Despite this, Etsy’s average delivery times seem satisfactory based on seller and buyer ratings, with notable improvements seen in on-time delivery scores post-2016. The platform’s ability to enhance delivery speed, as evidenced by quicker shipping with Etsy Labels, has likely contributed to the substantial increase in total sales reported in 2020. It is evident that buyers value faster shipping options, with a rise in willingness to pay extra for speedier deliveries. However, challenges persist, such as delivery-related issues affecting seller ratings and cart abandonment due to lengthy shipping times. Adapting to these insights, Etsy sellers are confident in meeting delivery commitments, particularly during peak periods like the holiday season.
