Etsy tracking

Etsy’s global marketplace aims to connect people with their special goods by creating a dynamic community for all. Using their powerful tools and services, the experts of Etsy will be sure to provide both consumers and sellers with a comfortable place to trade, sell or buy products.

What is Etsy?

Etsy is an American based e-commerce business that focuses on supplying vintage or handmade items and craft supplies. These items lie in a wide category of products such as bags, art, jewellery, home décor, furniture, clothing, toys, and craft supplies.

Etsy also hosts craft fairs in which sellers have the opportunity to showcase their products for a fee of $0.20 per item. They also give sellers the chance to sell vintage items. Goods are only considered vintage if they are 20 years old or more.

As of December 2018, Etsy had above 60 million items on its website. Moreover, the marketplace for vintage goods connected over 2.1 million sellers with more than 39.4 million buyers. At the end of 2018, the number of employees at Etsy reached 874 and Etsy recorded a net income of above $41.25 million.

Is Etsy safe?

Etsy is considered to be safe and reliable to most users. Etsy is safe, just do not forget to check the Etsy store policies and Etsy shipping details before ordering.

Etsy is a billion-dollar company and it makes thousands of purchases a day so you can trust Etsy when you are making purchases.

Does Etsy shipping have tracking?

Tracking numbers are provided usually when the seller gives them. If you are a buyer and you want to track your parcel, you can request the seller for the tracking number, although it is optional. If you are the seller, there are two ways how you can get an Etsy tracking number to provide the buyer.

Ways to Get an Etsy Shipping Tracking Number

1. You can buy a shipping label from Etsy itself. Upon purchasing a shipping label on Etsy, a tracking number automatically comes with it and the shipping is completed when the courier has successfully scanned the parcel when it arrives.
2. You will get a tracking number when you send it through a third-party logistics delivery company. Companies such as FedEx, China Post, UPS, etc., give you a tracking number when you send parcels. You can send the buyer the tracking number or you can include it on the order through the website or app.

The importance of having a tracking number on your Etsy parcel is so that buyers can also be aware of when their packages are arriving or they can see the status of the packages. Once the customer is satisfied with your service, then it can lead to more sales in the future.

How can I track my Etsy order?

You can always check the shipping details/status of your order on the Etsy app or the Etsy official website. If the seller has given information, then you can easily check where the order has arrived and how much time it will take to reach your location.

Track Etsy Order

To track your Etsy order information, follow the following steps:

1. Sign in to Etsy.com or Etsy app. If you do not have an account, you’ll have to create one first.

With the tracking number, you can copy and paste it onto the Ship Resolve homepage and get results on the whereabouts of your parcels. You can track up to 10 parcels at the same and it doesn’t have to be the same courier.

How long does it take for Etsy to ship?

The time it takes to ship products from sellers to your destination depends on two things:

• Firstly, it depends on how long it takes for Etsy sellers to process your products.

Sellers always need time to prepare their products for shipping. This includes proper packing and applying shipping labelling on shipping items. If your products are Handmade, then sellers may need some time to properly customize them.

• Secondly, it depends on the Etsy delivery options you choose.

This may include whether your order has to ship to international borders. Both Etsy shipping time and item processing times can be found by seeing store shipping policies. If a seller does not mention processing time for an item, then it will automatically be set to 5 days.

Shipping to a location of the same country takes 2 days while shipping to different countries takes an average time of 10 days. Then Etsy calculates the total Etsy delivery time by adding an approximate processing time and a maximum shipping time.

How much does it cost to ship on Etsy?

Generally, Etsy delivery charges depend on how far the buyer from the seller is as well as the dimensions and weight of the product that you are purchasing.

Etsy Shipping Details

If you want to find shipping details you can check the product page.

1. Click on “Shipping and Policies”.
