Opening the file with Notepad, select all, copy, go the tab "Upload BrickLink

Oh it's not done yet? Sorry!
So, technically I still get a chance with her?

Indeed...
PD: I did take upload strictly and I suggested Brickstore because I know many
afols nowadays that don't have a computer at home and do all on mobile. And
some phones doesn't let you open XML nicely to be able to copy the content.

Funny, I know strictly no one who's doing BrickLink, BrickStore or
anything related to their LEGO collection or needs on a mobile... So my reply
was as biased as yours!

| | Hello,
Is there any country that does not tax Lego imports?
|
Yes, the USA doesn't. However, individual states charge sales tax.
|
USA imports are exempt under the Section 321 de-minimas rule, up to $800
USD per day. If someone orders a large amount of LEGO from a single non-USA seller,
and they ship it all in one package with a proper customs declaration form, then
the Section 321 rule does not apply.
The seller could, in theory, break it up into multiple packages and ship them
spaced out to avoid this.
|
Yes but...
"CBP can also deny the exemption if it has reason to believe that a shipment
is one of several lots covered by a single order or contract but shipped separately
in order to obtain the benefits of the exemption."
More interesting is then, and especially in the case of LEGO Sets, Parts or any
items (Plastic Toys 950300 or 95030035), what would be the import fees in USA?
Like some % for the Country, or local Sales Tax (+ duty clearance fees)?
|
There aren't any duties on 9503 items in the USA, generally speaking, so
I don't think the $800 de minimus limit of Section 321 applies. That's
for items that *do* have tariffs or duties.
|
Good to know, I shipped some big orders there and didn't receive any news
about extra payments as I feared.

Try with a small set whose part-out price you can check by hand?

Oh yes that worked! I chose a small HP set and compared the part out to how much
it would cost to buy the parts from my store. Buying from my store was cheaper
then the part out value. So to answer the question for the future, it appears
the part out value is the before sale price or base price.
Thank you!

Good to know, thanks for sharing!

| | I incorrectly shipped a BAM rerelease torso to a customer instead of the CMF
torso that was listed. An honest mistake and one that I apologized for repeatedly
and immediately refunded the buyer as soon as they pointed out the error. Now
they have opened a NSS case against me and are demanding that I ship them the
correct torso even though we do not have it in stock and have already refunded
them. What do I do here?
The buyer already attempted to negotiate the price of an element they already
received but failed to mention anything about the price of the element when they
made the purchase, only doing so just before receiving the refund for the missing
part. Buyer is also asking for a refund of $10 for the parts they felt were over
priced vs the market on top of sending them the correct torso they were already
refunded for.
Buyer has a 20+ year history on BrickLink and from reviewing their feedback,
they have the propensity, IMO, to leave negative feedback.
NOTE: Avg BL price is ~$3-5 USD, element in this color was released once as part
of a CMF, I have already adjusted the price down for the rest of the community,
I didn't realize it was over avg. Had the buyer approached this differently,
I most certainly would have too.
This is an ongoing NSS
Thank you for any input you may have on this, especially if AITA. I'm a one
Dad show working out of our family basement fulltime. If I'm the problem,
I want to correct myself.

| The countries you ship to is based on the countries you have in each individual
shipping method. Since you ship to the USA it means that one of your shipping
options here
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/shipping.page
has the USA selected. As to why they can’t checkout it looks like you only have
PayPal as an option instead of PayPal onsite. PayPal onsite is required for sales
tax collection so buyers from most USA states won’t be able to order unless you
add PayPal onsite as a payment option

| Hi folks.
I've asked BL Help twice and got no reply. I can find no way to add or remove
countries from the "countries I ship to" list, I can't even find
the list. It used to be easy to do, but now even though I've gone through
every submenu in the Store Settings I can't find it.
Also, Store Settings says I ship to the USA (I'm in Australia), which is
what it was set to before the changes were made. But for some reason when people
in the US try to buy stuff from me they are blocked because I don't ship
to them.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Roger.
