Etsy releases new announcement, will automatically inform buyers of delivery dates

Recently, according to foreign media reports, Etsy issued a new announcement, stating that it will increase the sophistication of peak season shopping delivery estimates and display peak season shopping delivery estimates to buyers.

  Etsy noted in its announcement that buyers want to know their orders will be delivered on time, which is especially important during the busy gift-giving season. To calculate the estimated delivery date Etsy shows shoppers, Etsy will obtain information from the seller's shipping profile, such as handling time, carrier information, and mail class, and combine it with shipping time data to finally come up with a delivery date after the package is delayed.

The policy of automatically notifying buyers of delivery information this time is the same as last year. Etsy will check the actual time it takes for sellers to deliver the package to buyers after sending it. "If there is a delay on that particular route, Etsy will recalculate the delivery date and update it on the shipping information list, and then notify the buyer of this information." Etsy will check the data of millions of Etsy orders, find all delays in time and adjust the shipping time to provide buyers with more accurate order delivery information.

In addition, Etsy emphasizes that the annual sales peak season is very tight. Etsy will inform buyers in advance of the final estimated delivery date affected by actual events such as carrier delays , providing buyers with more consumer information by displaying delivery estimates at the seller product listing level , without rejecting holiday shoppers who do not see the delay in their zip code.

Etsy says that if sellers want to show buyers a more accurate delivery window, they need to do two things:

1. Keep your processing time up to date. You need to process orders and packages in a timely manner and ship them in a timely manner. When calculating processing time, you only need to calculate the time it takes to prepare the order and hand it over to the carrier. Once you select a carrier in the shipping profile drop-down list, Etsy will estimate the estimated delivery time for you.

2. Sellers need to deliver their orders on time. Sellers must contact the carrier to confirm that the package has been delivered before marking the transaction successful.
