So i have orders that say ship by today and when i click on them they say ship by wed the 18th which is tomorrow. I dont want to get penalized by etsy so i am changing the ship date even though the original ship date is tomorrow, and they are not actually late. When i add a day so its says ship by tomorrow the ship by date becomes Thursday which is not tomorrow. This happened before i and I waited till the next day figuring it was a glitch but then everything was then overdue by one day yet it had a ship by date that was for that day. Has anyone else had this issue?
@HappyKawaiiSupplies: Welcome to the wonderful world of Etsy's inconsistent time zone conversions. Based on our experience, the date in the change ship by date drop down should be the safest to use.
Can you purchase labels today for shipping tomorrow in order to stay in Etsy's good graces?
Yes, it happened to me earlier this month. I printed out the packing slip for one order and it said ship by September 4th. Later that same day, when I refreshed the page to print another order, the date changed to September 3rd. So glad I caught it and was able to updated the shipping back to the 4th. We all know their glitches are our dings.
Did you report it when it happened before? I didn't bother but maybe should have.
