|
| Hello There
With all the changes going ahead, can you please confirm which dimensions
are correct for the shopping cart in regards to height.
In the past Z = HEIGHT. Thus items processed well through large letter.
However visitors to bricklink are experiencing difficulties, they are not
able to proceed through the checkout with a variety of items that should
be suitable for large letter.
Do we need to manually change our dimensions, in particular for minifigs?
Please confirm what X = ? Y = ? Z = ?
Our store dimensions displayed in the shipping area for large letter
are as follows:- X = W : Y = H : Z = D see image attached

Thank You 😊

For minifigures, X is width, Y is height, and Z is depth:

Hi,
I have noticed that some of the minifigure packing dimensions are based on an
assembled figure (i.e. with hat/helmet on). This results in all three dimensions
being larger than 16mm.
Due to these dimensions instant checkout rejects the large letter option. However
if you send the minifure unassembled it often can easily fit into a large letter.
for example:
Has dimensions 26x43x17. which means that instant checkout rejects the large
letter option. (remove the hat and the item will now fit into a large letter
package.)
In this case the buyer had to select manual invoice and add a message asking
for the order to be sent as a large letter.
So the issue is should the packing dimensions for a minifigure be based on an
assembled or unassmbled figure?

For the BrickLink catalog, dimensions reflect the minifigure as assembled in
the catalog image. They also happen to be the dimensions used for the packing
calculation for minifigures. This was decided to be the standard by the site.
I am guessing this was because unassembled minifigure dimensions can be calculated
in numerous ways, but the assembled minifigure is usually one specific combination
of parts with one specific set of dimensions.
Cheers,
Randy

| Thanks 😊,
Will all minifigures be updated with the new dimensions
and is there a timeframe to get this done?
minifigures, X is width, Y is height, and Z is depth
Or do we have to manually change all the dimensions.
Thanks You

I have done something near 10,000 of them. I am not done, but it is getting harder.

Yes, all minifigures are being updated with dimensions. The timeframe is dependent
on how fast volunteers fill out the catalog with minifigure dimensions. Right
now, there are only 2,938 minifigures left without dimensions out of a current
14,350 minifigures in the catalog. So approximately 80% have been completed.
You can help fill out the remaining part of the catalog by measuring any of the
2,938 minifigures that haven't received dimensions yet and submitting them
using this form:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=M
In this way, you help everyone on the site instead of just your store. 
Cheers,
Randy
