Hi.

I'm not sure if this is indeed a Human error, or not, but I have NOTHING
in my store that is allowed to be sold due to no 'sizes' showing in the
dimensions format.

nothing is showing the weight, size (either in studs or mm sizes)

Have I done something or is it BL?

Paul

Hello?

all these views and no suggestions?

This is very worrying, as I cannot find ANY dimensions for ANY of tyhe items
in my store.

Even some of the items are within the catalogue, and they have no dimensions
( like a friends mini-doll for example)

I'll have to close my store in the meantime, to avoid getting queries from
potential customers.

Paul

Got nothing to add other than I've noticed the same. But as we don't
use IC, I honestly haven't been too concerned about it.

Inventory list shows 50, but I do not think that is correct. Closer to 45?

Just went through my instructions for 6086 very carefully, flipping back and
forth between pages to verify I didn't double-count any part. I counted exactly
50 1x2 Light Gray bricks used in the main build of the set.

Also, I inventoried the set before building it a little while back, and my part
count matched the Bricklink inventory. I then built the set, and there were no
extra 1x2 bricks, so I'm doubly sure 50 is the correct number.

To be fair to dchamf, these old instructions are VERY difficult to follow. Which
is part of why I love building the old castles and other large sets: it's
a challenge, even for an adult. (And especially for a kid... I remember crying
on Christmas at age 9 when I realized I had missed a few pieces at the bottom
of 6090 Royal Knight's Castle and needed to take it apart to fix it.)

I placed 2 orders 1 from Maine and the other from Florida. However once shipped
I realized 1 was shipped from Arizona and the other from California. I place
orders based on location closer to me for quicker transit. When a seller says
store is located on 1 state and it ships from another does this break a bricklink
rule? Has anyone else experienced this?

Are they coming from the stores you ordered from?

The only BrickLink legal way for a store to ship from a different location is
if they went to pull the order and realized that they didn’t have the part and
ordered it from another store so you would still get the parts.
I’ve done this for a part in an order when I was short one (damn you brittle
blue). But I don’t think a whole order would work.

Actually, I take that back. It's possible that extras would be needed to
complete one or more of the alternate builds shown on the back, even if they
weren't included in the instructions.

There are alternate builds on the back. I can see that that might be the case.
I'm quite sure that the basic build only needs 45. I have extras so I'll
just include them when I put it up for sale. Thank you for the information.

Not exactly sure what you are seeing and where but when I look at items in my
inventory, all the dimension text boxes are empty but the catalogue dimensions
are shown underneath each one. Does this help at all?

Not for sets that old. If only 45 are used in the set, did it originally include
5 extras perhaps that aren't used int the build? Or 45 exactly? Or is it
possible you missed a step somewhere?

Where did you come up with this number? Unless you can confirm via a sealed
box or other way, the inventory won't be change because you think it is incorrect
and then guess what it might kind of be.

Does LEGO post anywhere what it counts for pieces are?

BrickLink's current inventory came from an "unknown" source, which doesn't
tell us much. But at least it does agree with Peeron's inventory.

I followed the instructions carefully and built the entire set. When I tore it down, I only had 45 bricks. I then rechecked the instructions and counted out the bricks there and again, did not come to 50. So, the inventory is from someone counting the bricks in a new set?

They must have stock, but I don't believe the rules say that the stock has
to be kept at a specific address. There was one case where a seller had stock
in another country which could cause taxation issues, but that doesn't seem
to be the case here.

Also what is the difference in transit time like for those states? As often the
processing time of an order before it is shipped can be multiple days, so orders
from close sellers may take longer than distant ones.

I received a reply from a user that had multiple failed payment entries in my
list:

" I attempted to check out and purchase an item from your Bricklink store using
Stripe. However, it declined my card multiple times - I would guess due to it
being an international purchase. I ended up purchasing the item from another
Bricklink seller, so I don’t know whether Stripe would have allowed me to complete
the purchase if I had tried again after notifying my bank that it was an authorized
purchase."

Interesting - could well be the case that the card was declined due to its being
an international purchase, if that kind of purchase was out of the ordinary for
the buyer using that card.

why most of these cases I am seeing are non-EU buyers...
