You don’t need to talk to anyone, just fill in a change request.

You can also enter your own dimensions in your inventory if it is causing an
issue still.

You can set a max size restriction in your shipping settings.

| Hi
Just a quick heads up for those sellers who may not have noticed (LIKE ME until
today !!) that since the beginning of April, Royal Mail have reduced the compensation
on 'signed for' postage DOWN from £50 to £20. The main option to provide
cover over £20 is to use the new 'tracked' service (now up to £150 cover).
This new service was supposed to be available at Post Offices from the beginning
of April but it's been delayed so the only way at the moment is use the online
'click and drop' service.
Cheers
Steve

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.

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.

Not elegant and probably not cost effective, but it works for me.

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.
