Long National Day Break

If you are planning to make purchases online, do know that it's the long weekend holiday right now due to National Day celebrations. So if you need something delivered fast, sorry, courier offices are closed today.

However, for many of us who run an online store or offer a web based service, business is as usual. We continue to work, answer queries and keep promoting our products. This can not stop. And we continue to receive payment for sales except that orders are not shipped. Yet.

Although many people say that the economy is sluggish, it's actually because of this that more people are flocking to shop online where they would be able to get shopping deals but then when shipping charges continue to rise, any savings would be wiped out unless shipping is absorbed by retailers.
