it is never a problem to ask the seller after 4 days:
CHATGPT: "Hi, I was wondering if you could provide me with an update on
the status of my order? I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide.
Thank you."
but be more patient: with status and shipments.
look in the terms if you can find a clue for shipment times

| | Hi everybody,
I have an issue with a MISB order I recently placed (and received) and want to
return to the seller for a refund, but am not sure about how to proceed with
it if the seller refueses.
Upon inspecting the received set box, I noticed that the tape seals seem to have
been carefully unglued and resealed, there is MINIMAL tearing on the box (it
is actually visible if you closely inspect the box photo the seller sent me,
the photo is not from a good angle and lighting, but I paid no attention to it
then, I didn't want to be nitpicky about it - mind you, the set is from 2023.,
not a discontinued set).
I already have an identical set, also MISB, and I weighted both of them, the
difference is 2 grams - now, I suspect the seller might have opened the set and
took the minifigure out, but of course I cannot confirm it without opening the
set - and if I do, I doubt I can return it to sender for a refund since it would
no longer be considered MISB (and also, how do I prove that I'm not the one
who took out a part/minifigure).
How should I proceed if the seller refuses a return and refund?
|
I know this is a serious accusation (and also maybe even a fake accusation on
my side!) which I cannot prove or disprove without opening the set, that's
why I'd rather return the set to the seller - if I open it and discover that
indeed something is missing, how do I prove that I'm not the one who opened
it up and took a piece and also if I do return it to the seller the set lost
some value if it's not MISB anymore; I use a kitchen scale with 1g accuracy
Maybe I'm just too paranoid about the whole situation.
It is one of those sets you cannot buy from a LEGO store separately but you get
it as a gift after spending a certain amount of money, that's why I ordered
it from a BL shop.
I'll see what can be done with the seller, for now they are refusing a return+refund,
although their shop said nothing about not accepting refunds while ordering.
They have all positive reviews, one neutral, and not a single negative review,
I wouldn't like to ruin their praise.
|
It could be both.
Maybe, just open the set and build it.
That way you know if the set is complete (or not)
If something is missing so be it. Tell the seller and be happy what you get.
Reading your story it is not a big deal while it is a GWP from 2023.
This is what i would do.

| | RANT
Afgelopen maanden heb ik flink geshopt (30 orders in anderhalve maand) en helaas
heb ik heel veel shops gezien die belachelijk hoge kosten rekenen voor het versturen
van 1 of 2 onderdelen, zelfs als ze 'geen minimum cost' hadden ingesteld
in hun shop voorwaarden.
Vervolgens blijkt dan dat je allerlei onzinkosten betaalt of dat ze alleen versturen
met tracking.
Hé, dat is toch helemaal niet nodig?
Je kunt gewoon een paar onderdeeltjes versturen in een kleine luchtkussen envelop.
De envelop kost je 8 cent. De porto 96 cent. Als je met IBAN betaalt heb je verder
geen kosten.
Waarom dan toch 4,14 verzendkosten rekenen?
Ik reken zelf bij superkleine bestellingen 1,96. Dat is 96 cent voor de porto,
8 cent voor de envelop, 1 of 2 cent voor de sticker (ik zie helaas nog te veel
verkopers die handgeschreven verzendingen doen) en de rest - 80 cent - is om
de order handelbaar te maken.
Bovendien accepteer ik voor deze kleine bedragen ook PayPal, wat me minimaal
37 cent plus het bekende percentage over je omzet kost. Dus dan hou ik 80 cent
- 37 cent = 43 cent over als netto winst op de order. Dat is perfect voor mij
want ik maak iemand blij met een onderdeel waar hij/zij naar verlangt. Ik maak
deze kleine orders met plezier klaar.
Nog nooit klachten gehad over mijn verzendkosten en ik heb ook nog nooit orders
hoeven cancellen, of het nu van de buyer kwam of van mij.
Met dat laatste (0% gecancelde orders) ben ik, denk ik, uniek in Nederland!
Van verkopers die superhoge verzendkosten rekenen en dan pas na 3 dagen in actie
komen walg ik helemaal.
Sorry, dit moest mij van het hart.
Verder gaat het goed hoor: ik bestel alleen nog maar bij verkopers die normale
voorwaarden en prijzen hanteren. Je moet ze met een zaklamp in een donker bos
zoeken, maar ze zijn er.

Ha Martin en anderen,
Mee eens. Maar wel erg onduidelijk van postnl.
ik ben er 2,5 jaar tussen uit geweest ivm werkwissel en verhuizing.
Mede door de veranderingen met versturen en wijzigingen bricklink (IC) heb ik
het langer moeten laten liggen om alles opnieuw uit te zoeken hoe weer open te
gaan en in te regelen.
In verband met het feit dat postnl aangeeft dat je items nu niet meer mag versturen
met briefpost ga ik er ook vanuit dat het dus met brievenbus pakket moet.
Ik ben echter ook steeds meer van mening dat het met een extra laag karton als
brief verstuurd moet kunnen worden (de sorteermachines moeten, lijkt me tenminste,
niet tegen een bobbel aanlopen oid).
Is wel weer een klus hoe dat weer in de IC in te richten. Ook de aanstaande veranderingen
in de postnl prijzen en staffels geeft weer de nodige problemen.
Iets voor de komende vrije dagen denk ik.
Ook voor iedereen een goede kersttijd.
Groet,
Nico

| | Dear BrickLink,
What a great website! So much LEGO all in one place. I've begun to add my
current sets to my inventory. But, I've noticed that if I make a mistake,
and accidentally add sets or parts as "New" when they are actually "Used" there
is no way for me to modify that inventory. I have to delete the old inventory
item(s) and add new ones.
But, since your site reminds me every time I part out a set, there is no way
to bulk delete items from a particular set. It would be tremendously helpful
if we could modify our inventory, piece by piece or set by set, so that we could
change the status of a set/piece as "New" or "Used."
I hope this is something you can deliver for us.
Again, great site! It is my go-to spot for anything LEGO!
Enjoy building! Thanks!

Maybe try This:
Part out the same Set with the count -1 and the same (wrong) state (new) as
before then you get your original inventory. Then you can part out the set again
with the state used.

| Approach 1 for me.
In Catalog, StormChaser writes:
| | After considering the entirety of the Wheels category, I think three approaches
are reasonable (skip toward the end for the short version):
__________________________________
Approach 1:
__________________________________
Title Section 1: The word "Wheel."
Title Section 2: Theme, use, or both. See below.
Title Section 3: Actual, measured size of the wheel hub in the format
"10mm D. x 10mm."
Title Section 4: Any other information deemed necessary.
Sections are not separated by punctuation. For Title Section 2, the theme generally
takes precedence. Theme can be followed by use, as in "Wheel Town Motorcycle."
Although there are no firm rules for selecting the contents of this title section,
the preferred length is no more than two words. Themes should be loosely interpreted
into only a few basic categories (Fabuland, Space, Town, Technic, etc.) to reduce
the total number of themes and avoid more groupings than necessary.

Title Section 3: Any other information deemed necessary.
Sections are not separated by punctuation. For Title Section 3, this information
is only the information not captured by the tag system.
___________________________________
SKIP TO HERE
Here are the pros and cons of each approach, followed by examples already in
use.
For Approach 1 the pros are standardization and grouping of similar items (like
Technic or wagon wheels). The con is that 82 of the 212 wheels already use the
second approach.
For Approach 2, the pro is a very straightforward system, where every single
wheel is ranked by actual size. The con is that groupings of similar items will
be lost in the places where such groupings currently exist.
For Approach 3, the pro is that all unnecessary information is moved to a tagging
system. The cons are that titles will be visually lacking and the tag system
may not be robust enough to support sucking most of the information out of titles.
My preference is Approach 1. I think it makes the most sense given the current
system, even after tags come along.
I will say, based on extensive experience, that BL is highly unlikely to change
much in the Wheel category, at least not in any kind of timely manner (meaning
within the next five years). But I have the wheels and my wish is that everyone
could benefit from this collection. So I'll make a one-time submission of
the data and change requests.
The only question is this: which approach would members prefer I use to submit
the data? Thoughts or input?

Na een aantal jaar pauze willen we binnenkort onze winkel weer openen.
We zijn nu alles actueel aan het maken.
Een paar vraagjes:
Klopt het dat de shared shipping methodes niet actueel zijn?
We dachten dacht dat als je een shared methode kiest en de oorspronkelijke methode
wordt aangepast dat je dan met een update knop deze weer kan bijwerken.
We begrijpen dat de tarieven per 2023 weer gaan veranderen en ook de opbouw van
de tarieven.
Welke shared shipping methodes zouden we het beste kunnen kiezen om dit allemaal
bij te houden?
Graag tips om dit allemaal in goede banen te leiden

Things can happen.
I had an NPB last weeks. Suddenly 4 days after starting NPB (so the order is
12 days old, the buyer reacts.
There was an internet outage and his dayly business get all his attention. He
didnt check Bricklink and forgot his order. Now all was working again and he
give his apologies. He paid and I removed the NPB (will give positive feedback).
So the timeline 7 days plus 7 days is ok for me.

Hello Reci,
I recommend not to fill your region for Belgium adresses.
Belgium post can send you all with: name, street, nr, postcode and city
Example :
M. Dupont
Rue du Cornet 6
B-4800 VERVIERS
BELGIUM
Filling in Province/region is needed for country's as Australia and USA
I always check "how to address" before putting the address on the envelope:
I would prever BrickLink to make 1 field (with minimal 8 rows) as where the BrickLink
member can fill in the exact address as prefered for their own country. So a
seller can copy and past this 1 to 1 on the envelope.
In a lot of cases you have to change the layout of the address, because BrickLink
mixes the fields just in the wrong way. (as preferred by the country's rules)
I do the "how to address" step to avoid misunderstanding so that the shipment
arrives without problems.
Regards, Nico

I dont think this will work, it is very easy to make some fake accounts and

Maybe it is possible to add a sort of "verified account" status.
Only if an account is verified they can sell.
Or only If they are verified a red flag turns in a green flag. As long as a seller

The whole point of starting from 10 successful buying transaction is that they
cannot start multiple seller accounts to gain feedback.
Also isn't it better to make a scammer jump through some obstacles before
being able to scam? this suggestion makes the seller do some work to gain access
to selling where NOW he can just scam, if it doesn't work he opens a new
account and starts again- so easy. having to make 10 purchases will make the
person get a paypal account (most scammers don't have PP they ask for wire
transfers)
This idea is good because it is simple to implement- it won't solve the problem
100%- but will over 90%
|
I agree with you, your idea is great.
But why not going for 99,8% instead of 90%
I've seen scammers do more for less effort.
Also here on Bricklin; making several accounts, buying from each other for several
weeks and then at a sudden they sell the "If it seems too good to be true, it
probably is" things

everything would just be integrated into the main website.

Very interesting, never heard about this. (searched for a link but where????)
Is there a link from within Bricklink to this???
The first who can show me this link inside Bricklink (not from within MOC-shop
or Studio) will get a EURO 5.00 coupon . (valid only today)

Hi Nico, I've tried but I've failed too.
I look for all links from the "My BL" screen as that is the start point for everything
I do on BL.
I see in the menu:
- Help Centre
- Help and get this
http://www.bricklink.com/helpDesk.asp
Maybe the menu links need sorting out and that maybe part of the problem - some
messages ae being tracked by help desk and some not??

thanks for your search for the link.
As you stated the links from the BL screen should link to the right place.
What are they thinking about service?? Making a new ticket system and not
letting the users know about it. Strange!!!!

It has been posted on the forum (and probably by users, not admins), but I do
not think that counts.
When I receive a reply on one of my bug reports, that e-mail has a link "View
this Ticket online" that links to this page.
|
thanks for your search for this link within BL.
Sadly the conclusion must be: There is not such a link!!!!
Coupon still open!!! Who find the link??

There are ways to have the address checked against postal databases for validity.
Various websites use them.
If BL where to verify only the USA, EU, Germany, France and the Netherlands (the
5 regions with most members), 92% of the addresses would be verified. While
I agree that BL cannot check every country, verifying 92% of addresses is much
better than 0%.

This is exactly the problem: Buyers are responsible for the correctness of
their own address.
But BL can and must give the tools to fill it in correctly. (BL cannot check
it)
Do you see the comma between dutch post(zip)code and city??? (also in other
country's like Belgium there is a comma) such commas can cause problems
while the post company's are reading your shipping's with character
recognition.
|
A Dutch address doesn't contain a comma between the zipcode and city:
https://www.postnl.nl/versturen/brief-of-kaart-versturen/hoe-verstuur-ik-een-brief-of-kaart/brief-adresseren/
|
So why is BL placing that comma in your address: (see:https://www.bricklink.com/pref_general.asp?rD=Y)
|
It doesn't.  Perhaps you've entered the comma yourself.
|
you are Lucky
When you change your address the comma will be placed automaticaly
Didnt you not noticed the comma between the zipcode and the city in some of
your buyers addresses??

if an address is wrong/not in the right format there are more chances for delivery
mistakes

a new just arriving example:
John Doe

That's exactly what I mean.
if the buyer does not know and Bricklink does nothing to show the right address
How the seller should know????
The seller wants to avoid problems. If Bricklink there now helps with the correct
information it should go better.
BTW Not every order comes with paypal payment and logging into paypal to find
the correct address is unnecessary when the address is good in Bricklink

http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3001&idColor=7#T=S&C=7&O={"color":7,"cond":"N","ii":1}
that buyers can exclude from searches any and all stores that have any Minimum
Purchase amount.
I would like to suggest that this be tweaked so that buyers can input a dollar
value to exclude only stores that have a Minimum Purchase requirement greater
than the amount they input. As it stands now, ALL stores with ANY Minimum Purchase
amount (even if only $1) are excluded if the box is checked on this page.
Next, I would like to ask how many buyers actually check this box to exclude
any and all Minimum Purchase stores from their searches.
If many buyers exclude stores with any minimum purchase amount, sellers should
know this so they can possibly change. But I also think buyers should know that
if this is what they want, sellers are just going to require other things to
make orders worthwhile for them. These other things could be increased fees or
higher minimum shipping amounts. If sellers cannot price these costs into a minimum
amount of goods, they will charge them elsewhere.

Having the Topic view is helpful, but once you click on the particular topic,
it is just downhill from there as far as looking through messages.
I have seen many Forum websites with a more user friendly design. They start
out with a General topic and then are broken down into subtopics. Once in the
subtopic, each thread would be listed - and the messages relating to that thread
could be found by clicking on the thread topic, which is the subject of the first
person to post the message. Replies to that message would then be found under
the first message in a logical to read order.
An example of this more user friendly layout can be found at big-boards.com or
many other websites.
