I don't see why not. The virus shouldn't last that long away from the source and even then you just need to wash it off. The whole state isn't infected.

I’m in the center of Washington State. For 25 years I lived in Kirkland. My girl was born in the hospital where the guy just died (Evergreen).

I think you are seriously overreacting. Hell, three days ago I just got an ammeter from China (eBay) and I didn’t think twice.

I hadn't thought of that until seeing this thread, but:
1. As stated, 3-4 days may be longer than the virus lives.
2. Un-box & wash the part while wearing gloves.

Ummm, let me rephrase.

Lungs youd not wish on anyone and PAD (Hardening of the arteries as us older people know it) in a very bad way. Would you do it?

Im the posterboy for this dang virus.

I got an ongoing dispute regarding a "damaged" item, it was posted here back in January. The buyer (in China?) is obviously unsatisfied. I'm not sure if he returned the item now for inspection, in order to file an insurance claim, I would accept/open it.

To the OP, I'd say no, let someone else be the guinea pig


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

What about ANYTHING that comes out of that state? Where do you draw the line?

I saw somewhere where a person was wondering about CASH coming from that state.

98844 is Oroville. WAY up on the Canadian border. Extremely rural, unpopulated. WAY off the beaten path. No concern.

Getting anything in the mail should be OK. But.....

If at all worried then take some precautions.
1. Mix 1/4 cup of household bleach in a quart of water.
2. Wear a N-95 rated dust mask when opening the package. Blue 'Smurff' gloves too.
3. Using paper towels, being careful not to cross contaminate . Use a fresh towel and never redip a used towel in the bleach. DAMP wipe the package down and then all the items inside the package. Use caution as bleach can ruin many items. Wipe down the surrounding areas and your hands with clean bleached towels.
4. Wipe the bleached items with clear water.

EDITED: Removed Kirkland references.

So you are insinuating that “Kirkland Signature” items carry an elevated risk for the general public? Please explain.

Its all hype, I wouldn't give it a second thought. If it really bothers you, use Lysol - it lists corona virus on the back of the damn can - and has for years!

Media hysteria. More people die from the flu. If people are that afraid they should crawl in a bubble and seal it up.

This is really getting pathetic when people are afraid to buy a car part.

I agree. And From someone in the same STATE as a victim. And then they hear “Kirkland” and they freak.

Hey, I bet all the one dollar bills in your wallet are infected! That’s George WASHINGTON!
