Where can you buy a face mask and have it shipped quickly?

FranandZoe — Sat, 11 Apr 2020 12:44:31 GMT

I purchased four masks from a seller on Etsy a week ago - bought from this seller as she said I would receive 4/10-4/16 so now of course I get an email saying shipping is delayed another week. I only purchased from her becasue she had the quickest shipping time.

@FranandZoe I am having the same issue. When she finally responded to my email she offered to cancel the order. I don't want to cancel I would like the masks.

It's so frustrating!

At this point I would prefer to just cancel. I've made my own and even worn a scarf. I'll make due with them. But I see sooo many people with mases - where did they get them?

@FranandZoe : I ordered from MajesticHomeGoodsUSA this last week and they all shipped yesterday.

They don't have the pocket for a filter at least that I saw. Needed to

order for our kids in Colorado so was in a hurry.

I ordered some with the pocket including the filter the week before but looks like won't be shipped until sometime next week. I was in a hurry to get something to them. They'll have several in the end. Got some for our grandchildren also.

Good luck

There are online instructions for a no-sew mask using a bandana and a couple of elastic ponytail holders. If you can get your hands on those items locally, you can have a mask in a matter of minutes.

Thank you. Hope you get yours soon.

I realize they're in high demand I just don't think sellers should say they'll be delivered by a certain date if they can't get them to the buyer by that date.

Lucky you! I wouldn't wear medical masks to go grocery shopping though.

@FranandZoe I've checked out masks on amazon, they have a lot there, many are pks of 50 in fact and not expensive at all. I'd check there, the shipping time isn't too bad. While you wait, scarves work too so do bandanas.

Sounds like the Etsy seller is overwhelmed with orders!

I made my own mask and later found a mask that I had used during a paint project boxed away in our basement. Then I saw our church has a group of ladies making masks for anyone in our church who needs one. So I’ve been lucky here.

Thank you. Yes I've been checking Amazon and eBay. As I said I did make them out of dinner napkins - perfect size. And I did use a scarf too.

I used an eye mask. It got me into Costco. Comfortable to wear too.

@FranandZoe They either made the masks themselves or had a friend or relative that made them.

I think it's safe to say the sellers on Etsy are overwhelmed with orders.

Good idea. I had two sleep masks that I received free from somewhere - maybe Sephora - threw them out about a year ago. Figures lol. Thanks.

I ordered 3 from a seller on Etsy too---and should get them today (4-11). I ordered them before the ok to wear face masks was given---but the seller said that they had to go thru a process to be able to send them out---as they were considered an essential business-----but I guess they had to be vetted first--they are from CA so makes sense---but I did sew up a mask from a pattern I downloaded off the web, that will work great so will be doing that as we need more than one mask to wear out---

I ordered a set of 3 from Amazon - and it's not due till June so I get a msg I can now track the order. Argh, it just left China - so I ordered one on Etsy due here this week so we'll see what happens. But for those presently with nothing - I saw a video yesterday where someone took a white cotton sock and cut it into a mask (no sew) - the socks were cotton and it looks so easy I probably could do it (and trust me I don't sew).
