I must have ordered mine from Farsports at a very similar time to you. No updates for ages until I was starting to wonder whether I should cancel the order and then they were in regular contact. Arrived last week to my office and I picked them up yesterday. Impressed so far but the proof is in the building which won't be by me...

I ordered a pair of Farsports wheels on January 17th. The previous pair I bought from them (last year) took exactly 3 weeks from order to delivery. A week or so later Covid started properly kicking off in China. They emailed me in early Feb to let me know they would be delayed...
Finally shipped from China on March 3rd via Hong Kong, they are now in Germany so hopefully won’t be more than another few days.
I’m actually quite surprised and impressed that the wheels have been built and shipped at all, let alone so quickly, given how messed up everything is right now. Also the communication I’ve had from Farsports has been excellent. I’m looking forward to getting my new wheels soon.
Just thought I would post this in case anyone else is in a similar position. When I placed the order it looked like the virus was no big deal, it was literally 2 or 3 days later that the first cases appeared outside China and the scale of the outbreak began to be recognised. Obviously there are far more important things than new bike wheels!
