|
| Incomplete sets listed are becoming more and more of an annoyance, for me at
least.
There are now numerous set entries where "new incomplete sets" take up the entire
landing page - or more. A lot of these consist of so few parts I feel they should
be in a different category (76125 is a good example dum-e and extinguisher are
+/- 20 parts in a set of 524 parts only 4% of the set)
OR
Is there a way to filter them out completely? The only option I can find is "exclude
from my price guide"
Also are they included in "6 month average"? if so that is a major concern
Surely New/Incomplete is intended for missing instructions/stickers/box not 96%
of the set!

| Would you please consider adding customer IP address country in order detail.
I've had a good number of orders going to freight forwarders usually in Delaware,
Florida and Oregon
I'd like to know what country the order is actually going to, showing the
customers geographic location based on where they ordered from would be helpful
Thanks

| I had to refund an order in full, due to missing sticker sheet.
Customer preferred full refund over partial refund.
The "check box" to file disappeared so it seems I'll never be able to remove
the refunded order from current orders.
Thanks

| Please list “Dark Red” and “New Dark Red” separate.
LEGO note them as different. They are very different and mixed up in one build
don’t look good.
Thanks

| @Admin Russell
This has probably been around before, my apologies!
Within international copyright law, i believe it states that copyright is automatically
vested in the creator. Unless rights are assigned (and/or reassigned) by contract.
Images supplied to BrickLink should be the property of the creator, however if
memory serves, BrickLink claimed copyright when BrickOwl emerged back in 2013.
Was copyright truly, legally transferred?
If so does LEGO group now own (or claim to own) said copyright?
OR do the individual creators of images still own Copyright?
Just curious, mostly interested in the images of minifigures being used and the
ability to use on eBay, individual stores own websites etc.
Thanks.

| The first is folks sending messages directly to my PayPal and BrickLink notifications
email address. Which I don’t check on a regular basis.
Wouldn’t it be better all round if the user email address were hidden? therefore
emails would have to go thru the message system.
Leads to the second. BrickLink notifications are often delayed by two or three
days, then they all come thru together. Which is why I don’t check that mail
box often. Fairly frequently I receive the order placed notification AFTER I
have shipped the order!
I check messages on site, every morning when I first log on.
Also would benefit BrickLink as it would be far more difficult to trade off site,
if anyone were so inclined.
Please give this some consideration, it works well on the other place.
Thanks, Graham

| OK another suggestion for y'all to consider: -
By simply adding a button alongside "store minimum"
the other button would be "lot limit" to "n" - where n is selected by the seller.
2 purposes,
1)allows a store to implement a number of lots limititation
2) stops a seller from tacking on loads of extra $$$ for # of lots
Simply, buyer would not be able to "complete purchase" IF their order did not
meet both criteria.
ie order needs to be ABOVE minimum purchase AND less than lot maximum
BUT then PLEASE crack down on stores adding lot charges - ie make it against
BrickLink policy,
Thank You

| I think this would be fairly easy to implement, with many benefits.
Please add to location at the top of store landing page (where the flags are)
Either or both. Town/City and/or post/zip code.
It would be nice to know where - in (my case) England - you are, and you me!
For example if it was urgent and you knew I was in Worthing, you being in Brighton
(15miles) - you could likely get parts the same day.
Or if it was a set it would save on shipping
I can't see any reason why not - PLEASE consider
Thank You
Graham

| It would be nice to see progress of suggestions,
ie at a certain point (# of days or # of votes and/or % of for and against)
at this point it should be reviewed by mods an/or decision makers and if decided
"worthy"...
escalate to Admin (I will assume Eric) and the outcome decided upon.
At the moment it just seems like: -
1). "hey - ive got an idea"
2). 3). ..... n). "that's good/bad" mumble mumble (grumble) in the forum
The end 
Next.
what say you? or will this just go thru stages (2 thru n) too? 
The End
Next

|
| I am aware the subject comes up periodically;
but to keep up the pressure, and to keep to what I believe was Dan's vision.
PLEASE stop allowing fakes being listed as "custom"
In my mind it is a clear: - a custom item will be quite simply an item that was
created from items manufactured (not necessarily sold or made publicly available)
by TLG
You now even have items such as "custom bricks" from Taiwan listed as custom
items - how do you know these aren't actually m*gabl*ks?
If not maybe made after hours in the same factory.
It's this simple: - if it isn't manufactured by TLG - it isn't LeGo, and shouldn't
be available here, there are other venues to sell such items.
You should be aware that TLG whilst not (officially) endorsing this site, certainly
do so un-officially - many times I have been referred to Bricklink for obsolete
parts.
Please return the favour - by NOT allowing ANY and ALL non Lego parts to be listed
here.
Thank You

| Dealing with stores with unreasonable terms
- that only become clear after being invoiced.
I would like to propose an extra simple step to the process of forming the contract:
-
step 1: - buyer clicks "complete order" (was submit order) - usually without
foreknowledge of invoice total (some stores, including mine make it clear but
a vast number do not)
step 2: - seller sends buyer invoice with demand for payment which now reveals
all the "extra's" that may have been hidden.
and the new step:- (ADD new "button" accept/decline)
step 3: - buyer either accepts invoice and makes payment, or declines - this
would give the buyer the option to not accept unreasonable fees.
Please consider this solution as I believe the only ones who would vote against,
would be stores that HAVE hidden fees.
"Extra work"? do bare in mind a buyer has spent some time forming the order,
very few fall thru (not one for me yet), they are only likely to pull out due
to unreasonable fees in the first place!
Having low prices and high added fees isn't the best business model for anybody.
I am aware of the demands from Germany - perhaps that would form the Global model?
Thank you Graham

| Author: | Graham. | | Posted: | Jul 19, 2012 08:20 | | Subject: | Please consider add reserve function to cart | | Viewed: | 176 times | | Topic: | Suggestions | | Status: | Open | | Vote: | [Yes|No] | |
|
| REASON for suggestion: - to improve buyer shopping experience.
PROBLEM: - items in buyers cart are not necessarily available at check out due
to another buyer placing the same item(s) in their cart and checking out first.
This can be quite frustrating if these items were what you went shopping for
and either: -
1) Due to store minimum buy requirements you were looking for other parts to
make up the minimum
Or
2) You had a complex shopping list
COMPARISON – With real world shopping - items in your shopping cart are certain
to be yours assuming you go to the checkout and pay.
SOLUTION: - Add a reserved function to the cart, so that the first buyer to place
an item from a store in their cart makes it unavailable to other buyers.
This function should have a default “time out” of perhaps one hour (similar to
abandoning a physical shopping cart in a shop – the items being returned to stock)
OTHER BENEFIT: - This will also have a lesser but beneficial aspect for the shop
owner, as currently, the only way a buyer will be sure to obtain items is to
place (sometimes) multiple additions to orders – which depending on the inventory
management system employed, can make for a more complicated and confusing order.
I believe this will be of benefit to the whole community!
PLEASE consider voting YES, AND adding a comment to keep this suggestion in view
and thus gain more votes!
Graham

| How about a temporary home page with bare bones info in several languages?
with a click here box to enter the real home page
It's possible many haven't looked at the forum, judging by the angry messages
that seem to be coming in.
Just a thought, regards Graham
