In my normal life beside LEGO I have to travel a lot. During that time I am not
able to manage any orders and my children are to Young to do this Job alone.
Now I have two possibilities at Bricklink which are more or less OK:
a) closing the shop completely - my experience Shows that it takes again a few
days after my shop is re-opened to receive some orders
b) using the announcement in my Settings as a dismissable message. The message
Shows when I will be back to ship the orders. I am afraid that the buyers can
oversee this banner although it's with red Background.
My Suggestion is to have a out-of-Office message like you can have it at - sorry
for using it here - eBay with a Shop. The buyers can see the message that I am
out-of-Office and that there could be delay during the shipment. And in Addition
the buyers are getting an additional message to their order confirmation which
was generated by the System.
The Advantages are that there are two ways of Information of the "delay" for
shipment and that the late shipment is not negative for me (Feedback System at
eBay).
I know that I could Change the auto-Messages in my Settings - but I guess I will
Forget to delete this sentence after return.
Any comments are welcome.
