No clue.
We have had around 10 of these in the past 3 months.

out of how many?

Maybe it is time to just go domestic?
Your thoughts?

My single oversea problem: The guy said the package (value $300) was lost, meaning
it was not in the post office indicated on the notice and tracking. He did not
communicate to me. The package got returned (destroyed) and I reply: Why didn't
you contact me on time so I contact the courier. Now there is nothing I can do
because the package is returned and will be destroyed. I cannot request refund
from the courier (a Canadian one) because the tracking says the package was not
collected by reciepant. His answer: no worries. This is not your fault. I just
wanted to inform you. I will request refund from our own post service and I did
not hear back from him as he did not want a refund anyway.
With what courier do you ship?
|
USPS. I did not count all of the overseas but I am going to guess that in that
time period we shipped around 80 packages overseas. So 10 out of 80. Domestic
200-300 and 0 lost packages.
|
Have you considered to ship with pirateships.com ? You may get a different result
(if they don't ship with USPS)

I understood your messages no problem. Curious what the reply was (and if they're
a seasoned collector or someone newer, as perhaps it explains the misunderstanding)

Great you understood. So to confirm, having read my responses, would you look
for these two boxes?

| ***Communications in French***
I think I'm just banging my head against a wall.
I have regular communication with a nice buyer and collector. He wrote me:
Bonjour [name]. Avez vous deja vu les boites 118-2 et 118-3 ??? Merci [his
name]
I answered:
...
Set 118-3: c'est un set vendu par Sears. Je crois qu'il n'a pas de
boite. Par example, il est possibelemtn etre vendu comme ce set:
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/kraft-lego-mini-wheel-set-dump-soda-1824610533
Set 118-2: j'ai aucune idee comment il ont trouve 118-2. Je le vois dans
aucun catalog. Ca peut etre une faute. La photo de sa boite sur bricklink est
exactement celle de set 111.
Bien a vous
His response:
Bonjour [name]. Avez vous deja vu une boite occasion du 118-2 et 118-3 ??
Car moi jamais. Connaissez vous quelqu’un qui en a une ??
My response:
Set 118-3: c'est un set vendu par Sears. Je crois qu'il n'a pas
de boite. Par example, il est possibelemtn etre vendu comme ce set:
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/kraft-lego-mini-wheel-set-dump-soda-1824610533
Set 118-2: j'ai aucune idee comment il ont trouve 118-2. Je le vois dans
aucun catalog. Ca peut etre une faute. La photo de sa boite sur bricklink est
exactement celle de set 111."
Donc, comme le set 118-2 n'exist pas, personne ne l'a vu ne plus.
Le set 118-3 exist main il n'a pas de boite. Il etait juste emballe dans
un carton ou quelque chose pareil comme quelque chose que vous pouvez voire dans
le lien:
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/kraft-lego-mini-wheel-set-dump-soda-1824610533
Donc, comme la boite de set 118-3 n'exist pas, personne ne 'a vu, personne
ne l'a et il n'y a pas de photo de la boite ne plus car on peut pas prendre
une photo de quelque chose qui n'a jamais existe 🙂
At this point, I am convinced either I did't explaing things properly or
I'm just banging my head against a wall.
Now, those who know French, please tell me if you were initially looking for
boxes of these two sets, what would you have understood from my responses and
if you would continue looking to find the boxes? What would you have answered
me after my two responses.
Once, a few of you French guys kindly reply to this, I write what his third message

| | I should have read the comments/feedback before buying from this one seller.
He left me a negative feedback after I left him a neutral one. Most of the comments
about him concerned his high price of shipping . My feedback to him was about
stuffing over 100 in two snack sized baggies. I tried talking to him but he is
very belligerent. Why does Bricklink still allow him to have a store
|
On bricklink, neutral feedback is almost the same as a negative one.
This store has received so far:
951 pos. feedbacks
7 neutral feedbacks
4 negative feedbacks
You left
279 pos. feedbacks
8 neutral feedbacks
2 negative feedbacks
If we calculate the ratio of positive feedbacks over total feedbacks, who should
be banned?!
Checking his feedbacks, it seems to me the problems of buyers were minor.
As for why you are upset, you left neutral feedback for several sellers because
you found that there were not enough number of baggies. This leaves a question:
why don't you ask a seller to use many baggies (and express your willingness
to pay for the cost) or even ask this before you place your order? This simple
step seem to resolve this in a simple manner.
|
Oh wow, I didn't even look at the OP's. Dollars to doughnuts they're
going to see their "members who have stoplisted you" number climb over
the next few days.
|
Yes dear Gambit57! Having written this threat, you opened yourself to being stoplisted
by potentially many sellers. Also, any seller who check your feedback history
(those high number of neutral and neg. feedbacks you left), might consider to
stoplist you. Forgetting about this, why do you need neutral fb to stores for
just this minor reason (that you could have requested beforehand)? Feedback should
help to distinguish professional sellers from bad ones. You leaving so many bad
feedbacks make good ones look bad, and disappoint them while they have done everything
correctly.
You can go to your "My activity" and check how many people have already
stoplisted you 
I recommend you to:
- retract your neutral feedback via this link:
https://www.bricklink.com/feedbackDel.asp
and replace it with a positive one.
- contact the seller and explain you wrote on the forum and learnt you were wrong
so you removed your feedback and replaced it with a good one. I would say "my
apologies" and request them to remove their neg. feedback too. I think they
would do that.
- I would even recommend you to contact Bricklink's help desk and request
them to remove all the bad feedbacks you left for the number of baggies they
used.
