|
| Hi. Me and buyer decides to order cancelation.
Bricks was sended to me back. I full refunded them for buyer.
Problem is the status of order is "completed".
I think there is my miss. Buyer post me a negative feedback and argue with me
about brick condition. There was a few chipper bricks with "Bite marks"
and "yellowish" remarks. Customer ask me, she don't know about this
and posted me negative feedback.
Please help.

Which parts have been on a PAB wall that have not been released? The BAM minifig
parts get catalogued and I cannot remember any examples of parts from PAB walls
that have never been released. Even if there were other legitimate routes for
other unreleased parts, it doesn’t mean all unreleased parts should be allowed

I believe a lot of Warm Yellowish Orange parts were recently released at the
Florida LEGOLAND PAB? They definitely were never released in anything else, and
they were most likely old product from the model shop that had been sitting around
for almost 20 years. There have been lots of legitimate ways over the course
of LEGO history to obtain many rare and unique items.

Yes from individual LEGOLAND centres (I also mentioned them earlier) but not
from regular PAB walls.

Parts like that are officially released, same with all the BAM exclusive parts.
They are not in retail sets, but they are widely available and catalogued here
as existing. Hence there is no issue with them being listed compared to the illegitimate
parts.

Possibly. There are a few fallibilities commonly seen with the use of the neutral
feedback here, all argue for it's "neutral " impact as I see it.

| You have to fulfill the wanted list yourself (aka place orders by going into
your wanted list, clicking "buy all" and having the system select stores/create
carts for you)
Then you place the orders and apply them to the wanted list once they arrive
and you've verified you bought everything; if you want to verify you've
purchased everything without actually having it in your hands, copy the wanted
list and apply the orders to it to make sure you've hit 100% of the parts
needed

It depends on the parts. If the parts you want are no longer in production and

I suppose it would be fine if it was in a different country so long as shipping
wasn't too expensive. Also, I did make a wanted list but no one had all of
it listed so I thought I'd ask if anyone had it all and just hadn't listed
it yet.

Whether the advise worked for you or not, a reply is the considerate thing
writ large for the wider community. It's not solely for you (and others like
you) that I personally take the time (when I'm able) to offer the needed
details to be of some help, but for the others that may be seeking similar help
within the forum, moving forward.
Please keep in mind that affirming or refuting the efficacy of publicly proffered

Not just about common courtesy, in other words.
How we learn best, is together. But to "put our minds together" we first

Please tell us which part it was that was removed. It could have been a mistake,

There is already a rule that sort of covers it...
Items Pending Official Release: Items may not be listed prior to their official
LEGO release date, either as custom lots or under related catalog entries.
These items have not been officially released, so these items are listed before
the official release date. Of course there might be no release date, especially
for night-shift parts, or there might not be a known official release date but
that doesn't mean that date would never happen so they are still listed prior
to an official release.
It would be interesting to know which part it was as the OP states they were
obtainable from a PAB wall, so this suggests it was already in an official store
and so would not be a night-shift type part.

this type of parts could be obtained in a legal way from a pick a brick wall.

Please tell us which part it was that was removed. It could have been a mistake,

Wasted time?
I've NEVER worked before having received full payment, since 2006.
It was our second decision after the shop name.
So remains taking 1 minute to make an invoice.
It's not really wasted time...
Otherwise what would you do else? Like to post in forum?

There certainly is an issue for sellers that have to go through the process of
making invoices and/or sorting for orders that are never coming through. On the
buyer side though, having your time wasted is an equally frustrating affair.
With some combination of restrictions, mostly the 'minimum average lot price'
it can be very hard to actually complete an order if the store does not have:
1. a reasonable amount of higher priced individual items that you need (animals,
minifigs, sets)
2. Very high quantities of items that you need.
I've had coutless times while making an order, sometimes being 30-60 minutes
in, carefully selecing sometimes over 300 individual parts and only then realizing
I can never complete the order for this store. The parts are too cheap to fulfill
the minimum average lot price and the quantities are way too low to compensate
for this.
This happened to me twice at the same store and I sent the store a very courteous
message inquiring why they had such measures in place and how they expect people
to work around this. It's been over a week and they haven't even read
the message.
As store owners in this discussion, maybe one of you can shine a light on this?

from USPS. TWO MONTHS! It's almost like the postal service is purposefully

jumps, then with a decreased level of service that borders on apathy.
The postal service told me that after it leaves the US there's not a lot
they can do, 'it's out of our hands'. Why offer tracking at all when
it's of little use? And when I asked them about filing a case for a missing
package, they tell me that it has to be missing at least 60 days before I can
file as a missing package. Insane, absolutely insane. Going to send a Christmas

I think it is sent on surface, i.e. in a ship. This is what couriers do when

But the Counterparts (items with stickers or images on them already) never get
included in the list. So I have to go to the Bricklist set Inventory and add
them 1 by 1.
There is a tickbox in "part out" for "Extra parts" but not "Counterparts".
Often these parts have the same Part Number as the inventory but with a suffix
"pb001" or similar.
Is it possible to do what I'm wanting?
|
No, there is no way to add Counterparts from a part out. There is no system to
link them to the parts in the Regular inventory and therefore no way to ensure
you don't add duplicate items.
BrickLink should add a separate feature for this specific process. But that would
require new programming... it's not likely.
I would bet it can be done with Brickstore? Perhaps an experienced user can weigh
in.
|
I confirm, you do this and more really easily with BrickStore.
|
As an alternative (although it's more work), here's how I do it: The
sticker sheet is included in the inventory, so I look at that first, and pick
out all the stickered parts from my stock, deleting the to-be-stickered parts
from the wanted list. If I find everything, I also remove the sticker sheet,
if not, it stays there as a reminder to get the missing things later.
You could also manually add the counterparts from the inventory I guess, but
bricklink is notoriously unreliable with stickered counterparts anyway, so I
prefer the safe way...
Happy sorting!

Based on a de-minimas amount of information that I am aware of ... When it clears
an ISC (Chicago, Miami, whereever) it is typically loaded into a shipping container
(ULD for air, probably TEU for sea cargo) then it is not tracked until the receiving
agency gets it, and finds the time to enter it into their system. Some national
post offices do better and some do not [1]. In any case, the national post office
should have a manifest of what is in a particular shipping container, because
USPS knows that. Somewhere in all of this is inbound customs inspections.
As a complete side issue (but still illustrative) over the last 6 months I've
placed 12-15 orders for electronics components from a large distributor in China.
All but the first couple of small orders went via FedEx International Economy.
Typically, the package would get to some FedEx warehouse in HK, then appear to
just sit there. But in actuallity, it was (sometimes) already in transit. I've
watched them transit thru Anchorage, Seattle, Chicago, and one or two other landing
points. A FedEx rep told me that the inbound customs clearance was happening
in Memphis. Tracking said otherwise. So it's not just USPS. I've seen
these orders take 3 days to move from HK to my receiving box, and I've seen
9 or 10 days. Unless I was willing to pay for the premium level service, it gets
there when it gets there.
Nita Rae
[1] and some countries, in less traveled parts of the globe, don't even attempt
to deliver to your street. You have to go to the post office (with fingers crossed)
and ask if they have seen any packages with your name on them. What we have here,
is worlds better.

Yes, but let's say I want to buy 50 of something, and a store I'm shopping
has a lot of 40. I will buy the 40, and then I can change the 50 to 10 in my
Wanted List. However, if another store also has 40, but they're in 20 lots
of 2 each, I won't buy from that shop. I would get the same amount, and
let's hypothetically say that the parts were even the same price as the other
store, but going through so many duplicate lots is tedious and annoying.
Additionally, if a store has a large amount of duplicate lots, it really makes
me think that that seller is quite disorganized; disorganized enough that he
could make other errors such as being short on some of the parts in an order.

The assumption is bricklink is the best possible sales interface and inventory
management system. I couldn't imagine amazon running a successful business
using this inventory system. How many inventory locations does Amazon have for
one item. The difference is Amazon has an independent inventory for stock room,
reciept of goods, shipping, order processing.
|
Okaaay... I wasn't comparing Bricklink to Amazon. I certainly don't
claim that Bricklink's inventory management system is the best possible,
but it does let sellers eliminate duplicate lots and even warns a seller when
creating a new duplicate lot.
David
|
I work with other stores buying inventory and I get a commission, off of the
lot/set/parts i purchased. so it would look like "Bin: MA 0034 80%".
If we merge lots it could dilute the cost that i paid. keeping it all within
bricklink minimizes errors and simplifies the process without additional fields
it makes this along with other processes more difficult.

Yes, but let's say I want to buy 50 of something, and a store I'm shopping
has a lot of 40. I will buy the 40, and then I can change the 50 to 10 in my
Wanted List. However, if another store also has 40, but they're in 20 lots
of 2 each, I won't buy from that shop. I would get the same amount, and
let's hypothetically say that the parts were even the same price as the other
store, but going through so many duplicate lots is tedious and annoying.
Additionally, if a store has a large amount of duplicate lots, it really makes
me think that that seller is quite disorganized; disorganized enough that he
could make other errors such as being short on some of the parts in an order.

The assumption is bricklink is the best possible sales interface and inventory
management system. I couldn't imagine amazon running a successful business
using this inventory system. How many inventory locations does Amazon have for
one item. The difference is Amazon has an independent inventory for stock room,
reciept of goods, shipping, order processing.

Okaaay... I wasn't comparing Bricklink to Amazon. I certainly don't
claim that Bricklink's inventory management system is the best possible,
but it does let sellers eliminate duplicate lots and even warns a seller when
creating a new duplicate lot.

No, there is no way to add Counterparts from a part out. There is no system to
link them to the parts in the Regular inventory and therefore no way to ensure
you don't add duplicate items.
BrickLink should add a separate feature for this specific process. But that would
require new programming... it's not likely.
I would bet it can be done with Brickstore? Perhaps an experienced user can weigh
in.

I confirm, you do this and more really easily with BrickStore.

As an alternative (although it's more work), here's how I do it: The
sticker sheet is included in the inventory, so I look at that first, and pick
out all the stickered parts from my stock, deleting the to-be-stickered parts
from the wanted list. If I find everything, I also remove the sticker sheet,
if not, it stays there as a reminder to get the missing things later.
You could also manually add the counterparts from the inventory I guess, but
bricklink is notoriously unreliable with stickered counterparts anyway, so I
prefer the safe way...
Happy sorting!

EU law? I don't see that you have a choice here.
|
Correct, and I accept returns. But as I offer an alternative solution, return
shipping costs would be on the account of the buyer. That's at least how
I see it. Would you agree in this situation?
|
If the item is damaged, the buyer should not pay for the return. Whereas if it
is change of mind, they should pay for it as long as you have made it clear in
your terms that the buyer pays for unwanted item returns.
I also wouldn't want to have to switch out arms in an old torso as a buyer
of it. If the buyer says the torso cracked when switching the arm, then you should
also then have to replace that. You could send them a replacement torso and ask
them to ship the one with the cracked arm back to you (at your expense) if you
wanted to switch the arm out yourself.

have something similar happen during covid. Parcel took 10 weeks with no update
to Europe.
On a different site I use UPS a lot and they have a habit of marking things "delivered"
and then actually delivering it 2-3 days later. They also sometimes forget to
scan things in transit. So that is fun.
Fedex is notorious for employee theft, crushing parcels, and of course, shipping
surcharges that are insane.
Honestly I don't know how all this is going to function a decade from now.
I've already lost the world market a couple years ago, which used to be 1/3
of my sales.
and I'm already noticing that most of my buyers on other sites are from
the states surrounding mine, which means calculated shipping is getting too expensive
to anyone past Texas in my case. I've been looking more and more into local
selling options in person, which of course, has its own set of drawbacks.

allow for multiple storage locations, multiple costs, multiple suppliers, different
qualities. However bricklink merges inventory management (supply chain) with
customer interface. So think if you could see all Amazon's warehouses, costs,
etc. But you don't , you say i want XYZ that's the difference, bricklink
doesn't support the proper inventory management tools with the customer facing

It's stupid because lot Remarks can be consolidated or appended, so you don't
need to make multiple lots.
But the more often the price's different for each of the same lot because
they calculate the value for each part out (for ex) depending the set buying
price...
I can understand this for big lots, like bulkers or big shops, who have multiple
lots of a few thousands parts - but I also hate it when I see it for lots of
1
or a few in qty.
About EasyBuy, it's already a huge problem to solve, so having to take care
of the number of lots and deduplicate, I guess it's a no go...
I also guess we're right now at the maximum it can do in term of CPU / calculation
time.
