My first sale on Etsy

Hello everyone~! How you've been doing?
I've been busy >_< but I have awesome news: I made my first sale on Etsy!!
You can't imagine how happy I am. When I received the mail for the transaction I was in bed with fever and with a crappy internet conection (in fact, I still am), but all feverish and sick (and did I say happy already? because I was) I started to crochet a little reindeer for a british customer <3



I made EVERYTHING: the box*, the gift tag and the thank you card xD everything was handmade by me. I sent him an amigurumi ice cream keychain because I made a promotion for the first 10 customers who buy an amigurumi doll ^^

So, after all the preparation (it took me a lot to finish everything xD I'm such a freak ~_~) I went to Correo Argentino (Argentina's oficial mailing office) and sent the little package via certificated mail. It was all so fast and easy! I hope it arrives safe and soon ^^

*The box was a pain in the a**ss xD but it ended up as I wanted :3 I'll post the pattern someday, I promise.

Have a nice day!
Hugs <3

  2. Congrats! Hope you keep selling lots of them! :) They're beautiful and so is the packaging.

    Do you know what? You can send your packages on the normal (the cheapest) fee. They'll get their destination within the same time frames. I always send packages to Japan, the USA and Europe and they get them within 10 days. As long as it's a "reliable" country. It's a whole different story when people send things from abroad to this country ...

    Hope you're feeling better!

  3. @Piktoland Thank you so much ;_; Haha, the packaging made me crazy xD but I think it was worth it, I made it with love :3 I just saw you live in London >_< my first package went there!

    @Miki I'll totally take your advice and change the shipping prices, and maybe give more options if the customer wants it certificated or things like that. I know what you mean by "when people send things from abroad to this country" -.- Aduana always retains packages and makes you pay half the price you paid for what was sent -.- su$#&&/$&ckers, even if it was a gift. LAME COUNTRY IS LAME.

  7. Haha, you know, I made the box again for this second sale and it was ten times easier! The first one I have to adjust the parttern a lots of time, but now that it's already done, is easier, yup.
