I am so sick of this. I have lost star seller status because of this. My processing times are 2-3 weeks. I can ship an order a week earlier than the "ship by blah blah day" and this will still show up, marking the order as late by Etsy and further decreasing my customer service stats.

This week alone, probably more than half of my orders have shown this. I've been on Etsy for close to a decade and have never experienced this the way I have lately. Last month, 11 were shown as shipped late. The thing is, they still arrive within the estimated delivery date, every time!

I am at an absolute loss. The other day, I even had an order show that it would be late if I purchased the $60 priority express next day label, lol.

I burst out crying during the announcement. I can't express how much I adore Olivia and how much I've missed her since she left. I love the podcast and my life would be miserable without it, but it's always been missing something without her. A light truly was extinguished and now it's illuminated again 🥹

This is the best day ever. We love you so much, Olive ❤️😭🥹

I don't know if this belongs here, but I have no idea where to post this and what to do.

1-2 times a week (sometimes 3 during fall and winter) I order 50 lbs of wax from a large candle supply vendor. It comes in 10 lb slabs in a single box. A lot of the boxes they ship always come in falling apart, wax all broken up. The boxes are flimsy and aren't taped well. I knew it was only a matter of time.

Have 30 orders due this Friday. Wax was supposed to arrive last Friday. Never did. I check UPS tracking last Friday at 6pm and it shows the box was damaged and the entire contents were discarded, along with the box.

I've now contacted them three times about this, with no reply or resolution or return phone call or email. They always reply to me IMMEDIATELY, within half an hour. I've spent tens of thousands of dollars at this place, if not over $100k at this point after years of my business.

I use PayPal and I know I can just file a dispute with them, but I am terrified out of my mind to sour anything with this company. They ship usually within an hour, it arrives next day, and is the best and cheapest wax I can find for the candles I make. It would be the end of my company if they cut ties with me.

I am heartbroken and just so angry over this. What would you do?

Also, I ordered another case today because I can't wait anymore. It was shipped within the hour but they can't send me a replacement or refund or reply to me?

Endometriosis 👍 I literally thought I was just sweaty.

Is there anything I can do immediately so this doesn't set overnight? I just got this mattress and the cover is a nightmare to take off and I also can't do laundry this late.

Thanks so much!

Edit: I have no idea what the darker stain is. I'm wondering if this previously happened within the last couple days. I sit in this exact spot daily. I had no idea about tonight until the green sheet was very visibly stained when I came back from changing my clothes - drenched in sweat from being outside in the humidity which is why I didn't realize this happened to this extent.

The hydrogen peroxide was an absolute miracle! It immediately just disappeared. I can't attach a picture, so I did attach a clip under the top comment.

What an incredibly kind, supportive, and diligent community. I would have just scrubbed and scrubbed and made it worse and let it sit overnight! 🙏❤️

Suck it. He loved and cherished Oliver so much 🩷💜

That genuinely was one of the most beautifully written speeches I have ever heard. We love you, Ethan.

Edit: I feel badly about this post after seeing a few comments saying that it was adding to negativity. I never intended that, but I feel so much guilt now.

I was seeing comments even on this sub from people talking about Ethan's initial intro about Oliver. These people obviously didn't know Ethan was told by the family to roast Oliver, like Oliver would have wanted and it made me feel awful for him during his grieving.

It's painful to those of us who know what their relationship was. I stupidly didn't realize posting this that I was bringing attention to people who don't get it.

I never meant to do that. I was just so overwhelmed by Ethan's eulogy. I have never heard words in the English dictionary strung together more beautifully than I did tonight. Ethan could not have honored Oliver in a better way than he did.

My shirt is literally soaked in tears as I lay my head down tonight, wishing I could give Oliver my own life. He appreciated life so much more than I ever did or have.

I will leave this post up because I'm truly sorry if I hurt anyone or caused negativity. I never meant to do that. It was an appreciation post towards Ethan, but I realize on the other end it doesn't look that way and just adds to pain. I am seeing so many people expressing their newfound appreciation for Ethan.

I am so sorry.

We love you, Ethan. You are such an empathic, kind, beautiful, lovely soul, just like Oliver was. And is. Your eulogy for your sweet friend Oliver was just so beyond profound and honorable. There are no words I can find to explain how touching it was.

It's so incredible that Oliver's parents chose you. Most of us here found him through you. It speaks volumes to your friendship. It's all anyone needs to know.

We Iove you both.

Does anyone know when they will be done renovating?

It's an absolute freaking nightmare in there. Just when I figure they are almost done, every single aisle is in a new place again! I almost had a fit today seeing the entire right side of the store bare, including the pharmacy.

Plus, now they have one of the parking lots closed off. In the middle of the hot humid summer.

Are they even adding new stuff? My trip was 4x longer today than it normally is. I worked in retail for quite a while, so I completely get it, but moving the same aisles 10x so it's literally in a new spot every few days is insane. I can't find anything!! I feel so bad for doordashers and other shoppers.

I think I'm more sensitive right now because the other store I always go to is the Centre Park Giant, which has also just been completely renovated, lol.

First world problems, I know..

Trying to keep this short while not letting my anger get the best of me.

Edit: I'm done typing this and it definitely was not short and I apologize.

I've been renting my condo for roughly five years now. A large handful of times, Amazon has delivered a package of ours to the wrong unit. There is no reason or excuse for it. It's a completely different number.

Anyway, it always goes to the woman in the same A unit as mine, just a totally different building number but it is feet away - directly the next building over. Imagine 1873 and 5432. There is no reason for mixing them up.

I recognize her mat in every single picture. She knows damn well Amazon shows the picture of the mat and she knows who we are. But Every. Single. Freaking. Time. she has kept the package for herself. She does not bring it next door or leave it in the lobby. Nope. She literally steals our packages.

Do I have video evidence of this?? No. But what other explanation is there?? I did leave a note once asking her unit to please return the package she brought inside her home that clearly was not hers. They were large patio chairs and the two boxes were at least 6 feet long. They were pictured outside of her front door and then when I went to go look inside of the locked and secured building a couple hours later, they were not there. She took them.

When she saw the note I left outside of her building, she came over buzzing my bell and knocking like a lunatic. I did not answer and she left them outside.

This is the same pos I posted about months ago who turned up to her parking spot directly outside of our unit in the middle of the night. You tell me what this looks like.

I don't know what to do at this point. I already contacted the police about her hit and run and they did nothing. Nothing ever happened to her. I'm also pretty sure she is on the HOA board.

I have had packages misdelivered to me and I've driven miles away to get it to its rightful owner. I can't imagine just taking someone's property and thinking you will get away with it when you've already been called out for it and I know it's you because of the pictures Amazon provides for delivery??? It's at least 10 packages now.

Am I overreacting?? I really think I am just going to print out the first picture of her door and tape it to the building and ask her to please return our items.

Yes, I am in bed. Yes, it is 3am. Yes, this is the worst picture ever 🌭

I am completely sober, just had a really bad weekend. Decided I would treat myself.

Mid 30s here. This is the best hot dog I have ever had in my life. It is so incredibly flavorful, tender, juicy, no tiny gristle pieces that I get in other dogs that freak me out.

I ordered the jumbo beef franks. When I looked at the package, I was like ??? They looked skinnier than normal dogs. Then I simmered them in water for 10ish minutes in a small pan and they plumped what seemed like double the size. Poured the water out, browned them a little on all sides.

I never knew a hot dog could be so good. I have ketchup and onions also on standby for the next two, but I could eat these completely plain on a bun.

I just had to write this. I just had to tell someone. I can't believe how long I have missed out.

Any recommendations on dogs that you think are better that I can get at grocery stores?

This helped me many years ago. It has stuck with me since. I know it's true, but it still hurts so bad. I know he wouldn't want anyone to cry over him. He would laugh at us, crack a joke, then say how grateful he was.

I've never felt such grief over someone I didn't know and didn't even follow like that. I've been crying all day and night, just unrelenting sobbing. Oliver was so pure and precious to me. He was snuffed out and taken from the world in an instant. I will never understand it.

I'm not good at goodbyes..
