on each key.
Maybe small kids playing with the key.

Buy at the best price, to make a better margin. Often involves China.
Customers are used to the low prices. And I guess will not accept a higher price.
Then the Locksmith take that loss. So this is not a ideal situation.

Luckily I did several large orders before Christmas.
So I have the milk and bread keys for a long while.

It just those special request of keys, that needs to be ordered.
And the prices are not what I am used to.
Ordering in EU and the US or USSR.

1) get their money first before giving free virus

2) warranty void
