803,126 People Effected!
When time come to 31th, March, 2020, the global Coronavirus Cases reached 803,126 people and just yesterday, there are 61,404 people got effected, and total 39,032 people death of the virus.
In the same time, when lots of European clients purchase masks, gloves, infrared temperature control guns, they all found that the logistics all very slow, and why the logistics became so slow since it just took 4 days previously to ship products from China to European. So what is exactly happen during the global virus period. Here we make a DHL shipping from China to Italy time comparison table.
12-15 Days Pending for Masks!
The Comparison form shows when we shipped goods out 2 weeks ago, 17th, March, 2020, and it takes 5 days to reach Italy as usual.
1st day: Shipment information received
2nd Day: Processed at HONG KONG - HONG KONG
3rd Day: Processed at LEIPZIG - GERMANY
4th Day: Departed Facility in BERGAMO - ITALY
5th Day: Delivered
but now, it will take about 13 days to finish all the steps, so and most people will ask: when the logistics became so crowed? My answer will be: Monday, March 23, 2020, but actually saying, it's started from 21th.
When Did DHL Became Slow?- 21th!
We can see in the chart #1 and #2 the global daily case is just fast increased before and after 21th, totally 29,429 people got effected, specially in Spain and Italy, raised fast! but why it take about 1 weeks later than the increasing case? I mean 13th- 16th the number have growled a lot.
But Why?
Firstly is Shenzhen was about 16th announced to resume work, and the secondly is factory and trading companies spent 1 weeks to prepared big volume of medical products and almost shipped in same time. But the most lethal factor will be: due to COVID-19, the sharp drop in passengers between Europe and Hong Kong has led to a significant reduction in flights!
No Passengers, Not Enough Planes to Carry Goods
When there is not enough passage and huge volume goods pending for carrying, so the pending time is become longer and longer, and nobody knows when the goods will be load in planes and fly.
Here we make a lisitng about our goods shipped out to European countries and how long the leading times for your referance.
