Etsy Shipping: Discover an Online Selling Brand

Etsy is an American online selling platform specializing in the trade of handmade, vintage, and creative goods. Essentially, Etsy enables independent sellers from around the world to promote and sell their unique, handmade products to a large community of buyers. Established in 2005, the company has continuously evolved over the years to become an essential player in the online sale of various products. Etsy now boasts over 90 million active buyers.

 

How to Deliver an Etsy Order?

To ensure the smooth delivery of your Etsy packages, here are the main steps to follow for each of your shipments.

 

Determine the Dimensions and Weight of the Etsy Package

First and foremost, you need to accurately determine the dimensions and weight of your Etsy package. In addition to helping you estimate the cost of postage for your package, there are certain rules to follow regarding weight and dimensions:

  • Weight of your Etsy package: The maximum allowed weight is 20 kg.

  • Length of your Etsy package: The length must be less than 1 meter.

  • Perimeter of your Etsy package (L + w + H): The total perimeter must be less than 1.50 meters.

 

Check the Shipping Fees for Your Etsy Package

Once your Etsy package is properly packed, you need to calculate the postage price to send it to its destination. Refer to our comprehensive guide on package packaging to ensure the safety of your goods during transport. Simply visit our online calculator and provide the following information:

  • Departure country.

  • Destination country.

  • Weight of your package.

  • Dimensions of your package.

 

You can then choose the delivery solution that best fits your budget and the agreed-upon delivery terms with the recipient of your Etsy package.

 

Postage for Your Etsy Package

Finally, all that's left is to post your Etsy package to proceed with its delivery. For this, you need to log in to your Happy-Post account, customize the shipping label, and print it out. Make sure that all information is perfectly readable and do not cut off any barcodes when trimming the label. Then, affix the label flatly on the side of the package.

 

Procedure for Returning an Etsy Package

It's possible that a buyer of one of your products might not be satisfied and wishes to return their Etsy package. Here are the main steps to follow for an Etsy package return:

Discuss return arrangements with the buyer: delivery address, send-back deadline, who covers return costs (refer to the terms and conditions of sale).

Purchase the return label for the Etsy package: either the buyer or yourself on the Happy-Post website by downloading the label in PDF format to send to the buyer via email.

Wait for the package to be received and proceed with refunding the buyer's order.

It's important to clearly define the return modalities for an Etsy package in the terms and conditions of sale for your shop to determine who is responsible for covering the return delivery costs.
