Disappointment with Etsy

I have so far ordered 4 things from Etsy and I am so disappointed. I ordered a wedding hanger and that vendor stole my money and closed up shop, then I ordered a boutique charm for my wedding bouquet and that came out great so I thought ok maybe it was just that one vendor so I order customized cards for my girls and they came out wonderful and just when I thought Etsy was good I order personalized wine glasses for my girls and they arrived the other day looking like a kindergarten class project. They were stickers on the wine glasses not hand painted. There was nothing on the listing saying they were stickers. I asked the vendor if I could return them and she said yes but will only give me back half of what I spent So FH said forget it we will do it ourselves. So today we start the process of soaking all the glasses and getting the stickers off and tomm we will go to Michaels and buy glass paint and do it ourselves.....so much for trying to avoid a DIY project I have to have these done by Thursday night because that is when I have dinner with my girls and Im giving them the glasses with a bottle of wine.

Ugh, that's frustrating. I always look at how the seller is rated on etsy and read a bunch of feedback. I found cool double decker wedding hangers for the MOB and MOG that were inexpensive, but when I read her feedback (a ton said she was super late and disorganized, etc.) I decided against using her. Don't let the 2 bad experiences stop you from using it again though, there are some really great vendors on there.

If you are still looking for a wedding hanger, check out bridalcutehangers. They were great to work with and super fast.

I feel so bad for you. It is so sad when people take advantage. I got my hanger from wedding bee. I got it the same week I ordered it and the vendor always communicates with you and sends you a proof before she mails it. If you want her information let me know.

So sorry for your experiences. I used wineglasschic for my personalized wine glasses. I did have a convo with her beforehand and usually do with the vendors bc I am neurotic and want to make sure they understand my vision. Not sure if that helped or if I was just lucky. Either way, I hope you have better experiences!

I would definitely read reviews and ask questions before ordering. I used a vendor on etsy for my shot glasses as a way of asking our bridal party and they were hand painted. Could you report that vendor for false advertising, just like you can on ebay?
