FAQ Coronavirus: Am I at risk for Coronavirus from a package or products shipped from China?

NEWS

In case you were wondering if it’s safe to order from China I made this post to hopefully clear up some confusion. This is to inform everyone about the question of whether or not you can get coronavirus from a haul. Basically, the disease is a disease spread by respiratory droplets. There is very little evidence to support that COVID-19 can be transmitted through imported goods from China because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures. There are currently no cases of coronavirus in the US related to imported goods. In other words, GL on ordering your hauls in case you were afraid of catching coronavirus.

28th of february. It was surprising to receive it this fast considering the coronavirus and everything.

(I used EUB if that’s relevant)

Damn that's pretty fast considering the situation.

I just went with EMS but got no idea how long I should expect for it to ship

A laudable effort to clear up some confusion, unfortunately the people who keep making these threads clearly don't bother to read or search for anything else that's posted on this sub.

You have a higher chance of getting Coronavirus going out in USA than receiving a package from China.

the post office in Brazil has a place called "Curitiba", there their packages disappear for a few days (sometimes weeks), this ensures that we are safe with respect to orders

What are Taiwan and South Korea’s policies regarding mail? The US is hardly testing anyone so I wouldn’t trust many of their statistics

In the beginning a lot of us here made fun of it saying it can’t survive with a host but after more research it looks like it can survive on surfaces for 1-2 days, and in the air for a few hours. This means we will be fine because shipping is ass and takes 3 days at the very quickest. Enjoy your haul if you decide to order it. Stay safe, you’re more likely to catch coronavirus in your home country than from a chinese package now

I heard somewhere that the virus can settle on certain surfaces for up to 3 days. Shipping is so delayed though that I don’t think anyones getting their hauls on time :/
