  Also I know selling internationally
would increase sales by a lot

Just FYI: it does not



Really? Alright good to know thanks. I thought maybe access to more buyers would
create more orders.

Selling internationally did bring in good sales years ago but no more. The whole
reason is that shipping overseas is now just way too expensive. When we first
started selling overseas we probably received at least 25% of our orders from
overseas but that was when overseas shipping thru USPS was actually reasonable
but now for just 8 ounces they charge $17.10. Above 8 ounces it goes up to about
$27.00.

We now get maybe 1% to 2% of our sales from other countries.

It also very possible that someone purchased the set, took pieces out that they
wanted and then taped it back up as best they could and then returned the set
to the store they bought it from. The person you purchased that same set from
the store not knowing that it was opened.

This has happened to us at least three times when we purchased multiple sets
for breaking down for our inventory. One set was completely replaced with a bunch
of used Lego taped up inside the bags from the set. The other two times it happened
where someone purchased the set, assembled it and then partially disassembled
the set and taped the parts back up into the original bags and then carefully
taped back up the boxes, but, of course, did not put everything back in the bags
including some of the figs.

So, in short, it may not have been the seller that originally opened up the set
(if it does prove to have been opened).

Okay, I have the perfect solution for you. In your last post you stated that,
in part, you are "trying to enjoy the spending of my money". Well, it
just so happens, I really enjoy "receiving" money so if you enjoy spending
it and I enjoy receiving it, why not avoid all those pesky future headaches and
just do all your future BrickLink shopping in our store.

Heck, I'll even compliment you on how good looking you are and how very smart
you are after each and every sale to help make the whole "enjoy the spending
of my money" experience even that much more enjoyable!

Sound good?

Jim.

PS. I will even throw in free shipping on every 50th order. Well as long as it
is under 4 bucks.

We have a customer that filed a NSS against us and we have replied to the NSS
with the tracking number showing that it was delivered but we would also like
to submit a scanned copy of the purchased postage in a PDF format but do not
know where to send it. The "Problem Detail" page only allows us to respond
with a message but there is no place on that page to submit any other proof.

Does anyone know how we can go about getting a copy of the postage to the correct
person or place that handles NSS's?

If only the customer had contacted us in the first place then we would have had
no problem refunding the order total but they did not try to contact us thru
BrickLink or by email, just filed an NSS.

Jim
