  Hello,
in certain Lego bricks, single row, e.g. No .: 3004, 3009, 3010 etc. are there
in the inner "pins" which made of solid material and which with hole - is a distinction
here or is this neglected in the item description?
Would appreciate an answer very much
greetings

No, the BrickLink catalog does not distinguish between a hollow vs solid pin,
but you are free to add such information to your listings.

As I keep my inventory in a custom database which uses the BL parts and categories
as core data, I was wondering if there is a way to download the "Item Relationships"
as a CSV file.
Currently I am working on a way to complete MOCs from my existing inventory.
This means I load a "wanted list" for the MOC into my system and then I get an
output of which of my lots match the items on that list. As my inventory is carefully
maintained reflecting all part variants I only get the exact same part into my
list. For my MOCs I do often not care which part I am using.
E.g. if I have some
 
Part No: 92950  Name: Arch 1 x 6 Raised Arch
* 
92950 Arch 1 x 6 Raised Arch
Parts: Arch
on my wanted list, it would be nice to show also
the
 
Part No: 3455  Name: Arch 1 x 6
* 
3455 Arch 1 x 6
Parts: Arch
I might have in my inventory.

To implement this functionality I would like to use the BL Item Relationship
"Similar Parts with Different Molds".
Unfortunately I cannot find a way to download this information as raw data.
Any Idea other than entering these manually?

Thank you very much!

This colors not really exist anywhere...

It is used in watch links. For some reason, those are considered to be gear and
not parts, so they are not shown in the parts column.

Currently, BrickLink does not support USPS zones, nor has there been any public
indication it is being implemented. Up until now, the ability of Instant Checkout
to calculate correct destination shipping within the USA has been compromised
for Priority Mail (custom packaging), but not for USPS First Class Parcel.

BrickLink has supported the existing USPS First Class Parcel and the existing
"flat rate" Priority Mail boxes (small/medium/large) because zone calculation
was not needed.

With the 27 January 2019 USPS rate change imminent, we (the sellers) have no
automated method of calculating the correct First Class Parcel rates, because
a zone calculation will be needed.

The calculation of zone is documented at DMM 608.9.0 (in it's entirety).
If BL chose not to use the USPS API calls to get the zone number for a given
shipment, it is possible to calculate it based on great circle distances. See
the explanations for more detail.

Since BL has chosen to not use the API callbacks provided by USPS, they have
instead opted for database rate tables (which have to be manually reloaded each
time USPS changes the rates). The current table contains the 2017 rates. It was
never updated to reflect the 2018 rates.

Hi,

it's a pretty good idea, I'm facing another annoying concern as I have
a wanted list, pick some parts here, some parts there, then I got a few carts
with most probably duplicate parts on them with various prices and status.

The only way I found to deal with this is to open tabs on brower and compare
carts lot by lot, very very time consuming and error prone.
It would be great to get the benefit of using a DB like this:

pick cart A, B, D, F, G
click on a compare button

get a report page (like cart/wnated list) with parts quantity, price differences,
... then
choose in which cart we want to get parts then a single update (on each row or
global for all carts) to get super optimized carts .

  Hello,

I thought of a suggestion for the shopping cart:

Let's say you're ordering off a wanted list that gets broken up into
4 orders. So you've got 4 carts full of items.
