I don't know if Bricklink actually picks a shipping method for you. I've
been selling new and used sets for a while, and I would advise that you don't
do instant check out. Have the buyer place the order, then figure out shipping
cost, because it will depend on where it's being sent. Then you can send
the invoice with your shipping cost. You can put a note in your terms saying
you'll figure out the best shipping method between a/b/c. It's a bit
longer of a process but I think it's worth it. Also, for used sets, I've
found a lot of folks don't care about the box, which makes shipping cheaper
and easier. If you put a note on your listings saying there's an option to
exclude the box (for used sets only, of course), you'd be surprised by how
many ppl don't really care about the box.

I have found that pirate ship is a pretty good way of figuring out the best method,
providing you have a scale and know the size of the package.

Hello,
Total novice here.
I’m a new seller and I have lots of new and complete used sets available for
sale.
Some of them are very heavy like the UCS Razor Crest.
I’ve got USPS Ground Advantage as my first shipping option. At the Post Office
they told me that is all I can use (other than priority)
Then I have UPS Ground as my second shipping option.
I set it up that way because I think UPS Ground is more affordable than USPS
Ground Advantage once you reach a certain weight so UPS is better for those heavier
sets.
Assuming I’m correct (and there’s certainly the chance I’m not), will Bricklink
choose the shipping option that is the least expensive per the weight of the
set?
What is the best way to get accurate shipping costs in advance of a sale?
Thanks.

Unbelievable, searched for pulley, holder, winch whatever, no way, Technic, Minifigure

This one?

30229 Minifigure, Utensil Zipline Trolley with Wheel and Handle
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil {Dark Gray}

Oh gosh!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

zipline handle... please Catalog people, add "pulley" or something simple
to find in the description!

Is this 1001bricks? They don’t forget about simple items like that

Right?? Youd think with over 50k of FB's theyed know all parts.

That's the point, it's just I couldn't locate its reference using
pulley, holder and few other words... I looked at Utensils, but of course, being
the last one ("z"ipline) I missed it. I tried Google pic, but the small
picture couldn't find it. I tried searching on Google like "LEGO pulley",
no way. And of course I didn't have this part on hand, just a demand for
this picture of a build to create on Studio

Anyway...

Sure it'd help to add to its name something more generic than zipline would
help to locate it.

I changed the name so that it states exactly what it is. Since it has nothing
to do with pulleys, I don't feel that the word "pulley" should be
added.

Cheers,
Randy

Love it - and for sure it has a wheel and a handle, thank you!

Please make changes to the following inventory:

76190-1 (Inv) Iron Man: Iron Monger Mayhem
468 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2021
Sets: Super Heroes: The Infinity Saga

* Add 2 Part 6005pb018L Dark Bluish Gray Arch 1 x 3 x 2 Curved Top with Black Dots and Circles Pattern Model Left Side (Sticker) - Set 76190 (Alternate)

Comments from Submitter:
Left is included, but right not.

The proper procedure to add stickered parts to BrickLink and set inventories
is as follows:

(1) Add the stickered parts to the BrickLink catalog:

https://www.bricklink.com/wantedCatalog.asp?catType=P

Help on adding items to the BrickLink catalog:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=71

(2) Add images to the BrickLink catalog for the stickered parts:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page?itemType=P

Help on adding images to the BrickLink catalog:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=87

(3) Fill out an Inventory Change Request to add the stickered parts to the set
inventories after they are approved by a Catalog Associate or Catalog Administrator:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChange.asp?itemType=S

----------

The following videos are great tutorials for the process:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1191009

There is also a great tutorial that BrickLink member jennnifer created to help
others with this process:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kdlqdrmu5u2gm7odvmn2a/How-to-Stickers.pdf?rlkey=zx9ohb9cyag6scheeo4fc80d3&dl=0

------------------------

The request to add the stickered part for the left side instead of the stickered
part for the right side cannot be approved.

Comments from Submitter:
This might be serving as a placeholder. I got my minifig from sealed 2849. He is also in 1068-1, which is the same set released 2 years later and then he is in 3 board games from 2001-2. Used copies I can see of the 2001 game still show italics. Do we actually need to split him or can we hand wave this?

Placeholder for now. We don't need to rush anything here.
