Right now, UPS Ground is taking on average 7-11 business days to arrive in the Continental US.
USPS Priority Mail is taking 10-14 business days and they are destroying about 30% of my shipped packages.
USPS First Class Mail Packages are taking 10 business days.

And we are just at the beginning of the Holiday shipping season. Hanukkah comes earlier than usual this year, Evenning of Nov. 28th. I would recommend having very early cut-off dates for guaranteed delivery. It is going to be one hot mess

“They assume sellers don’t pay attention to holiday season and to news within the business world of shipping.”

If you visit the Etsy forum you will learn that many newer shop owners have no clue how bad the holiday shipping season really is. Currently, all postal carriers are warning about a very tough holiday season which is probably why Etsy is giving the warning flag. Many shop owners are clueless and do not keep up with any current events.

The reality….If packages are not delivered on time, Etsy pays for that. If sellers sell products and then closes down their shop before products are shipped, Etsy pays for that. As a buyer, I’ve called Etsy about late package arrivals…Etsy gave me a refund; whether the shop owner had an active credit card on file or not. Etsy gives refunds for late deliveries.

Perfect example of a useless team.

They assume sellers don’t pay attention to holiday season and to news within the business world of shipping.
They give us the same information we have known before crooked, rotten, etsy was even a site.
They don’t ship anything themselves, so how would they know?
Suits talking to more suits, and none of them know anything, and I mean, ANYTHING.

Whenever they projected shipping dates (arrival times), that all came from within the etsy platform independently.
But, whenever they expect packages to move slowly, they make it the sellers responsibility to give bad news.
That is a job for the “Shipping Team”.

Pushing off work that they should be taking care of themselves, shows the lazy and greedy mindset of a company who assumes all financial rights to many independent sellers, and offers useless ineffective information that is more known as common sense.

I’ve known many people who do this with the false intent of appearing “helpful”.
Taking all the credit while actually slowing down a project, growth, or success.
It’s that ‘work ethic’ that has destroyed much of economy, and government for our country.
Too many non-helpful’s making the water cloudy.

Do some REAL WORK, you imposters.
