nothing happens, and I give up, but this time I will try again, since this one
really is a nuisance. I need to go over all of my shipping methods one by one
and change it every time I adjust my minimum order (and lose the old settings).
So, one more time...
Bricklink, please, remove this pointless restriction. There is no reason why
my minimum order can't be higher than my shipping method minimum orders.
The store minimum should simply override it.
In fact it frustrates the bypass procedure, because I cannot control which shipping
methods become available when someone gets the bypass password (not sure if they
get any at all - they might end up with none). Simply allow shipping methods
to have a low minimum. Should be a simple change.
|
It is also a pain if you temporarily want to have a high minimum order value.
|
Exactly. I just wanted to increase it for a week to catch up with errands, but
it makes me check and modify 10 shipping methods, twice.. I always hope I didn't
forget one when I'm putting it back.

To be fair the entire design of the shipping methods and chosen countries is
not the best. For a store with multiple boxes (we have 3 LL and 11 SP) it would
be a nightmare and a half to set up for IC. They got the design wrong and have
continuously decided against changing it. Design is key in development but understanding
the application from a users perspective is also a vital cog. When the site is
finally re-written, (if and when, of course) we hope things like this will be
taken into account.

Imagine my surprise to find out that this is still going on. I think it's
time for Bricklink to put an end to vendors, who for some reason or another(mainly
politics), won't ship too places that they don't like. Bricklink needs
to set a policy that simply states "If you are unwilling to ship to every Bricklink
user then you need to leave and sell your wares elsewhere". It's your site
not theirs - time to shut this down once and for all.

Bit confused here. All stores have a banner on their header which clearly states
whether they ship to me or not. If this store says they ship to you then there
may be a technical glitch - if not then you do not spend time filling a cart
only to find they will not ship. The store in question has now responded and
it appears to be a technical glitch.
As for forcing all stores to ship everywhere that simply is not feasible. Stores
are independent businesses and they make their own decisions on who and where
they ship to. Almost never a good idea to force something on people.

3 Swiss orders - no problems; 4 Canada orders - no problems No IC and no onsite
payment methods, works fine.
1 very unhappy USA customer who wanted some 'rarish items' and we could

Switzerland is not in the EU, so not affected by EU country VAT collection. They
pay any taxes on import. Same for Canadian users, pay on import.
|
And the question is by a UK denizen who wants to buy from out-of-UK sellers,
not to sell…
|
fully aware of that as well
