| | When I first started selling I bulk ordered plastic deli containers from a wholesale
restaurant store. Great for small stores
I quickly moved to the plastic baggie
Each part has it's own bag, and then within that bag are the separate colors.
Each color has their own bag. Then all similar pieces go into one of those 18
gallon storage tubs. Example: all normal bricks have 1 bin, the modified bricks
have their own.
The problem is, it still takes me forever to go through the bin to find the correct
part bag, to then go through that bag for the color bag.
I can't afford enough drawers to have the drawer system I want.. but do yall
have any suggestions on what I can do now without spending a ton to help with
storage?!

I think the key is to both slowly evolve creating different solutions to meet
your needs, and also slowly investing in those solutions.
I started with Ikea toy storage bins (about 6 plus and kept finding them at garage
sales for pennies on the dollar), sectioned into 4ths with ziplock snack bags
for storage. This was a cheap creative option to start.
After 10 years I current have a variety of options to accommodate differences
in both quantity of items, size of item, or rareness of items needing pulled.
Currently have a variety of storage methods:
20 x 60bin organizers
20 x 39bin organizers
20 shoe organizers
30+ Large pickabrick cups
60 small dollar tree organizers (smallest parts)
25 medium dollar tree organizers
8 - 3 drawl sterile type organizers
30+ bead orgainizers
Most seller still use the 60 drawl type system because it just works best for
legos. The one pictured includes dividers saving on an additional purchase.

the state/province level.
Would it be possible to be able to search down to the city level, or perhaps
by distance from your own location? And would it be possible to add a "local
pickup" checkbox in sellers' store configuration pages so that buyers
could search stores based on that criterion?

I'm reminded again, make sure my seafood comes from reliable sources...
As for a need to know location seems a mute point. If you ever have tried to
do a meetup via Facebook, letgo, offerup, craigslist, or the like you will
know that your time and gas money is more valuable than a $4.00 shipping charge.

| | Hi all,
Recently I had problems with an APO/FPO adress.
Buyer pretend shipment to this address, but my Courrier doesn't ship to an
APO address.
After a few message I ask a new shipping addres, so he sent me a Japan addres,
and pretend the same shipping cost
I refuse, so he want to cancel order with refund.
I complete all, and today he sent me a neg.
Well, my I ask if there any chance to block buyer with an shipping address not
valid.
I hope to NOT offend anybody with this post.
Sincerely

Which courier do you use? DHL may not be able to deliver a package to an APO
address but Poste Italiane should be able to.

Good point Chicken - And I might be wrong about how the APO works, but in defense
of the original post why the negative feedback. It seems store likes to ship
DHL for its own reasons and can't complete the order. The Buyer is asking
a lot ordering from an overseas location from a Italian Seller, then not understanding
seller is not willing to ship items back to USA to then be forwarded back abroad
internationally to a APO location. I rest my case, retract the feedback.

No, that isn't the case. APO/FPO addresses can receive international shipments,
but they *do* have go through USPS. But that is typical for international mail
- the national postal service makes delivery after the package goes through customs.
|
USPS does not operate in Italy, does it?

APO and FPO packages must be sent via USPS (meaning only from locations within
the US States). It seems the seller was wrong in leaving you feedback because
you reside in Italy and could not use the APO / FPO address. Nicely ask him
to remove the feedback based on this information.
