Anyone order from Etsy?  Tell me the good and bad.  Should I just stay away?

It is such a fun place to browse!  If you are looking for a gift and you just can't think what to get someone, you can surely find something interesting here!

 

I have ordered many, many times and never been disappointed!  It's nice that you can e-mail the vendors and get personal replies to your questions.  Also, I have gotten personal notes of thanks, etc. from them.

 

I've also ordered things for myself and they always look as good as they did on-line and usually, even better!

I've only ordered 5 or 6 times over the past few years but I've had great products and s/h with each vendor on ETSY.  One item came from France and shipping was a few days longer than normal but I expected that.

Etsy is a great site I think.  A lot of individuals selling homemade item.  Lots and lots of beautiful things.

@ScrapHappy   I have bought from Etsy and have always been happy with my purchases.  If you are uncertain, I would suggest looking for the purple star that says 

 " Star Seller".  These people have good reviews. Also, read the print and it will tell you who takes returns and who doesn't.  Good luck!
