Hello there! When setting up shipping, does the weight margin apply to just the
weight of the items or to the item weight plus the base weight? So, if the base
weight is 1oz and the items purchased totals 5oz, would a 10% weight margin apply
to 5oz or 6oz?

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

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.

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.

Hi, I am going to start selling Lego pieces. I'm not sure how to print the
shipping label, Is that done through the shipping software, i.e. Ship station
or pirateship? Do you need to insert lables into your printer or do you need
a separate label printer? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey all,
I'm just attempting to start shipping outside the EU, and for the first try
I found a couple of nice customers (one UK, one Canada) who are helping me, but
there's still some things I can't figure out:
- In the CN35 form, where they ask me to describe the contents of the package,
that should be "used children's toys", right? Or do I have to mention
the Lego brand, or anything else?
- 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?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi
Had a package returned by bpost belgium with a CN 15 label arked duties/vat
payment notice expired. This was originally sent on 8th feb. I have been shipping
to eu now for 6 months and have experienced lengthy delays through eu customs
but never had anyone returned for this reason before. To my knowledge the address
was correct as was the CN22 and the BrickLink vat receipt. So I believe this
is due to an eu customs error. Has any other sellers experienced anything similar?

Hi guys,

I've been looking at some parts I desperately need and the only seller appears
to be in Denmark but won't ship to Canada. Therefore, I'm hoping someone
in the UK or EU can help me get these parts and forward them on to me in Canada.

If anyone can help, drop me a message. I've tried contacting the seller,
but to no avail.

Thank you.

-Todd

I have two buyers today getting the same error message - "item does not
fit in the package"

I cannot see where I have set any limits, and have sold large sets before today.

Any suggestions / advice?

Is there any kind of work around using the Courier API where you can put in different
box dimensions? The Priority Flat Rate boxes are smaller and more expensive
than the standard Priority boxes - and also come in a wider variety like the
7x7x6 box.

However it appears you're locked in to the predetermined Flat Rate dimensions.
I'm assuming these need to just be manually priced?

I want to start shipping to other countries. I've wanted to for quite awhile
but it feels like such a pain.
I'm currently using Pirate ship for shipping and tried filling out their
customs form but it seems like a lot of hassle to do it for every non-domestic
order.

Is there a fast efficient shipping service that makes it easy for shipping non-domestic
orders? Thanks!

I've created a new shipping method for capes and stickers only and I would
like the insurance to be optional below €20 and mandatory above €20 item value
but the setting I made seems to be incorrect since it adds the €4,75 fee for
both criteria by default while it was set to "by request" for orders
below €20. How should it be set up properly?

Am I nuts did the dimensions for sticker sheets disappear at some point? I
keep meaning to ask every time someone buys a sheet and I have to invoice them
since it won't go in to a standard shipping method.

Since I'll be pulling from that bin tonight I'll physically add the dimensions
for all the sheets, but I thought they were there back when I first started selling.

Does anyone know what platform Bricklink uses for their e-commerce platform?

More specifically, I use goshippo.com and I am trying to connect my store to
goshippo so I don't have to do everything manually. I can't seem to find
bricklink on their list of platforms/websites.

Help?

I just want to see if what I want to do is an option and I just haven't figured
out how to set up my shipping properly.

At the beginning of the year I updated my rates along the with the USPS. I don't
see an option to set up shipping by region. I'm in the central US so shipping
to each coast is not bad (with the exception of CA, everything seems expensive
in CA lol)

So I have instant checkout out for all of the USA up to 4lbs.

I wanted to have more realistic shipping for my home state and neighboring states.
It is about $1+ cheaper and less tiers. However when I use instant checkout and
test the options in my store, everyone's order defaults to cheapest shipping
and they have to manually check the other box for domestic US. So I took off
the instant checkout so it wouldn't be used by people who didn't qualify.
I made an invoice option instead with people in these states able to choose the
lower option. Bricklink then gives the lower estimate but I have to send an invoice.

No one has chosen this option even though I have received multiple orders from
qualifying states.

My question then, as a buyer, do people just prefer the instant checkout? Is
waiting for an invoice not that common anymore? Should I just remove the midwest
tier? Every dollar counts for me, but for buyers is it not worth the wait/time.
They just want to check out and be done?

Good morning all

This post is for sellers using Royal Mail in the UK. I am looking for any sellers
that have had a £5 fee applied by Royal Mail with an explanation of counterfeit
stamps being used.

If this is anyone then please do get in touch with me as I may have an opportunity
to get your money back and help solve this issue !

Cheers

Hi all,

Recently I had problems with an APO/FPO adress.

Buyer pretend shipment to this address, but my Courrier doesn't ship to an
APO address.

After a few message I ask a new shipping addres, so he sent me a Japan addres,
and pretend the same shipping cost

I refuse, so he want to cancel order with refund.

I complete all, and today he sent me a neg.

Well, my I ask if there any chance to block buyer with an shipping address not
valid.

I hope to NOT offend anybody with this post.

Sincerely

em
