Etsy, "FedEx" not "Fedex" Etsy has Errors in their "alerts" they post for sellers

Save up to 89% when you buy USPS domestic shipping labels on Etsy

We negotiate rates with carriers including USPS and Fedex, then pass the savings to you.

 

Etsy, "FedEx". If you are trying to get sellers to buy labels here insuring accuracy of annoying alerts should be important. Since this isn't the first error I've seen, I'm posting about it. These alerts are annoying for many sellers that do not buy labels here. We are getting better rates elsewhere. We are using UPS, FedEx, USPS and additional services we cannot get rates for here. We are not going to suddenly choose to use Etsy Labels when all of our shipping service choices aren't offered here. It also doesn't help things when names don't have accurate punctuation or spelling. We were also promised customer facing real-time shipping calculators 8 years ago. Will these ever happen? The shipping choices we can show customers aren't even up to date with recent USPS changes. We also can't show SurePost. If you want us to use Etsy Shipping labels make us feel that Etsy fully understands shipping. 99% of my sales with USPS or UPS get to customers in 1-3 days and yet it shows 1-5 days. So, when a buyer sorts by a delivery date of 1 week and I have 3 days manufacturing all of my items get filtered out. When in reality that customer is in a 2 day transit area. That means my item would be done and arrive in 5 days, less than a week. However, it won't show up to that customer when they sort by 1 week delivery. 

Do a favor for sellers and customers. Fix the error and get expected delivery based on a customer's location active. OR let us continue to use "Other" where we indicate a specific amount of days for delivery. It doesn't make sense to prevent items from being seen in 1 week delivery filters if they can be delivered in 5 days to 99% of the people purchasing but 9 days to 1% in some remote area of TX, CA, HI, AK etc where you rarely get a sale. Etsy should make this a priority since they state customers want items quickly and this impacts transactions.
