Must've been from you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etsy#post-268039 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 17:12:40 +0000 Turd Ferguson 268039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm usually pretty much on a one-track mindset to find the best "item" I can for the lowest price. I do agree that I will occasionally think twice if it's an international seller, only because the shipping kind of scares me. </p> <p>I just managed to buy...4 different things off of etsy today...gotta love payday and shopping at work! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etsy#post-267994 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 16:37:15 +0000 hilsy85 267994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer to stick to US made products, only because I feel like if something is coming from Australia, there's a greater chance something could go wrong in transit! But if it's something I want, that won't stop me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etsy#post-267950 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 15:42:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 267950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: tippythai - I bought two canvas bags from her as gifts and both my mom and SIL looove them!! I made little flower pins so they can accessorize them too. They were so cute. Really awesome quality and the seller was great about my custom order! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etsy#post-267939 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 15:35:10 +0000 regberadaisy 267939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: what seller? I'm always looking for new sellers to fave! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etsy#post-267937 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 15:33:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 267937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: I try to stick to UK or Canada. </p> <p>But I ordered something from Thailand for Christmas and SO glad i did. the seller was so sweet and the quality was exquisite for the price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etsy#post-267934 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 15:32:50 +0000 mrskc 267934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll order from any shop. I do like to keep it in the U.S. though. I'm mostly looking for quality product. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etsy#post-267930 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 15:30:52 +0000 loveisstrange 267930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to stay away from shops who sell items that are obviously wholesale. I do try to support small businesses and WAHMs if I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etsy#post-267926 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 15:28:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 267926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Agreed. I think it's a perk if I find that the shop is local or WAHM but I will still buy the item I like even if it's not.</p> <p>@Running Elley: yeah. And so many of the shops are WAHM or families anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etsy#post-267894 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 15:12:06 +0000 Running Elley 267894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll order from any shop (even though I do love to support WAHM moms!). I make the decision based off of the product and the quality of the product. A lot of times the things that seem most well made are from the WAHM shops :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etsy#post-267892 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 15:11:14 +0000 regberadaisy 267892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I remember to check local shops first sometimes I don't. But overall, I go for the better price and item than location.<br /> ie when I was searching for a card for my husband the one I loved is all the way from the UK. No way locally offered anything similar. I'm not going to not buy the UK one because it's not local. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etsy#post-267891 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 15:10:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 267891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name is Coco Bee, and I am an Etsy addict.</p> <p>;)<br /> Okay so I have a question about etsy. I love to support small businesses, specifically WAHM moms. I also love to support local businesses. Etsy is obviously world wide. I'm torn, do I support only WAHM shops, only local or any? </p> <p>When you shop Etsy, does the location or seller influence your decision? </p>
