BrickLink Discussion Forum

Hi guys,

I've been looking at some parts I desperately need and the only seller appears
to be in Denmark but won't ship to Canada. Therefore, I'm hoping someone
in the UK or EU can help me get these parts and forward them on to me in Canada.

If anyone can help, drop me a message. I've tried contacting the seller,
but to no avail.

Thank you.

-Todd

I cannot see where I have set any limits, and have sold large sets before today.

Any suggestions / advice?

USPS Priority Flat Rate and Priority boxes

Viewed:

86 times

Topic:

Is there any kind of work around using the Courier API where you can put in different
box dimensions? The Priority Flat Rate boxes are smaller and more expensive
than the standard Priority boxes - and also come in a wider variety like the
7x7x6 box.

However it appears you're locked in to the predetermined Flat Rate dimensions.
I'm assuming these need to just be manually priced?

Non-domestic orders.

I want to start shipping to other countries. I've wanted to for quite awhile
but it feels like such a pain.

I'm currently using Pirate ship for shipping and tried filling out their
customs form but it seems like a lot of hassle to do it for every non-domestic
order.

Is there a fast efficient shipping service that makes it easy for shipping non-domestic
orders? Thanks!

How to set up insurance properly?

Viewed:

105 times

Topic:

I've created a new shipping method for capes and stickers only and I would
like the insurance to be optional below €20 and mandatory above €20 item value
but the setting I made seems to be incorrect since it adds the €4,75 fee for
both criteria by default while it was set to "by request" for orders
below €20. How should it be set up properly?

Sticker sheet dimensions

Am I nuts did the dimensions for sticker sheets disappear at some point? I
keep meaning to ask every time someone buys a sheet and I have to invoice them
since it won't go in to a standard shipping method.

Since I'll be pulling from that bin tonight I'll physically add the dimensions
for all the sheets, but I thought they were there back when I first started selling.

Instant checkout question

Viewed:

113 times

Topic:

I just want to see if what I want to do is an option and I just haven't figured
out how to set up my shipping properly.

At the beginning of the year I updated my rates along the with the USPS. I don't
see an option to set up shipping by region. I'm in the central US so shipping
to each coast is not bad (with the exception of CA, everything seems expensive
in CA lol)

So I have instant checkout out for all of the USA up to 4lbs.

I wanted to have more realistic shipping for my home state and neighboring states.
It is about $1+ cheaper and less tiers. However when I use instant checkout and
test the options in my store, everyone's order defaults to cheapest shipping
and they have to manually check the other box for domestic US. So I took off
the instant checkout so it wouldn't be used by people who didn't qualify.
I made an invoice option instead with people in these states able to choose the
lower option. Bricklink then gives the lower estimate but I have to send an invoice.

No one has chosen this option even though I have received multiple orders from
qualifying states.

My question then, as a buyer, do people just prefer the instant checkout? Is
waiting for an invoice not that common anymore? Should I just remove the midwest
tier? Every dollar counts for me, but for buyers is it not worth the wait/time.
They just want to check out and be done?

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.

Advice on a delivery

Viewed:

126 times

Topic:

Hi everyone,

I know it's the responsibility of the seller to ensure the package is delivered.
And if it is lost, I am on the hook for it.

However, I had a customer reach out to tell me they didn't receive the package,
even though USPS shows it was delivered in the mailbox a few days ago.

Is it still my responsibility for the package once it has been delivered?

Any advice is appreciated.

Hemorrhaging Sales

That Norway is a signatory of EEA and not an EU member state, doesn’t entirely
explain it -

4 Euro vs 37 Euro

Same number of the same part, with the same cart weight of 2.70 grams. So given
the choice, I naturally purchased from the Norwegian member with what is a more
than fair shipping rate offered. I’d buy from both, but I’m done with having
to negotiate a semi-reasonable shipping rate and/or fees, with EU members mostly.
No longer worth the effort.

Straighten out your shipping methods and rates, you’re hemorrhaging sales. Or
don't and let others pick-up those numbers

Just some advise I've long held onto and now don't need to, nothing more.

Just one of several recent examples:

A buyer of mine just informed me that his order was out for delivery as of last

expensive (a single minifigure that was worth quite a large amount) and this
was the buyers first order. My question is: what does this mean? Has the package
been lost or just delayed or what?

Shipping big parts

Viewed:

Topic:

Hi,

I would like to upload the part 18193c02 in my store. However, it is a big one,
so I will definitely not fit into an enveloppe.

The weight is 109g so, if anyone buys it, the system will assign 1,60€ as shipping
method, and I cannot send it at that price, as I will need to send a box. I have
been playing with the shipping options, but I do not know how to fix the issue
and I do not know how to restrict this specific part due to dimensions. I guess
it is in restrictions and adjustments, but I have not been able to do it. Could
anyone please help me with this?

Below you can see some pictures of my shipping settings.

Many thanks in advance!!
