Swoofty Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Anybody know if Echo is still a viable company these days? I've heard from a few shops that they have outstanding orders form Echo for over a year now. It would really be a shame to lose them. Anybody know what's up?

AdamR28 Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Government restrictions aren't allowing them to manufacture anything at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLIW Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Exporting from China is an ongoing huge issue. Shipping containers have shot up in value, the shipping cost has tripled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's mental. What are the restrictions based on? Do you know if the workforce are being usd to manufacture other things for 'government projects' or just sitting at home with no income?

AdamR28 Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 They haven't said. My feeling is that there is some sort of lockdown going on that isn't being reported. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cities seem to go on as if nothing is happening, and other people haven't left their apartments in over a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Gang Village Song Gang Town. SHENZEN. China Might be worth asking Tarty what they know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 They have their own factory now apparently, based in Guang Zhou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 I'll interpretate the lack of (obvious) sniggering at "Bang Gang Village" as a sure sign that people on here really are getting old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
