You don't say in which exact cases it doesn't work (country, amount...)

I would NOT set min buy for the shop, as you did I think.

I would set min buy to the Shipping Methods, but:

* don't miss one (may arrive if you've multiples)

* type decimals using "." dot and not a coma "," or simply
avoid decimals (like 20 instead of 20.00)

I have a shipping setup for Domestic (works perfect) and a shipping for International
(only 4 countries included). Only for the international one i have added a minimum-buy,
because with all the documents its just to much work otherwise.

I did not add the ,00 - bricklink does it automatically when saving. It's
also the correct way (mathematically) its always a , never a . so i guess this
should not be the issue and can't be changed manually anyway.

But thanks for your feedback.

Mhm seems like prices are going up a bit

Stock up while they’re still cheap.

Only on permanent stamps, the price increase still applies if you'll apply
old stamps.

Hey guys

I just now started to sell outside my country after we got all the permits (yes,
you need some for some countries, like for what shipping material you need, at
least as a company you need it).

So anyhow, we added a min-buy for shipping outside our country, but it seems
not to be working.

How it's setup:

I have shipping for my country
I have additional shipping for 4 other countries that i want to ship to

The store has no min-buy
The shipping in my country has no min-buy
The shipping for the 4 additional countries does have a min-buy (20.00)

So i'm not sure what i do wrong and why its not working? Anyone any idea
or do i miss an important step?

Thanks for any feedback.

I get about 5 orders a month. I only use Paypal and Paypal has a shipping option
which I use. I print the label on regular paper and tape it to the box or envelope.
Not elegant and probably not cost effective, but it works for me.

  Hi, I am going to start selling Lego pieces. I'm not sure how to print the

a separate label printer? Thanks in advance for your help.

You print through the shipping software (I use pirate ship).

Any laser/inkjet printer can print on Avery labels (use 1/2 sheet labels or 4x6)
or I guess you can just tape the paper label to the package.
If you have a laser printer, I would not purchase a label printer until you are
shipping multiple orders a day. If you are using an ink jet printer, I would
purchase a label printer on day 1 (the cost per page is high with inkjet).

People will recommend various label printers, my experiences;
Dymo 4xl - my first label printer (replaced 2 times under warranty) - don't
buy
Zebra LP2844 - cheap (ebay) and reliable - mine is from 2001 - and it still works
great (changed print head once)
Zebra ZD420 - personal favorite (have 2) - wifi, bluetooth - finicky to setup
- workhorse and very fast
The Zebra printers can use generic labels, so the cost per page is very cheap.

  As a seller, is it possible to add the option of tracking for buyers, without
insurance?

I use Royal Mail 'Tracked 48' delivers in 2 -3 days, cost is same for
Large Letter upto 750 grams, and it gives insurance upto £150

I go online to Royal Mails website, and do the postage there, it's a little
confusing to start with, but it does get easier! Once you get postage done online,
it's a quick visit to the post office, they scan it and away it goes!

I have a dedicated printer I bought from Amazon ~ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Phomemo-Thermal-PM246S-Shipping-Compatible/dp/B0BX3CSK7K/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1WBFKI2RFJ24X&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qjrYPL5GVUODujSFPByXaaiKmvlKTzRGo3i-YblOh4fGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.PL0JFoXyp_HSm8jV1chXdjWWxTko32T2P5LLzxU8btI&dib_tag=se&keywords=pm246s&qid=1711650983&sprefix=pm246s%2Caps%2C245&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

I also bought a roll of labels ~ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08B3ZRCZF?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details

Hope this helps

Mike

Doesn't tracking always come with standard insurance up to a certain amount?
its when the value of the package exceeds the standard insurance that you pay
for extra insurance.

Yes but it isn't much. £20 for tracked parcels and £50 for signed for. And
it doesn't necessarily cover things like the condition of the box of an expensive
set if it is damaged.

yeah but OP asked for tracking without insurance which I believe is impossible
because tracked always comes with basic insurance (but yes that basic insurance
doesn't cover a big amount)

Not here. You can get basic tracking that has no proper insurance. Royal Mail
will refund up to a small amount for loss or serious damage but it isn't
actually insurance, it is compensation for failure in service.

You can offer what you like through instant checkout. Insurance is for you.
If you offer a cheaper method with no insurance and the buyer chooses it, you
are still responsible for refunding if the parcel is damaged and returned to
you. So add / charge for insurance anywhere you would not be willing to refund
on return.

  Hey all,

Hi,

  […]
- In the CN35 form, […]

Er, it should be CN22 or CN23.  I’ll leave the pros answer the rest of that one.

  - I found the link to print the VAT receipt for the UK order, but I don't
have that link for the Canada order. Is there a reason for that, or am I doing
something wrong? Buyer told me to not forget it, what can I do about that?

BL doesn’t collect taxes for Canada (buyer will pay at reception).  So there’s
nothing more to join than the invoice.
