| I would like to be able to import my inventory into bricklink.com and see which
sets I can build, what is the completion %, for each set and which parts are
missing.
So I can quickly buy missing parts for these sets that I can build and then start
building new sets using the bricks I already have.

| I'm new to the Bricklink community. Probably like many, I was into legos
when I was growing up, then stopped when I reached high school and now have kids
of the right age so I'm getting back into them.
I've bought a few sets of missing pieces so far on Bricklink. What was built
here never ceases to amaze me. It strikes me that one thing that's missing
is a way for creators to make money on their own custom sets. There is a very
old discussion topic on Affiliate Marketing which doesn't look like it went
anywhere. This idea is tangentially related.
It would be great if a builder could encode their design into a bricklink shopping
cart and then when people purchase the legos from the shopping cart or custom
set, the creator of the set could get some referral cost of the legos purchased.
This could give a huge boost to the lego community by empowering creators to
design and sell their own designs and could help increase cost per brick for
the sellers. At the same time, it would allow the common builder access to a
much wider array of sets to build.

| Currently, BrickLink does not support USPS zones, nor has there been any public
indication it is being implemented. Up until now, the ability of Instant Checkout
to calculate correct destination shipping within the USA has been compromised
for Priority Mail (custom packaging), but not for USPS First Class Parcel.
BrickLink has supported the existing USPS First Class Parcel and the existing
"flat rate" Priority Mail boxes (small/medium/large) because zone calculation
was not needed.
With the 27 January 2019 USPS rate change imminent, we (the sellers) have no
automated method of calculating the correct First Class Parcel rates, because
a zone calculation will be needed.
The calculation of zone is documented at DMM 608.9.0 (in it's entirety).
If BL chose not to use the USPS API calls to get the zone number for a given
shipment, it is possible to calculate it based on great circle distances. See
the explanations for more detail.
Since BL has chosen to not use the API callbacks provided by USPS, they have
instead opted for database rate tables (which have to be manually reloaded each
time USPS changes the rates). The current table contains the 2017 rates. It was
never updated to reflect the 2018 rates.

| Hi
It has been quite a while since I joined BrickLink, and for new members is there
any advice/info forwarded when joining (i.e ensure that you read the Sellers
Terms before Buying)
Just had a new member buy 1 part for 50p (UK), for delivery to Slovakia. Didn't
think he would buy once postage etc added.
Just had a message, thought it would be free postage.
Not a problem, as expecting it, but obviously he was not aware or made aware
of how Bricklink works.
Is such a thing in place or could it be added
Thanks
TPR

| Hi,
Thanks for this great service!
As customer, buyer only, I salute the fix done to part adding to wishlist, when
chosing some attribute reset other attribute.
Still, there are several things to be corrected according to my flow.
One would be the moving parts to another wishlist, when some part already exists
in the same colour and a message saying already exists prevents that. I would
need a button added to that message to add the number of selected parts to the
list, if I decide so (meaning I did not duplicated an entry by mistake, but I
need more).
Another is the maintenance page. It overrides the browser's history and I
loose the page were I was. Definitely, in each case, I need to go back to it
when the maintenance is done.
Please take into account these suggestions.
Thank you and best regards,
Mike

| Is there any reason why a function to part multiple unique sets can't implemented?
For example it would save a huge amount of time if I could sort all the lots
from three copies of five different sets and pack everything away once, rather
than having to go through the whole part out process five times.

| I'd like to be able to search for stores within a specific range (ie 10km,
20km, 50km) from my postal code. Seeing that a seller is in a given province
(in my case) means they could be around the corner or 12 hours way in Thunder
Bay. Being able to search nearby stores would be a fantastic option. It would
be an option to opt into, whereby a store must enable the feature to show up
in nearby store searches. This would allow stores to disable the feature in
case they are uncomfortable with the feature.

| Hi all.
Suggestion ….
Feedback is not always left by the customer. Positive is left most times, and
a customer will always leave negative or neutral if there is something wrong.
One assumes that if nothing is heard from the customer, it must have been delivered
and was ok. Therefore - Can we have an automated positive feedback say after
2 months(or whatever length of time is felt suitable) of order being delivered
for all orders still showing as shipped. It could also be implemented if the
seller has not given feedback.
Thanks
Tracy
