10. email yes, written thank you no...

I have made only a handful of purchases off etsy (necklace and stuff like that) but I did email the sellers because I was so thrilled with the items. One was a painting that blew me away in person. It was very large and I'm sure it was tracked but it was so pretty i had to express my delight.

I thought the OP was referring to when you send a gift to someone. I had a friend send me something directly from Macy's so I texted her to let her know I got it and then I followed up with a written email.

When I purchase online, they usually know when it was received because it's tracked. Like Amazon. On ebay, I leave feedback right away so they know as well.

Now, I ordered off a wedding registry for my niece when she got married and I didn't hear a thing for almost a year. It was an expensive purchase and I worried about it. I think I got a notification that it had shipped but not sure there was tracking info. FINALLY got a hand written thank you but a quick email or text would have been nice.
