Often various members of my local LUG get together and combine orders from a
store under one user. It would be nice to be able to split an order up after
submission to easily so who owes what.

Seller would not need to know or be impacted by the feature.

Each member could place their order in one unique batch and see if the seller
can fill and bag by batch (best to ask 1st). A bigger order might be worth a
little extra effort from a seller. I know that I would do it if asked.

I don't think there's enough demand for this feature to utilize resources
when much more important things are needed. Voted no.

Except that there are significantly more lazy sellers out there. This would be
easy to do buyer side imho and would facilitate the split when buyer won't
do it or store minimums prevent multiple orders..

Don't order from those ones.


I'd be happy to bag sub-orders separately.

From this Post you can already see that their are several sellers willing to
work with you and your LUG. Agree that Min. Orders could be a problem, if they
are to high (ours is $2).
Now the questions is who has the right Bricks you need.
Have a good night.

If you let the seller know that you would like to have each batch/update of your
order packed together then you would get the individual amounts and it would
be easy to separate them between each member of your LUG.
Every seller is different but we here at www.BricksOutWest.com would not have
a problem doing it for you.

Why not ask the seller if they will combine multiple orders in one package, then
place them as separate orders. Or as others noted, batch by batch. I don't
think it is a feature BL should be providing a special tool for.

I have done exactly that for a seller ordering parts for two different MOCs (with
two different BL accounts )

He kindly aked me to ship ordeers together but packaged seperately. No problem
of course.

We already separate batches into separate baggies in our store. Each individual
piece is bagged and labeled with part number, color, and quantity. Then each
lot of bagged pieces are put together in one baggie. So if there are three lots,
three baggies of individually bagged parts. We just figured it would be easier
for the seller to go through the order to make sure everything is there.

Heck, if you'd leave us a note with the name of each individual, we'd
even label the lot bags so you'd know who got what!
