How do I safely offer local pickup on Etsy without tracking or delivery proof?
Anonymous • in 12 hours • No answers yet
I sell physical items on Etsy and a nearby customer asked to pick up their order instead of having it shipped.
I’m concerned about how to handle local pickup safely and how to protect myself if there’s no tracking to confirm delivery (and how it might affect seller metrics). What’s the best way to set up an Etsy order for local pickup and document that the customer received it?
