| | I'm tired of not being able to ask for a quote on an item through the system.
Twice in the last day I have sent an email to a seller asking for a quote and
then have then change the price of the item. It's making me want to just
put through the order and then cancel if I don't like the shipping terms.
|
Changing price after an inquiry sais any about those sellers.
| | Bricklink really needs to swings towards the buyers in terms of usage. Take
care of the buyers and things work out better for the sellers. Catering to the
sellers just creates a poor buying environment.
And, of course neither seller will honor the price that I was asking for a quote
on. Of course not. If the thing is in my cart waiting for a shipping quote,
they shouldn't be able to change the price.
|
Unfortunately the quote feature is designed to cancel the quote completely if
1 item is sold out.

The alert is to warn you don't need to enter the store at all.

It alerts it's pointless to browse the shop further.
| | I can't help it, the second message hurts my feelings!
Is there any way we can make the messaging consistent with the actual reason
I can't buy in their store? (Country/Person?)

Both are different intended so don't need to be the same.

It would be against privacy laws.
The feedback from the seller is already available for viewing.

| | Hey folks!
I think this option is counter-productive for buyers. (See image below)
Sellers are allowed to turn off the display of cart weight in their store, even
if the buyer has chosen to see cart weight.
This means that if buyers are cost-of-shipping-sensitive, they have to manually
calculate the cart weight, or ask the seller for a quote.
Why force this upon ourselves when the website can automatically do it for us?
I suggest we force sellers to have the weight of cart shown within their store.
Thanks for voting!
Miffy..

Have you read the **note, item weights aren't guaranteed correct.

| | In my opinion the largest problem of the Bricklink page is that the final shipping
costs are often unknown till the invoice. It is much too late. I suggest calculating
the maximum shipping costs before the final checkout.
Let me display an example:
The buyer Alice orders parts which weigh 80 grams. The seller Bob states that
the shipping costs are 3 EUR up to 100 grams and 4 EUR up to 200 grams. Bob means
the TOTAL weight while from Alice's point of view the weight of packing materials
is unknown and never stated. This way Alice doesn't know the final price.
(Btw. I suppose it is against the EU law.)
Once I have come across such a case that in seller's opinion the maximum
net weight of parts was about 30 grams to keep the total weight below 100 grams!
Is it fair and clear?
I can see the following solutions:
(i) suggest the buyers to state their shipping costs precisely, in terms of net
weight of parts or dimensions of parts
|
The catalog doesn't have correct dimensions.
Postage for 80 gram flowers is letter rate while 80 gram of Burps is parcel rate.
| | (ii) apply automatic calcultion of maximum shipping costs on the checkout page
so that the seller couldn't apply higher costs.
The latter one is much better.
|
I would not prefer to be charged the highest rate automatically.
