If you plan to close for the Spring Festival, you need to set "Vacation Mode" in advance; there is no need to extend the timeliness, but you must contact your account manager before 23:59:59 (Beijing time) on January 23.

(2) Logistics Operation Support

During the Spring Festival (January 28 - February 4), POP cross-border direct mail will be collected as usual, Wanse warehouse will remain open throughout, SF warehouse and Dongguan Hongmei warehouse will be closed for one day on New Year's Eve but will still receive goods.
