Damaged Poster - Advice Please
I'd like some advice please. A customer has just messaged to say that her 8x10 inch poster arrived in an envelope (as it should) but the courier had folded it in half to put through letterbox 🙈 and hence has a big crease down middle of poster. She put it in the frame hoping it would not show, but it does. She knows it is not a print issue and is the fault of the courier service but asking if I'd offer her a reprint? What would you do @Mihai Volintiriu ?

@Mihai Volintiriu I created a case on Sunday evening, and got an acknowledgement email but not heard anything back yet. I sent a follow up email last night. How long are response times at the moment? Not sure if it qualifies for a reprint as no proof of packaging but there was a photo of the creased poster! Customer is waiting for a response! Should I just reorder and pay for it? I don't want to re-order it only to find it has been re-printed and on its way (so two arrive to customer). Any advice please? 😊

@Mihai Volintiriu thank you. I've told her I'm waiting to hear if they can do a re-print and said I'll get back to her once I hear with an answer (so she knows I'm monitoring it). Just wanted to know if I need to order and pay for it myself or whether it qualifies for a re-print free due to the courier messing up!
Start now or new year?
I'm trying to figure out if I should start listing now or wait until after the christmas cutoff. I'm not 100% sure I'm ready for this craziness for christmas when I haven't done this before - and yet I hate waiting. I mean, of course I'm making art and getting mockups in place and everything. When approximately will our christmas cut off be - around the end of the first week of December?

Start now! 💯 There is never a 'right time' to start a business!! As it's already been said, you'll learn so much and start the New Year in a much stronger position 💪
Bottom line = red
Hi All, Newbie here seeking wisdom before seeking solace in a bottle of wine. I opened my POD Etsy shop in August and started making sales this month even selling a framed design, yay! However, my net profit on Etsy for the month, minus my supplier cost means I’m actually in the red. I know there’s still a few more days until the end of the month to make more sales but, I can’t help but feel hopeless and dejected when I look at the bottom line and see red, especially after all the creative energy, effort and time spent. There are so many wins shared here, which is inspiring, but in all honesty (despite my sales) I can’t help but feel like I’ve failed in some way. Any wisdom greatly welcomed.

@Natalie S That's a great positive attitude 🙌🤩

@Geoff Nugent I think this is the right approach. It costs to use different softwares and have subscriptions to make the job of creating and loading listings to Etsy, easier. Once you have the number of listings you're happy with, you can start cutting back on it and also some of the costs. In theory the sales volumes should outweigh these (that's the hope anyway).
New video option on bulk listings
@Max Murray @Tom Beeston Thanks for the addition of a short video for our listings on the bulk listing tool. Another timesaving benefit from using PrintShrimp 🙌😍 loving all these new initiatives!

And me! Nothing comes without effort and time spent building your Etsy shop, but when you do, I'm already having a good indication of a nice side hustle 4 months since launching!
