Brickset is a good way of doing that.

Hi all

As the number of sets/pieces growing, I need to start cataloging my inventory
to avoid double purchases.

Any recommendations for such program to keep track of inventory is appreciated.

Thank you

Hi!

As you're a seller, you can use "Stockrooms" here on bricklink. By default
there is only one Stockroom, but you can enable 3 Stockrooms in the settings
(A, B and C). You could use one of them for your personal collection for example
- that would be the easiest solution without any additional program or website.

Kind regards,
Michael

I just opened a shipping method that I keep closed to avoid confusion because
it allows an international customer to instant checkout using domestic shipping
rates. It is for international customers who have a friend or forwarding service
in the US, but I keep it closed to avoid accidental or intentional misuse. It
would be handy if I could limit that to a country or to a specific user.

Is it not easier to invoice manually for such situations.

Possibly. I used to get a lot of international orders made and then cancelled
because the shipping is over $20 over 8 ounces. Usually customers are willing
to pay the $13ish shipping for 1-8 oz, but rarely did an order over 9 ounces
go through. I so stopped offering wait for invoice for international orders
and capped the instant checkout at 7 ounces. Perhaps that is too strict and
I should think it over.

Yeah, I'm sure. I've stopped buying from the USA for that reason.

Maybe put a line in your terms about what it will cost for international orders
for a couple of weight bands and turn on quotes (if you haven't already)
to allow international buyers to ask for postage costs if they need to.

Is it possible to customize or change the thumbnail size when searching in the
catalog? I'm not sure if it's a setting I missed, but it would be useful
to when you're overlooking an entire line to find something specific.

The current Have feature is useless. It's the same as Want.
Easier is to create an Ordered Wantlist and move the items there until they're
received.

I actually find the "Have" feature to be very useful, though I would like an
"Ordeded/Purchased" feature too; I've purchased loads of parts multiple times
accidentally, as I'd forgotten I had already ordered them and didn't
check through my current orders properly. If I could mark wanted parts as "Ordered"
it would save me time. money and storage space.

That's exactly what the Have feature was supposed to do, but it doesn't
subtract anything from Want.

It does though. If you look in your Wanted list it clearly shows how many you
Want and how many you Have in hand. Now go to a store and select Wanted List
it shows sjhows your Wanted Qty (which is original Wanted minus Have).

As for Have - I don't want it

I just checked and it still doesn't subtract Have from original Want.
Usually I don't want to search for the original Want quantity but for new
Want quantity.

But I can not sort the list in that way that it shows all my incomplete lots
within a wanted list.

Go for the sellers with Instant Checkout. This is indicated by a lightning bolt
icon behind the store name. All added charges will be calculated realtime so
at checkout you see exactly what you will pay.

Normal sized orders from the NL to the US typically take 4 days to arrive. From
other countries it may be a bit longer, but anyway, a couple of days faster shipping
may not always outweigh the price difference.

If it does now, the Have feature probably has been tweeked.

I value predictable shipping prices and fast delivery. I don't know what
to expect when ordering from other countries. This is the biggest problem:

Seller will calculate S&H fees and send and invoice with the final price for the order.

Items will be reserved for you, and you will be obligated to purchase them.

There's no way I'm agreeing to pay an unknown amount of S&H when I don't
know what S&H actually is. I also don't want to send custom messages to sellers
and ask for pricing.

I don't want a hands-on experience in buying. I want an Amazon-like experience
where I know exactly how much and when I'm receiving my order. For this reason,
I always want to see US sellers only.

Quote system/Cart

Can we get the quote system/cart to be the same as the store cart?

As we all know with the Store cart when an item gets sold or the quantity differs
than you put in your cart, you can adjust the items in your store cart, or delete,
and your store cart is still active, and can remain active until you go through
with the order or empty it completely.

Can we get the quote system/cart to be like the store as well?

Rather than just losing everything in the quote cart when its gets cancelled
by whatever reason, and having to start all over again?

How can you change the Classic Layout. If you are going to make changes to things

We hate the way they removed the (My Order Note) line from under the order.

Now you have to travel way over to the right to see it, unless you have your
screen so small that you can't read it.

Please change it back.

At [My BL] [Settings] [My Order Settings] you can select how to show your order
notes: as icons, on the right or below each line.

May I suggest to also add gram (beside ounce) to your shipping table for international
shipment. Makes it easier if you don't need to use google to get an overview
of the weights

Hahaha, that is a good suggestion. I forget that not everyone uses "freedom units"

Funny I've never thought of that because I've often had the same frustration
when buying from European sellers, but in reverse.
