Hi there - very strange

We add the tracking url to our drive through messages and it works fine.

This is the URL that we use, replacing the [TRACKING NUMBVER] field with the
Post Office tracking number.

http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/track?trackNumber=[TRACKING NUMBER]

That already looks better than mine.

But wouldn’t it be more nicer to mention the tracking number only in the drive
through message, and this tracking number is a hyperlink, on which the buyer
can click to get routed to the courier’s statuspage?

That above URL is pasted into our drive-thru messages with the appropriate number
in it (replacing the word tracking number) and over 5000 orders later we have
never had a problem other than they click on the link and the post office haven't
updated the information yet but that always goes away after a day or so.

Go to your postal service or courier web site and I am sure in their support
section they will have a list of the URL's to use with examples. That is
what we did

We still agree with you about smartening up the message capabilities so it can
be more of a marketing tool but at least you should be able to do this without
any problems.

Hello!

I mainly take payments by three different methods, PayPal, Stripe and IBAN.

I want to be able to accept any currency possible through Stripe, accept only
Euros and USD on paypal and only euros by IBAN. Currently you need to make a
note for all the payment methods, or only acccept some currencies.

For example, for IBAN, I'm sure that no one would pay in any other currency
than Euros, but I wish I would be able to tell buyers that they can pay in any
currency through Stripe, but not paypal. If I allowed all currencies, I'm
sure that a lot of buyers would mistakenly pay by paypal in other currencies,
even if I specified it in the notes. There is no way to really, automatically,
enforce that.

Thanks.

Please consider adding an attribute to the lots DB, specifically for parts, that
indicates the part has been custom modified. This could be a physical dimensional
change (e.g. Removing the clip from a plate mod 1x1 with clip vertical, to yield
a basic plate 1x1) or could be parts which have custom engraving to signify events
(e.g. Wedding, engagement, opening of a business, new baby, life milestones,
etc).

The title says 'catalog', but that is slightly misleading. I can't
image actually having a catalog entry for a custom modified part, when in fact
the entire purpose of the attribute would be to use the existing catalog entry
to house these parts, and to allow them to be found/suppressed (as appropriate).

The description would have to contain user entered information about the custom
mod.

Haha thanks for reaching out. Lol, I can see how it would be a pretty big ask,
but yeah it's pretty similar to what rebrickable would do.

Example: "You can build these figures with the pieces you uploaded"

And if there were an optimization feature which took into account the qty of
pieces you have and you could either tell it to "Build Max Qty" or "Build Max
Value" so once a unique head or something was consumed by a figure, it couldn't
be used to complete another.


I am in complete agreement with this. I have thought it would be a great idea
for years. Wish they would do it with sets as well. Might be too difficult with
sets but it would at least be great for the minifigures.

Possible kludge workaround is to go into the browser preferences, find where
you can adjust the fonts and sizes. Increase the font size. Then there should
be an option to override what the browser specifies. Save those changes. Go back
to browser window and use the control/command-minus keyboard shortcut to zoom-down
the screen. It won't be perfect, but may be somewhat more useable.
