I tried to order a couple things from China, looks like nothing is even being processed for 2 weeks

submitted by [deleted] from (self.whatever)

My tea is sitting in a warehouse somewhere, order unprocessed. The vape batteries just flat out said they weren't doing anything till at least labor day, so I left those in the cart.

Time to start growing your own.

It's just a type of camellia.

How do you grow vape batteries?

I'd like to. I believe it takes 3 years before you can start harvesting however, so it wouldn't be an immediate replacement.

I buy a lot of hifi equipment and anything I order from china takes at least a month or more. On the bright side when they finally do arrive it's like I've been sent a surprise gift from my past self.

I'm used to the slow boat from China, but these aren't even being processed at the company, let alone shipped. I think it's the lockdowns.

Not sure about shipments overseas, but domestic online purchases are also stalling in certain locked down cities.

Are they still having the rolling blackouts in China?

I'm not sure.

I always buy American first. They don't make vape batteries in the US as far as I know, and the US doesn't have Taiwanese tea. I haven't tried Hawaiian tea, and the total lack of flavor descriptions on continental US tea sites leads me to expect that tea tastes like what Americans expect tea to taste like, kinda shitty.

umm..don't support the genocidal pedophiles please. Buying from a NATO country means you're paying for child rape and possibly the destruction of the world. A chunk of your taxes go towards the oligarchy fucking us over.

Americans make some quality stuff. I mean as long as it isn't a car, fridge, or washing machine.

China is totally fucked up. I import things from China so I know all about the situation there. Half the factories aren't working and shipping is a nightmare. I will probably just shut this business down. I sincerely think China is finished as a major power because of its insane government.
