So I'm doing a lot of DIY at present and I'm avoiding buying mass produced homewares as much as possible.
Etsy has become my go to marketplace for things like lampshades, doorknobs, light pulls etc.
I specifically search for UK based sellers, in the hope that I'm supporting local small businesses as much as possible and postage will be a matter of days not weeks.
Only a good few times I've bought something, with 'Dispatched from the UK' and a few days delivery lead time, only to find its being sent from China with the buyer then marked as in China and delivery weeks away.
I feel this is massively misleading as I only find out after I have bought something.
So AIBU? And is there anything you suggest?
