2026 Qingming Festival: Holiday & Service Notice
Official Holiday Dates
We will close for three days from April 4 to April 6, 2026. For context, over 90% of Chinese companies observe this national break. Consequently, our team will resume normal operations on April 7. Thus, please plan your purchases before April 3 for timely dispatch.
Order Inquiries Are Still Welcome
You can still ask questions about orders or products during the holiday. For example, our support team handles roughly 200 queries daily during past breaks. However, replies may take up to 12 hours instead of the usual 4. Nevertheless, we guarantee a response before April 7 ends.
Shipping Resumes After the Holiday
No orders will ship between April 4 and April 6. In fact, last year we processed 1,500+ orders immediately after Qingming. Therefore, all orders placed during these three days will be shipped starting April 7. Meanwhile, express carriers usually clear backlog within 48 hours post-holiday.
Traditional Customs of Qingming Festival
Qingming is a 2,500-year-old Chinese tradition for honoring ancestors. Statistically, over 80% of urban families visit gravesites during this period. First, people clean tombstones and offer food, incense, or paper money. Second, many families enjoy spring outings, kite flying, or willow branch wearing. For instance, around 40% of participants combine tomb sweeping with a picnic or walk. Finally, green rice balls (qingtuan) are widely eaten — more than 10 million are sold annually in Shanghai alone.
Why Qingming Matters for Global Shoppers
Understanding this holiday helps you plan better for future purchases. For example, many Chinese e-commerce orders slow down by 60% during Qingming week. Therefore, we recommend placing urgent orders before April 3. After the break, our warehouse will operate at 120% capacity to clear delays. Thank you for your patience and cultural understanding.
