TIL offering a rush delivery option on my Etsy shop backfired hard...
I bumped my prices 30% for a 3-day turnaround on custom mugs and got zero takers, but once I dropped the fee to 15% I got buried in orders and learned people want speed but not at a premium in this niche.

Oh man that's so relatable! I did something similar with my handmade jewelry - jacked up the price for 2 day shipping and got nothing for months. Soon as I just added a flat $5 rush fee instead of a percentage, suddenly everyone and their mom wanted it overnight. People are weird about how they perceive value I guess.

Bet people would pay $5 just to watch you wrap a box, that's how easy it got.
