Has Anyone Used Etsy?

I'm looking for gifts for my bridesmaids and for my father and founded out about Etsy. I'm nervous about trying online shopping on websites I've never been to (thanks to my FH occupation) and wanted to know if anyone has shop there and had a good product. I don't really have the time to be scammed...

    I haven't yet, but I have had my eye on a number of things. I will probably get my cake topper and our guestbook from there. I also have my eye on a necklace, but I'm really unsure... It's quite a bit of money so I don't want to buy it and then have it not look like I imagined.

    I bought my garter and my hangers all came out beautifully. Smiley smile

    I've gotten a few other things with no issues too!

    Absolutely love Etsy. I got the mom’s gifts, dad’s gifts, groomsmen gifts, favors, etc. off there for the wedding. And if you spend some time looking you can find really reasonable prices. Would highly recommend!

    I bought my bridesmaids earrings from http://www.etsy.com/shop/luminajewels, and they're beautiful!

    And I bought my jewelry from http://www.etsy.com/shop/OliniDesigns. After receiving my necklace and earrings set, I thought the earrings were a little too big and too much with my necklace. I sent her a message asking if I could exchance the earrings, and she said for sanitary purposes she couldn't exchange, but she sent me the pair of earrings I wanted free of charge as a gift to me! This lady is awesome! Very responsive and the jewelry is gorgeous!

    Favorite thing about Etsy is supporting small business and you can get US Made! Had wonderful experiences with several sellers.

    I will be working with an Etsy shop to have the Flower girl dresses made. I'm a little nervous but she has great reviews and the conversations have been positive. (I'm nervous because I'm a bit of a micro manager)

    Make sure you contact the shop owner and that they respond!!! I ordered some BM jewelry in February and I haven't heard from the seller since! In slight defense I told her my wedding was in Oct so I didn't need them right away but now I'm starting to get nervous Smiley sad she has tons of reviews! And they're all positive but it's been slow lately- I wonder if her demands are too high? :/

    Nicole- have you tried contacting her again?

    I had something like that (where I told the woman I didn't need it for awhile) and I just sent a follow-up and said something very politely like "Hope all is going well, acn't wait to get my jewelry, just making sure I'm still on your radar Smiley smile "

    I bought massive amounts of wedding stuff from Etsy. I highly recommend it. Just make sure you have a well rated seller and you'll be good.

    If you're interested, I do crystal jewelry, but I don't have Etsy. If interested, I can give you my website or FB page. Smiley smile

    I've ordered my DH's wedding band and cake topper from Etsy. Only bad part I had to deal with was the jeweler put " " before and after what I had engraved but figured since he & I were the only ones that would know, I didn't worry about it too much. Just ask questions and read reviews like others have said.

    I've gotten my bridesmaids gifts, his ring (UK), cupcake liners, guest book (Romania), garter and return address stamp from Etsy. I agree, definitely check seller feedback. I've had nothing but good experience.
