Dear Customers,
On behalf of the ETSY community, I would like to inform you that there will a delay in the delivery of your products by at least a week. As our association dates quite back, you might be knowing that ETSY works with small manufacturers to facilitate their talent and trade. ETSY has been processing large demand and hence there is a shortage of the procurement from the manufacturers. We are trying very hard to fulfill your orders at the earliest. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to you by this delay.
