I have seen a lot of the darker pieces become brittle after time. The darker
hilts all shatter with a tiny bit of force. I have a lot of C-3PO torsos that
the arms will break on them if you rotate them. Maybe just me but it could be
other parts as well.

  Is the top part dark pearl gold?
The middle is pearl gold and the bottom is white.

Technically speaking no. Both are normal pearl gold and it’s just colour variation
but it’s not that rare for the darker to be listed as pearl dark gold (even if
technically it isn’t that colour)

Why can we not have all our messages go into our inbox on Bricklink? When someone
messages a seller who doesn’t have an order we get an email from BL with the
message. The message reply email isn’t even to the person asking the question.
You have to remove the BL email and put in their email or it will just go
to a dead box. It seems so simple to keep track of if we just keep all messages
on BL. It would even be better if we didn’t give out email addresses like most
other sites already block. They may also stop the spam we are all getting. Just
my 2 cents.

I have the even rarer version where one faces the right way the other is wrong.
Best offer over $500.00.

  I have a wrong side torso King of the Dead from the LOTR Pirate Ship Ambush.
The arms are facing the wrong direction and I found a forum about it on Euro
Bricks but I haven't found any other information regarding how to price it
on Brick Link. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It is working for me. See if you can add something to an existing one. If not
maybe you have to delete your cookies and try that.

I'm trying to create a new Want List, but it's not processing. Do we
know if Want List creation is currently off due to the data concern?

I called the PO in his area and the guy on the phone was a real treat. He was
reading all these rules and stuff and not letting me speak. I could tell it was
useless. It seems that they have a plan there no one else knows about.

No personal info on the forum, please.

Fixed the pic for you….

I asked my favorite local USPS counter agent about the new Ground Advantage when
it was released. She said they received no training on it and that Monday it
was released was the first she'd ever seen it on her workstation.

~Jen

I've tried to google the warning message on that label and it's not coming
up anywhere. Surely, if it was national USPS policy someone somewhere would also
have complained about it online?

This is looking more and more like a very confused local post office.

I did not but we use it. I shipped it through ship station. My Post Office never
heard of the issue.

Did you use Endica to ship the 4 Kama cloths which caused the backcharge of $6.84
to the buyer?

It had the correct weight and size. It weighed less than an ounce and was sent
ground advantage. The label was printed through PP.

Any ideas?

Yes, had it happened to me a couple of times. Flat envelopes with tracking number
are required to be sent priority mail not first class/ground select.

To avoid this add wadded up paper or other bulky filler into the envelope to
make the envelope not flat.

there isn't a service called 'Ground Select' .. it's called Ground
Advatage, it replaced the post offices former Parcel Post service, and yes you
can mail flat envelopes out as Ground Advantage with tracking #'s. they will
not automatically get deemed Priority as long as they are under the new 16oz
weight requirement.
ask the post office

I went to USPS and used the postage calculator.

Selected these parameters:
Used zip codes 90210 and 12345
Calculate price based on shape and size
0 Pounds 1 OZ
Large Envelope
"None of the following" for large envelope properties (not rigid, rectangular,
no thickness variation)
The only options are Priority Mail, First Class Mail, Media Mail

If you change the envelope properties to have variations in thickness, USPS Ground
Advantage appears as an option.

No it was 4 cloths in a cape box in a ziplock baggie in a 4x6 padded envelope.
So they are saying because it was flat it had to be Priority. I could have put
in an envelope with a stamp and shipped it but we don’t do that.

when you printed off the PP Ground Advantage label did it provide a tracking
#...?

you should call the post office that did the final delivery to the P.O. box and
ask them if it had postage due.
either the buyer is lying of the post office made a mistake & might have thought
is was something like you printed off a non-machinable label & it got deemed
priority for some reason.
remember... robots ae doing the sorting these days....

secondary question:

did the package you shipped in any way shape or form have any sort of Priority
pakaging material showing...?
either outside or minimally inside...?
if you used any Priority shipping materials & the post offioce seen it, it gets
automatically deemed priority.. .

I don’t think he is lying he has 2000 feedback. I think someone at the PO a messed
up.

When a shopper/buyer clicks on the contact button to ask a question and you get
an email from BL where does it go when you reply. It just say BL in the box.
Does it go to the person through BL? No one ever replies to any of them. I usually
send to the email in the message to be sure they get it. It would be nice if
we had a place where these went on BL so they did not get lost in spam and we
could keep track of them. Is there a way I don’t know of?

I just had a long discussion with a buyer on eBay who said that the Batman figure
I sold them was fake. When asked why they told me that the cape didn’t fit over
his hands. When explained to them how to put a cape on they argued with me till
the end. Some people are unwilling to learn or take advise.

I guess we need a new term for the endless chain of no-logo-equals-fake-consumers.

Where on the internet does it say no LEGO logo equals fake? WHERE?? Oh, never
mind. It's everywhere. I give up!!

The order is pending in PP. The label is not available in Ship Station because
it is not cleared. I just don’t want to be hit with a NSS because the last NSS
took me 7 weeks to have removed.

No idea why but that’s what it says. I would imagine it tells you the same thing
somewhere, no.

The wording is strange but it sounds like some kind of escrow thing, which I've
never heard of from PayPal.

I know the answer but how would some one expect you to ship before cleared payment.
The problem is BL has it as paid and the payment is not cleared. Oh and it is
99 lots. Here is their message.
