Looks to me that when Lego printed the tile the print was off.
You can likely request a replacement tile from Lego if it is a new set.
Also hold on to the mis-printed tile. Misprinted items can sometimes be worth
more money. (Although for a tile likely not)

2"x2" for most (1.5"x2" can also work), 2"x3" or even 3"x3" for larger ones.
Best thing is to have a variety of small bags.

1.5 x 2 in. or 2 x 2 in for most small figures. I then take all of the individually
bagged minifigures and put them in one larger 4 x 6 bag for the order.

As well as chain mail, if you are looking for similar designs it is also worth
searching scale mail and plate mail as these can be very similar. And due to
the new BF legs, chainmail as one word too.

| Hopefully you also have notified local police and the USPS. Porch Pirates unfortunately
have learned that there's a lot of Ring doorbells out there, and cameras....if
your packages are going missing from a mailbox, my bet is your neighbors also
are missing / losing stuff, and maybe they have camera footage or filed complaints
as well.
I guess you can't just reship a new order, and maybe give the buyer a courtesy
coupon or something, and hope down the line some thief is caught with a bunch
of Legos?
What's somewhat puzzling to me is taking a package from a porch is pretty
much everywhere petty theft, but taking something out of a mailbox is a federal
level offense 
Imagine 2 guys in federal prison. One says "how much time are you doing?" answer:
"10 years". first guy "so am I...I assaulted a federal agent...what did you do?"
other guy: "stole some Legos from a mailbox"

If you have more than 5 outgoing packages, the mail carrier is not supposed to
do an acceptance scan. 5 is the most they will scan, and none get scanned if
you have more than 5. Once they get them back to the post office, they will not
be scanned there either. They should begin appearing on tracking once they pass
thru an NDC sorter.
You have two options, one is to generate all your postage using PayPal Multi-Order
Shipping, and generate a SCAN form. The mail carrier will scan the SCAN form,
and then click YES, the number of packages is correct. Doing the SCAN form indirectly
causes all the packages to be acceptance scanned. The other option is to take
them to the post office, and ask a retail counter clerk to do a 'Pre-Paid
Acceptance Scan'.

I run camps using the original Lego Wedo. Some of our motors are beyond fixing

we will also be buying Lego Wedo 2.0 sets.(probably 10 additional)
Here is my question:If I wanted to turn my original WeDo sets into Lego WeDo
2.0 (we have 10 full sets of the originals), what parts should I eliminate and
what parts should I buy to make them compare to the new Lego WeDo 2.0 sets that
we'll need to buy? That would include instructions too, I imagine.
Otherwise, where can I find original motors?

I'm not familiar with WeDo but here's a good starting point if looking
to replace the original motors from the first series. This search brings up all
of the WeDo components (including series 2), so you can pick and choose to look
up the components you're requiring https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=wedo#T=S
As for knowing which parts to eliminate/replace to upgrade to WeDo 2.0, if you
don't happen to get an answer here, I'd reach out to LEGO Education https://education.lego.com/en-us/
They should be able to guide you in what the new updated parts are, and they
may also sell them directly on the main LEGO site.

Thanks for your suggestion! I have now written to them as well.

| PayPal holds you responsible for the packages until they are delivered. If you
are sure the packages were stolen, you should refund the orders. No need to force
your buyers to file PayPal claims, potentially aggravating them and thus increasing
the likelihood of bad feedback.
If I were your buyer and you proactively let me know that my order was stolen
and also refunded me I would leave excellent feedback because there was a problem
and you took care of it.
I never leave anything in my mailbox. I hand my packages in at the counter. On
the rare occasions where that is not possible I scan them in at the self-service
kiosk and put them in one of the big blue bins. My post office allows packages
to be left on the counter by the clerks but I never do that. If there's a
long line and the blue bins are full I come back later or the next day.

How long have your orders gone unscanned? I recently had batches of orders not
scanned in for 8-10 days before they started on their way. One order took 13
days to travel two states away. However, all of these orders did eventually get
delivered.
I no longer leave my packages for my mail carrier or even drop them in the box
at the station. We wait in line every time to get them scanned. Times have certainly
changed.
Sorry about your bad luck!!
Jen
