Last Minute Chaos!!
I am stunned that Etsy is having this event for art creators so late in the holiday season. Etsy has definitely, in my opinion, changed for the worse. Did anyone look at the calendar before choosing the dates for this event? Ending on Dec 20th, which is a Saturday. My post office is only open for 2 hours on a Saturday. Then you have Sunday with no mail and then Monday is the 22nd, leaving just two days to get to someone before Christmas. Do you know how slow the post is in July???, I pay for Priority Mail(which is no guarantee) and it sometimes takes 4 biz days to go from NJ to NJ-I can't imagine the chaos of trying to pack up an order and have customers hoping that they get their "handmade" item in time for gift giving. The only thing I see with this event is a lot of disappointment. Dates should be much sooner to give sellers a fair chance of making people happy.

·10 months agoI agree. It's great for me because I sell digital art that instantly downloads upon purchase. But there is no way anyone is getting shipments that are mailed on the 20th before Xmas.

OP10 months agoGlad to hear that you can do the digitals, that will be a big seller for last minute gifts. Thanks for agreeing about the delivery date being too close before Xmas to get there. I really think Etsy should have done this idea, but the week before.....take care and good luck with your sales.
