  Has anyone gotten one of these before and how did you handle it. Stripe recommends
I refund to avoid the charge back fee, but I believe it is a valid charge, however,
this is a first for me and I would like to find out how others handled this situation.

Thanks,
John


Do the refund, let the customer know, so they can call their card company, and
then try again?

If its legit, they shouldn't mind doing this.



Crystal

I agree with Crystal. It has not happened to me (with PayPal at least) but that
is how I would handle it. I would rather lose the order then lose the money on
top of the Lego in the order if it is scam.

Is there any way for a store to see if they have ever had an NSS completed against
themselves?

  While this... USPS.

A simple international envelope $14 or such?
The same from here to you would cost maybe €3.

Which is why since maybe 5 years ago I can't / rarely buy in US; prices have
gone crazy sincerely.

I remember when we starting selling internationally our sales to other countries
made up about 30% of our business. Then shipping prices overseas just started
to go up QUICK. Now we get maybe 1 or 2 orders out of every 100 from out of country,
so from 30% to 2%. THAT STINKS!!

  Seriously? Light trans-black would have been a more appropriate identifier as
there is a noticeable difference, however there is nothing brown about this color
that we are now calling trans-brown.

Once you compare them side by side, like the one shown in the link posted by
1001bricks, you can see that old trans brown is very accurate.

  I went into my local Lego store today and noticed that Pick-A-Brick wall large
containers (boxes) are now $17.99. That's a two dollar increase from the
previous price of $15.99.

Prices have gone up but the selection of parts have gone down (at least in our
area where 3 Lego stores are relatively close).

The good news is that the cardboard boxes they now use hold just as much as the
cups. We purchased one and filled it with 1x1 round plates then poured them into
a PAB cup and found that hold about the same amount maybe with the box holding
just a smidge more. The advantage with the box being rectangular instead of round
means that they are better for stacking square parts like plates or door frames.
And they are definitely more gooder then worser for the environmenta.
