Look at the logo


You are looking at the wrong logo. See the better one at the bottom of the
page. The new 'bricklink' logo (boring modern design without character
or reference to its source) was designed by someone who didn't even get the
correct proportions of a brick. It bothers me literally every time I see it.
Sigh...



But neither this one, WARNING, this is selling fake bricks!!!
https://www.bricklink.co.uk/

In fact... maybe WE are selling fake bricks apparently

I don't print anything and send it with the order.

It's approx 10g CO2 to make a single sheet of paper, 2g to print it, and
the addition CO2 and various due to the fuel cost to ship it, plus the cost of
disposing or even recycling it...

Also, you may even get a non positive Feedback for doing this if you fell on
an ecologist buyer

  Hello,

In my honest opinion, your letter is a bit wordy and goes well past the fundamentals
that a new user would need to be exposed to. Some users may appreciate the information,
some users may wonder why they need to read a wall of text to just order some
LEGO.

Yea, I knew I was in trouble when I had to pull the margin down an eighth of
an inch to fit it all. I'm tucking it away for a while and will revisit
it with fresh eyes towards the end of the month. Ideally I can boil it down
to a third of a page.

  As we all know, getting buyers to reply to messages and/or leave feedback can
be brutal. I don't know if it's just me but my feedback response rate
fell off a cliff around early February. 83 orders and just 35 feedbacks which
drops well below the 60% rate most of us have.

I've had a few buyers with very high feedback numbers but they have left
___ZERO___ for other users. Those people are to far gone, so I decided to try
to tackle the problem with the new users.

I tend to get a lot of buyers with very low scores, so when I recently had a
few zero feedback users place orders, I decided to try something proactive and
drafted up this letter which was included in their package. Of the two I sent
it to so far, both followed the instructions. One even went back and added feedback
for other orders they placed. I sent my third one out today which is what prompted
me to go double check on the other two users.

And I know, I know, "don't worry about your feedback number more than
your feedback rating", but there are people out who see that number first
and assume that with experience comes better service and fewer hassles. It's
also just a few extra keystrokes of extra work to help improve the community
for everyone IMO.

Do you send "Thank You, Drive Thru!" messages?

I do, and I tried adding something similar in early February but it didn’t have
the images. As a visual person, that’s how I learn, so I swapped back in the
original text and made this. I’d have to dig through the orders to see what
the outcome was. I don’t remember user id but they had a very uncommon first
name.
