BrickLink Discussion Forum

Not sure if this is the right category for this message but I just received an
order for something that is larger the lettermail, but Bricklink classified it
as lettermail. I have instructed the customer that this isn't possible, and
I don't expect for there to be problem there, but I am wondering who to contact
so the classification for that item can be changed so people in the future don't
have the same issue?

Thanks for your help.

You cannot have a minimum buy for shipping internationally and no minimum buy
for domestic. You can only have one minimum buy value for the store. If you try
to do it through the shipping settings, it will normally offer whatever default
shipping method you have when all other shipping methods fail. So if you only
have an international shipping option above a certain cart value, you will still
get orders below that, but that shipping option won't be offered. They are
still valid orders though, in that they reach your minimum buy for the store
(of zero, since you don't have one).

Yes but no - see my post:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1464775

I thought you could set up a fail safe international method with a minimum.
If it doesn't allow you to buy, then there's no shipping method, then
the buyer won't be able to buy.

I'm not sure, never tried, no minimum or such here, but it seems logical
to me?

I don't know now, maybe possible you can. I don't ship internationally
any more to try.

But whatever they do, the default shipping if everything else fails should have
the international shipping destinations turned off.

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.

I tried for more than 20€ it shows "via Europe Zone 1 (DE, IT, FR, AUS)"

For less than 20€ that seems to be a manual "via Request for invoice"

So the problem is in the via Request for invoice method?

You should have a manual method for local, and a manual one for other countries,
with a minimum.
