No. You are allowed to politely ask as per Etsy's policies, but I don't like to bother people about reviews. Etsy already sends them an automated message after their shipping deadline asking for a review, which we have no control over, so I don't like to add another message on top of this.

When do you send that thank you message, before you’re sending or along with the shipment?
Right after they've ordered.
Do you explicitly ask for a review if they have had an item for a few weeks?
