This $900+ order was crucial to fulfilling commitments to my New Etsy tincture Store, with timelines based on the seller's estimated shipping date and location. Unfortunately the package was not shipped in time to meet those deadlines. When I reached out for updates, I was accused of dishonesty regarding receiving a separate package from China, which was disheartening and unproductive. To resolve the issue, I contacted Etsy after waiting nearly three weeks and had the order amount refunded as a CREDIT, fully intending to pay again once the package finally arrived. However, the package was returned to you by the post office, further complicating the situation, but I’m grateful Etsy could step in and convert the credit into a direct refund. I have three ETSY store myself and customer service and great products is my livelihood.
