My understanding is that VSF has not been raided and has not closed. You should be good.

Hi, just received an email from my TD….Clean Factory is back to work and he accepts new orders for Clean Factory Reps…
Just to let you know and get back to the topic of the original post…..
Wonderful, thank you very much! I was just a little unsure because I haven't received any qc pictures for a two weeks. From what I've read here, it seems to be a normal period of time, so I'll just wait and see.
Hi, could you share the name of your TD confirming that Clean is back to work, pleaseHi, just received an email from my TD….Clean Factory is back to work and he accepts new orders for Clean Factory Reps…

Thank you
I have an order in with @CTime for a vsf DJ36 and I’ve been waiting several weeks. No stress. That’s the game. But Ctime did tell me that “Vsf is on holiday now”. When I asked if VSF was on holiday for the dragon festival, he said “ No, sir, vsf is on holiday for a long time”. I assumed this was due to the raids, but I didn’t want to take up any more of CTime’s time, so I left it there. Hurry up and wait. Not my first rodeo.
I’m not sure if they were raided or just closed before, but I was told by a seller this morning that 3KF is back up and running now.
Only the Drive Thru is open.
I've heard from TDs that Clean has long delays still, ZF should be supplying soon, and 3KF is OK.
New member here…first time post, first time stumbling upon this forum, and I have to say I have been thoroughly amused at the banter and off-topic tangents peppered throughout the previous 6 pages of this thread. Allow me to uphold the spirit:
-an “alignment tool” that is software-based using a photo won’t work unless you physically scan the face of the watch, because the aspect ratio of a photograph is inherently compromised…which also won’t work for a number of reasons unless you are in a controlled laboratory with scientists smarter than all of us using tools none of us can afford.
-damn man, Noob shut down?!? (again I’m new here)
-free market capitalism allows us all to charge whatever premium for whatever value-added benefits we can provide, and the market usually responds to validate or dismiss said premiums (thanks in-part to forums like this)
-I had a good one for this spot, but I already forgot it
-To reiterate what some other member that I can’t remember said: the Chinese government can (and does) control all industry that operates within its borders. With that in mind, the raids have no other explanation than to be performances to appease whoever is applying pressure from outside sources. The dudes in jail probably called someone’s mom fat.
-the previous statement has no actual merit.
I just acquired a small lot of reps from a family friend who asked me to sell them, so I’ve been digging into this realm a bit today. Fascinating stuff. That’s how I stumbled upon this forum, and I’m glad I did. So much good (and terrible) information in here. I’ll be perusing for a while.
Also really interesting that the first thread I read is so fresh…like this is happening RIGHT NOW! I’ll be interested to see more updates on these raids and stuff.

You seem to have already done a bit of reading and also to be in possession of a working brain, so maybe this isn't necessary, but still, having a quick read can't harm.
Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:

Hmmm that's a strange reaction.
Your reply sounds very sarcastic (as if you took the Boss' post as sarcasm). I don't know if your post was meant to be sarcastic or is just an awkward attempt at (Alaskan?) humor, but I just want you to be aware that @trailboss99's compliment was in no way sarcasm and was intended as sincere appreciation of a first post that (unfortunately) stands out of a sea of not-so-stellar first posts.

PS: And I see that he indeed gave you an "exceptional post" award. Look at you... I'm a little jealous now.
I'm going to call you Award Boy instead of Doubledangers, if that's okay with you.
Just kidding, Congratulations! That's kind of a big deal, actually. Look around and you'll notice how few people have awards. Except for @g00n, who has multiple "Jackass" awards if I'm not mistaken (well earned though!)
