Where's Grove and Grotto's Etsy shop? If you're seeing this page in your search results, it's probably because you're wondering that very thing. We've been selling on Etsy casually since 2015 and actively since 2020. We've racked up over 40,000 sales, 14,000 reviews, and a 5-star rating for service, shipping, and product quality. But as of today, October 1, 2024, we are leaving the site for good.
Why? It's us, it's them, it's a little bit mutual...but the bottom line is, buh-bye Etsy! We've loved being your source for witchy and Pagan goods on the platform that, once upon a time, was known for valuing its small sellers and creative businesses. In 2024, it's being run by bots and corporate buffoons who are bent on driving off their most dedicated and high-performing sellers.
To our loyal Etsy customers, we hope you will consider shopping at our new, improved store at GroveandGrotto.com. We're offering the same prices and same personalized service, along with tracking on every order and a fair and friendly 30-day return policy. We also have a wider selection on our website, along with $7.99 flat rate United States shipping (or free over $45)! We will also continue to honor our most popular Etsy coupon code: Use "YOURCART" for 10% off any shopping cart, any time! We won't bug you with as many marketing emails and app notifications as Etsy does, but we will be in the office every weekday to answer your questions and ship your orders.
I personally spent many, many hours building the Etsy shop, and I'm rather sad to be pulling the plug. It put us in touch with some amazing customers, and in the company of many talented makers and entrepreneurs. But as a Witch, I know it's better to look forward with positive intention than backward with regret. And as a businesswoman, I know it's never a good idea to build your castle in someone else's kingdom.
I truly appreciate all the people who have supported us on Etsy over the years, and we hope to see you here, in our eBay store, or on whichever platform eventually takes Etsy's place.
Sincerely,
Michelle Gruben
Owner, GroveandGrotto.com
