  What do y'all do when the tracking says it was delivered but I never received
it? I am somewhat new to brick link.

Either it was sent to the wrong house or someone stole it. Thankfully, it wasn't
an expensive order and can be replaced easily yet annoyingly.

But what do you do with the order in my cue? Mark it as complete? It isn't
the stores fault I didnt get it.

Thanks,
John

Go in person to your local USPS with the tracking number, they can easily tell
you exactly where the package was delivered. Good luck.

  I don't buy the advents often, even though I think the trays are really nice.
Today, I splurged for the Star Wars and Harry Potter advents and received a
duplicate figure.

It was a nice surprise. 2x of this in one set:

 
Set No: 75981  Name: Advent Calendar 2020, Harry Potter (Day 15) - Padma Patil
* 
75981-16 (Inv) Advent Calendar 2020, Harry Potter (Day 15) - Padma Patil
1 Part, 1 Minifigure, 2020
Sets: Holiday & Event: Advent Sub-Set: Harry Potter

I've seen this from several people on FB too. Possibly you have the twins,
Padma and Parvati. Both are the same except the colors of the torso and skirts
are reversed.

  Who is willing to start a search site to replace goatleg?
I'm sure people would be willing to pay a small fee to use it. I would.

What's it worth to you?

I'd pay $5-10 for a months access. Personally.


I don't use it too often, but when I do, I need it a lot all at once. So
I'd rather not have to sign up for a whole year.

I've hosted it here temporary:
https://avbricks.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/web/index.html

I just ordered a proper domain, so it'll move soon.

Thank you so much! I used it quite a bit, a great time saver. 😉
  
I think the costs for running this will be less than €20 pr year I'll
serve it for free for you guys, enjoy

  I had enough of these in the last few weeks that waiting 2 full weeks is painful
to complete them.

I don't mind the 1 week to pay before it is started. But another full 7 days
to complete the NPB is not necessary.

I would propose 3 additional days and that is it. Let us get our stock back
in our stores to sell to someone else instead of being held at our will for 14
full days when 10 is plenty enough.

I can't be the only one that feels this way and 14 days might have worked
10-15 years ago when access to Smart-Phones wasn't as widespread, but these
days, you can't go far without having the ability to respond. Thanks

I completely agree, 7 days to open, 3 days to close, with or without a response.
If they have time to respond they can use that time to pay. If they can't
afford to pay, they shouldn't have made the purchase to start with.

Also, to those sellers who simply cancel and move on, you're leaving yourself
open to a retaliatory negative FB and enabling a NPB to continue doing the same
thing to other sellers. I have inventory held hostage right now for a NPB, despite
the fact his FB clearly shows this is a habit. If those sellers had used the
NPB process, as they should have, he would have been suspended and my inventory
would be free right now.

Yes they can leave a neg, but 90% of the time it a a zero feedback buyer doing
this. When they get the negative back from the seller they will find themselves
at -1 and find it much more difficult to buy from anyone.

Yes 90% of the time it is zero or low FB buyers, but that really doesn't
matter, it's still an undeserved blemish on your record. This is strangers
dealing with strangers, IMHO your reputation is just as important as your customer
service and parts quality.

  
And I do agree that I am making the problem worse by not following the process,
but the process just plain sucks and I'm not wasting my time dealing with
it.

You're right, the NPB process sucks, but it's all we have right now,
so we have to deal with it. Otherwise NPB's are going to continue wasting
our time and tying up our inventory for nothing.
  
I wish I could figure out the instant payment for the single boxed sets I sell.
I know exactly how much they will weigh and how big the shipping box is for each
sealed set I have. But I am just too stupid to figure it out. I really wish it
would just calculate it for me like ebay does. I'm considering actually just
offering free shipping and having instant payment but I would be buried so far
in the listings I would never be seen.

As for IC, haven't even tried so IDK. I pull and recheck every part, weigh
and manually send invoices. I want to know everything is perfect and correct
before invoicing and shipping. Actually if they implement their proposed changes
it seems we'll be forced to use IC, which is why I've started exploring
other options. It sucks, I've been here a long time and really like it,
but if or when they do force it on us I'll be closing my store and moving
on. This nonsense of if they payed too much you have to refund, if they paid
too little you have to eat it, doesn't work for me.
