| | This is the biggest highway I’ve ever driven on!
|
There’s a section of the Interstate in Orange County, CA, where the 605 transitions
into the 405 as it merges with the 22 (Garden Grove Frwy). There used to be 18
lanes of traffic on that stretch of Hwy, 9 each way. Add to that, are two
major N/S bound Blvd's that intersect that same stretch, each with
8 lanes of traffic. So many are trying to get on, or get off within those couple
of miles
I still remember the challenge it was at times getting all the way over, especially
with the heavy truck traffic from the Port of Long Beach, using it too. If you
have gander with Google, it still may be the same chaotic case. It was always
impressive, that stretch of Hwy. Not just it's expanse, but the "Road
Warrior" feel of it too
|
And always working on some part of it. Past that mess a few weeks ago

I’m in the same boat—it’s like fishing. Must wait and wait!!!!! My scenario

did not get package.

A month ago we "received" a parcel from DHL, written received and dated
+ signed.
But IRL never received - at the exact moment it was supposed to be received I
could see the mailbox, no one ever came.
We opened a complaint and we've got the said parcel delivered... almost 1
MONTH later.
And it's the second or third time this kind of "joke" happen to us.
I confirm it can be genuinely NOT received whatever the post/courrier affirms.

Problem is he will not ask the postman or office by him. I inquired in my end
and they said “well it shows delivered nothing else you can do over here”.
I do understand sometimes the delivery system marks the package delivered but
only to show up a day or 2 later. I experienced this myself a couple times.
But a month later!!!! Wow

Me too. Been over a week. And provided all the details that package was delivered.
Even the buyer says it was delivered but not to him. I did hear it may be a
couple weeks

Is this common practice?
Or should I request the refund be done first before removing the NSS?

Can you file it?
|
don't think so
|
only way I can see going around this is after the product is verified delivered
then you would have to cancel the order --give feedback and NOT add it back
to inventory--then you can file it. but Im sure Bricklink would disapproved
of this

| | I had few assembled sets that I am disassembling, and on multiple times the reddish-brown

1. Anyone else experienced this?
2. Would TLG replace such parts?
PS. Most such parts are about 10 years old from the following sets
9446 - Ninjago Destiny's Bounty
7573 - Battle of Alamut
5887 - Dino Defense HQ
...

UCS sandcrawler for sure. No matter how careful I pull the elements apart most
just broke or crumbled (large and small plates mostly). After assessing the
damage I decided to just replace most of the reddish browns (even not broken).
No other colors were an issue on our set. Just reddish browns. So next time
we build this I have $130 of new legos to use in it) I wish I knew about the
free lego replacement

You know that’s pretty nice of you
I have had several NPBs and have done the same to those who at least responded
in one way or another (some I complete some I don’t and depends on the messages)
However I am right now in the receiving end of a NPB!!!
A German shop Speciale ( which I see now has had its difficulties with negative
feedbacks) had a shipping for 26 euro plus extra fees ,etc. for a $15 order.
For a total of almost 50 euro !!! I politely asked to cancel (this was in October).
Last week he gave me an NPB on this order and mentioned that I should know how
the quote works. Well —I did not and told him this and apologized—I do now.
Just never used a quote before (there are lots of things on Bricklink I still
don’t know about ) ok maybe Nubs knows everything 👍. I then asked him if I can
just pay for the parts and he can keep them ,resell them and not charge for
the shipping as I don’t want the legos anymore as I received them from a store
here in the US. —no reply.
Ok one other thing I can think of to get out of this is ask him to ship the legos
to a friend of mine in Germany which will be a lot less than 26 euro!!!! But
I’m sure he probably won’t want to do that either
I have given many buyers breaks over the years and why can’t I get one. 🥲
So if he is still silent on Christmas then I will have to decide to pay for this
stupid order to prevent a NPB and possibly negative as well or just screw it!!
And him
Ok—that’s it
