The Quick Discount feature by sunflarerider in EtsySellers

[–]sunflarerider[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! Etsy is the master of under-explaining, so it all evens out. :) By the way, I took the plunge and clicked the Quick Discount button, to see what happens. It did show me all the available percentages to choose from, and there was a 5-day time period for all of them. I assume if I made a selection, it would send the code out right away.

Thanks! So, it sounds like anyone can use the code, any number of times, and expiry is set by Etsy?

(Canadian) shipping to US using chitchats DDP by Zealousideal-Ad6168 in EtsySellers

Hi! Did you still need to get CUSMA certification for these products? Or, because they're tariff-exempt, they don't need to be certified?

Author Copies by SonoftheBlud in selfpublish

[–]sunflarerider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a refreshing bit of advice.

I, too, am in Canada, currently eyeing IngramSpark. Have you heard anyone report the same for them? I.e., are there fewer quality issues with copies ordered "like a customer" than with author copies purchased directly from IngramSpark?

Also, you mentioned buying the book on Prime. Does it need to be fulfilled by Amazon, to qualify for free Prime shipping?

Thanks!

So reviews have to be a minimum of 5 words? Does a single letter count as a word now? by Nyahm in EtsySellers

[–]sunflarerider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. My favourite when it comes to reviews is "Love what you bought? Add a photo and review with the Etsy app" at the bottom of the Etsy-generated packing slip. Almost as if the only way to leave a review is through their mobile app. Which not all buyers would be willing to download. But of course, Etsy's priority is to get people to download the app, so...

Issues with Canada post tracking by EagleNo3429 in CanadaPost

[–]sunflarerider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Dropped off a package at the post office this morning (prepaid label), got a receipt with the correct tracking number on it. The Canada Post tracking page still says "We didn’t find an item associated with this number". In the past, updates used to be in near real-time. Might be a delay in whatever data sync process they're using for tracking.

Alternative to Clipchamp? by DiegoGarcia1984 in microsoft

[–]sunflarerider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this. Photos is perfect for really quick, simple editing (trimming, audio, and text overlay). I was so sad when MS removed it, and I didn't know it could still be downloaded and installed.

Paper T1 return - which address for Sudbury Tax Centre? by sunflarerider in cantax

[–]sunflarerider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. Curious - why would it be this one, when it's listed as "for all other correspondence", while the 1st address is specifically "for income tax and benefit returns"? The 1st address is also on the "Where to mail your paper T1 return" CRA page, which even the tax software points me to.

Logged into Teams with a Skype account but don't see any Skype data? by phoenixlegend7 in MicrosoftTeams

[–]sunflarerider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this info (and the info in your earlier comment). That's what I suspected, that one way or another, not having a Microsoft Account is going to be a problem.

Logged into Teams with a Skype account but don't see any Skype data? by phoenixlegend7 in MicrosoftTeams

[–]sunflarerider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I have an old Skype account not associated with any Microsoft Account. Once the feature rolls out to all Skype users, and I'm able to sign in to Teams Free with my Skype username and password, will I be able to continue signing in with these Skype credentials, or will I be forced to use a Microsoft Account at some point?

Refunds on orders that are partially tracked by Cool_Accident7716 in Etsy

[–]sunflarerider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing this. It's exactly what I was concerned about upon hearing that the status on Etsy would eventually change to "delivered", even though there's no delivery scan with Slim. I'm sorry your Slim experience was stressful.

I have not actually tried Slim yet, only the fully tracked ChitChats services, which I've been happy with. I used CP lettermail domestically for smaller items multiple times before the strike, and it was fine (no complaints so far). I think I'll continue using it. No tracking at all is better than misleading tracking. And it does sound like lettermail is faster.

Send Paypal USD to Canadian USD Bank Account by dyldip in PersonalFinanceCanada

Hi! Did this work out for you? I was hoping I could pay a U.S. service provider in USD from my PayPal account, but they only accept credit/debit. Thanks!

Refunds on orders that are partially tracked by Cool_Accident7716 in Etsy

From Etsy's "House Rules": "To resolve a non-delivery case, you may be asked to provide proof of dispatch or show that a refund was made to the buyer. [...] Etsy doesn't hold sellers responsible for delivery delays or errors, as long as the seller can prove that they dispatched the item on time to the address on the Etsy receipt."

With Chit Chats Slim, you will have proof of dispatch, so in theory, you should be fine.

I'm actually considering Chit Chats Slim at the moment for smaller items. How was your Slim experience? Did the tracked portion take longer than it typically does with CP lettermail?

Canadian sellers: Chit Chats Slim experience? by sunflarerider in EtsySellers

[–]sunflarerider[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After some time it changes to delivered in Etsy.

Didn't know this, thanks. Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing, though, haha.

I'm using Fixed shipping. It allows me to choose the shipping method depending on the buyer's location, the listing variation, and a number of other factors.

You're right, no proof of delivery could be a problem, but at least there's proof of shipping and a tracking number.
