I'm about to strangle my Etsy seller who made my rings! When I pay $1500 for something and an extra $20 for shipping, I expect it to be shipped better than plain USPS! She sent it as registered mail, not anything I can track. Supposedly, it shipped on the 17th. I haven't seen it, haven't gotten any messages, I don't know where it is, and I can't track it!

I seriously don't know what to do.

I've had many packages shipped here, including things that were very obviously expensive electronics. I've never had a problem. I can't believe this seller would ship it so carelessly.

Wow that's really inconsiderate and poor business practice. I would leave a negative review

That truly sucks!  Hopefully USPS is just super slow and you'll get them tomorrow or the next day.  Ugh.

Did you get an actual notice that it had been sent?  Was there any "official" USPS information?

I really hate to say this, and not to scare you, but there are a LOT of Etsy sellers who are really just scam artists.  They advertise products for exhorbitant amounts of money, delay the actual shipping until you can't open a dispute with PayPal anymore, and you never get a product.

I really hope this hasn't happened to you, and maybe there's more info you can give us?  But it's the big reason why I'm really wary of Etsy, especially expensive purchases.

I hope it wasn't a scam! There were 40+ positive reviews going back a few years. The ring prices were, I felt, completely reasonable given that they were custom orders and gold prices are sky high right now.

I pay paypal through my AmEx, which I'm under the impression has a good chargeback policy, but it's good to know I only have 45 days to file a dispute. If they can't prove delivery confirmation, that protects me as item not received under paypal's TOS.

I sincerely hope there is just a mixup with USPS. The rings are beautiful, and I haven't seen any like them anywhere else.

FI had two packages that he was expecting and one finally got here, the other one is still in the mail. I wonder if USPS is backed up? I wouldn't worry yet. I do have to say that it was very stupid of the seller to not pay for a tracking number. When I sent an important package, it cost me 80 cents for a tracking number.

Have you mentioned anything to the seller yet?  At this point, I would bring something up to see what the story is.  If they are unresponsive, I would begin filing a dispute with PayPal.

This was what I aws going go suggest. 
Try not to stress too much. I've had packages take at least 2 weeks to get to me if they were mailed "slow" enough.  But shiiit. $20 for shipping? for rings that weigh like nothing, that should have been easy to put it in a flat rate box with confirmation and insurance (with money still left over).  Even if it does eventually get to you, I'd write a review about that.

I feel like conformations cost less than a dollar, like 45 cents.  So that is ridiculous.  Even when you get the package I would complain.
