Should I take down my Easter items to avoid angering buyers who assume it can make it there by Sat+

[busybeeshopper12]

Since the shipping window for most items to make it to customers by Easter is closing or already too late depending  their location / shipping mode I always worry about the rare last minute buyer who expects their item to arrive before any holiday and getting a negative as a result. So I am contemplating either putting in a little note in my listings that I will ship same or next day but cannot guarantee delivery by Easter, or just take them down. I will of course put them back up as most of these items can be considered "spring items" and regardless holiday items can sell at any time of year. Or I may be overthinking this entirely and should just let the sales happen (or likely not!) and send my stuff out as usual. Thanks a bunch, I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays as best as possible.

...extend your shipping and handling time few more days longer for all your listing so you don't have to worry your items arriving late...

I think you're overthinking it. 🙂

I would leave the listings up. In my experience, buyers who want things sooner will most of the time ask if there are any expedited shipping options before they purchase. Buyers are shown delivery estimates before they pay.

Could there be shoppers here or there who behave irrationally? Sure- but that's not a reason to cut yourself off from all the other sales.

My 2 cents.

Let them go.  I won't take mine down until after Easter.  Then on to the next holiday.

All good points. Yes, in the past if a buyer was concerned about it arriving by a certain day they would usually send a message first. Thanks again!

Me personally since you will relisting them anyway... I'd pull em now, then relist without the word or mention of Easter... fix the headache before it arrives.

Daughter brought up a bunch of Easter crafts for me this past weekend, I looked at the calendar and said "nope, to many will order them Thursday, and then be ticked when they don't have them Sat". 

Current 'lock downs' have people stuck in "groundhog day" scenarios and most aren't looking at calendars or even days of the week.
