Thanks. Not applicable or not registered - are we allowed to do that? or are
the new silly rules about registering overseas now in effect?

Same thing. Block the air inlet and it should be hard to pull out. Not hard =
leaky part
If in doubt just try to MOC up something similar to a set and see if it works

Yes, it should. It's not a hydralic piston (fluids can't be compressed),
but a penumatic piston (gas, can be compressed)
But you should feel a decent resistance to compression and the piston should
not be able to pressed fully down (when the air inlet is blocked)
If you can press it fully down easily, it's leaking from the seal/top and
is defective

Hello Joerg,
The problem with the "Easy Buy" function is that there are no filters/parameters.
All you can do is click "Easy Buy" and it selects stores for you, from anywhere
in the world and regardless of whether or not the store offers instant checkout.
This makes the feature quite useless in my opinion. However, the wanted list
buy page that SylvainLS mentioned is essentially the same thing if you use the
"Auto-Select" feature, but it allows you filter stores by location, whether or
not they accept instant checkout, etc. This is much more useful in my opinion.
As a side note, the instant checkout filter will filter out stores that do not
accept instant checkout, but that does not necessarily mean that you will actually
be able to check out with instant checkout. For example, I used to have a weight
limit of 16 ounces for instant checkout orders, so my store would show up in
the list if you applied the instant checkout filter, but if your order was over
16 ounces, shipping would show up as TBD and you would not be able to use instant
checkout. Other stores only offer instant checkout for orders under/over a certain
value or only to certain countries.

The filters are on the Buy page: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
, the link is in the Want menu / heart-shaped icon on every page, or if you click
Buy when looking at a Wanted List (not EasyBuy on the list of Wanted Lists).
You’ll need to click the “Expand” link next to the phrase “Store Filters” to
see those filters.

Got one as well (yay?), also 0-FB user (order #16505080). I checked all the info
I could check on my side:
- As others already said, the name is simply not sent for that table row (so
no browser-side fix for some "tag-soup-like" error).
- The browser does report CORS errors for "manifest.json" due to a missing "access
allowed" header - although very sloppy, this is not causing the issue we see
here.
- I checked the info as reported by the API, there is nothing that is different
from properly-working order rows. Our internal software (which runs off of the
API) has no issues whatsoever.
- I can also confirm this issue does not seem to impact the order process (like
invoicing etc).
Niek.

| I do get the point. Like BrickWilbo siad:
Explain it's because the timezone you didn't respond earlier and saw
a negative feedback which isn't the way to a solution.
You would want to work on a solution by shipping the missing parts or send a
refund them.
So email first, try to work out a solution and if that doesn't work out,
file a NSS or review. How would you feel if you get a NSS or negative review,
before you even could respond or act on the matter?
Cheers and have a good one!

I am not sure you get the point. This is not about my order, that was only an

The point is: You might think you do right, but that might not be the case.
For another example: you, more or less, bashed the buyer from Korea (we all know
how to find the person in the feedback-system). And there was no reason to do
so. You thought you did the right thing, but now you own the man/woman from Korea
a very big sorry and you should remove this posts asap.
I hope you understand. You can make mistakes, please make very sure it was not

I'm always open to sort matters in a normal, positive way, so you could have

I have had 1 experience with you, so this one instance is likely not representable
for how you deliver. But my experience has not been the best to be honest (very
dirty macaroni, wrong color light grey bricks).
But I needed the positive review and did not want to have all the issues with
just a small order. So I did not pursue further.
Did you have a good look at what you might have done wrong?
Perhaps you did not realy mention the correct state of the bricks?
Some here only expect top quality when not mentioned otherwise.
I hope this helps.

A customer is not satisfied of 3 items of his order.

Normally spoken, if there’s something wrong, I’ll resend or refund plus a bit
more, for the troubles of the customer, but now I think the customer is aiming
