The catalogDownload.asp page contains checkboxes for downloading year, weight,
and dimensions. However, it downloads stud dimensions rather than the packing
dimensions. Would it be possible to download the packing dimensions instead of
the stud dimensions or include both as separate checkboxes?

Freight Forwarders and sales tax

Viewed:

95 times

Topic:

Status:

Vote:

[Yes|No]

Up until now, pretty much all the freight forwarders have operated in states
that have no sales tax. This has allowed them to operate outside of the normal
rules. That is changing.

Last November, the Florida legislature enacted a new statute ( Section 212.06(5)(b)
) allowing freight forwarders, operating as a business within Florida, and with
the explicit requirement that the items being forwarded be leaving the USA, to
register with the State of Florida Department of Revenue ( using an Application
for a Florida Certificate of Forwarding Agent Address (Form DR-1FA) ). Florida
is legitimizing the business, and basically neutralizing the zero tax states
advantage.

This impacts BrickLink in two ways: first, BL's tax calculation system (or
service provider) will need to track these addresses, and second anyone with
a shipment to one of these addresses in Florida should (if properly implemented)
see a zero sales tax rate.

I am requesting that those (known and registered) addresses of freight forwarders
(regardless of state) be tagged and signaled so that seller's can choose
if they wish to ship to them or not.

Note that part of this issue (the sales tax rate being other than what is expected
for the state in question) also applies to some Native American reservations
(as I mentioned in another thread earlier today).

With Florida's aggressive move, I expect other states (and primarily those
with significant air freight connections) to implement similar statutes.

Hi

Can I request that you include a checkbox on the order sheets please.
When I receive an order I always check it off and it would be very helpful if
I can just tick a box for my records as I go along as when its delivered, it
doesnt come out in the same order as the list.
It only needs to be for the use of the recipient, but it would be a very useful
tool.
Thanks

Wanted list - color schemes

Viewed:

65 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

Vote:

[Yes|No]

Sometimes I find it is the case that I'm constructing a wanted list with
assorted parts and while not too particular about the color, it is nonetheless
important that some different parts be the same color, whatever it is.

So to facilitate that, I would suggest that one have the ability to specify a
color scheme for any wanted list. For example, say that I intend to build a
three color model, but I am not too particular about the colors. The only thing
I might care about, for instance, is that some subset of the parts be specifically
either all black, all white, or all grey, although I may not be particular about
which.

A color scheme for the wanted list would then look something like this:
A: unspecified
B: black, white, grey
C: unspecified

When specifying the desired color of the part in a wanted list, instead of selecting
a standard color (or "unspecified"), I could alternatively select from one of
the color schemes defined for that wanted list (A-C, in this case). In any
case, each color scheme letter would be a unique color, and all parts that utilize
the same scheme letter would be the exact same color. So if white parts were
found for parts using B, for example, then no parts using A or C will be white.
If one is truly indifferent about the color of the part, then one could still
use the existing "unspecified" mechanism. The important thing here is that during
autopick, all parts referring to the same scheme letter would always have the
exact same color.

The existing workaround to this is to create separate wanted lists that are otherwise
identical except for color, each wanted list looking for the same items, but
with a different set of colors. It is quite tedious for wanted lists with many
different parts, however, and I believe something like the above would simplify
that.

Exclamation on the order detail / part out

Viewed:

73 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

Vote:

[Yes|No]

Exclamation mark on the order detail and in the part out details would be very
handy if a part had a known variant. We do our best to match the specific mold
customer ordered but sometimes incorrect variant ends up in the storage bin of
another variant due to errors in the catalog or with sorting error. If you catch
your error at the inventory level it's still not problematic but once someone
orders a variant more than you have it's almost always more involving with
exchanging messages with customer.

Such exclamation mark on the part out details would increase the chances that
someone submit an alternative part catalog change request. (I don't think
it would be done on the legacy system but that addition of alternative part may
be simplified by just asking the user which part was included in the set instead
of what was shown in the catalog)

In the order detail page it would serve the seller to be extra cautious about
the variant, at least there would be higher chance that the situation is assessed
before the order is in the hands of the customer.

Originally I thought I needed to add some parts to the catalog, but I finally
found them! It took a LOT of effort! As an example, part 45410 says nothing about
variants. Some parts do, but this one does not. I finally figured out that by
going to the catalog tree, selecting slope, curved, decorated brought up a VERY
long list. Typing in 45410 in the search bar gave 0 results. Typing in 79120
gave me the parts I was looking for. It also does not work by dimensions, and
color gives you every mention of the color, not the color of the brick.

If you do not know the original set, this is almost useless. Can you please enhance
the search so that the color of the brick and the dimensions are selectabletime?
This would save HOURS of time!

Also, putting a reference on the original part number page to show the decorated
variances would be tremendously helpful, both to buyers and sellers.

Update order details after refund

It would be great if the order was fully updated after a refund.

In my case, I have three different types of bubble envelopes under one shipping
method, but in order to not undercharge shipping cost, I needed to add the weight
of the heaviest envelope. For small orders, this means often actual shipping
cost are less than the customer paid, so I refund the difference.

The order however is not updated, so the numbers are not reflecting the final
grand total.

When refunding because of overcharged shipping, the option needs to be selected,
meaning the Shipping cost field could be updated automatically, which could update
the grand total and VAT as well (if applicable).

For other types of refunds, the same logic applies and the cost of hidden and
the grand total could be updated.

I've been part of the LEGO buying, selling and collecting community for a

people are given is to try google lens. I use google lens myself but it is frustrating
not being able to filter the results by the term "Lego" sometimes results are
totally inaccurate for this reason. I know its a bold statement but in all my
observation I think i can speak for the entire Lego community when I say we would
love a bricklink app that combines a google lens type function for Lego and the
ability to head straight to bricklink without a browser. I have so many tabs
open in my browser for bricklink. i need to go their so often throughout the
day and now as I've just upgraded to seller i would love to get notified
if i made a sale or received an order. any chance something like this is already
in the works? if not can we start a petition to Lego or something like that?

When a seller refunds an order fully (when it has been paid by PayPal onsite),
allow the seller to cancel it no matter what status the buyer has set for the

to ask buyers to remove received/completed status once they have their refund.
Or allow a seller to cancel it no matter what the status is set at after a full

who keeps your Legos in areas where they can pick up offensive odors, or worse
wash them in scented soap, please list it in your terms. As soon as someone says

Hi

I dont know if this has been looked at or if it is possible to set up on here.
But has anyone looked at pay pal qr code payment as a method as I just noticed
the fees are a hell lot better than mirco and normal pay pal fees. This is only
available to bussiness accounts as far as I am aware of.

For down under (Australia)

Normal Transactions 2.60% + fixed fee ($0.30 cents)
QR Code Transactions – 10.01 AUD and above 0.90% + fixed fee ($0.10)
QR code Transactions – 10.00 AUD and below 1.40% + fixed fee ($0.10)
Mirco payments 5.00% + micropayments fixed fee ($0.05)

As you can see from the above the fees are way cheaper than both mirco and standard
transactions just food for thought.

massive stores to see if they have other items on my wishlist.

Suggestion: In a view in which vendors are compared (e.g., if I click on a set,

Hi,

It would be great the have the ability to set shipment options. In Switzerland,
Swiss Post can deliver parcels on Saturday. This implies an additional fee that
a buyer should choose at checkout.

For now, the only way to do this is to define a new dedicated shipment method
with the fee incorporated to the shipment prices. The buyer would have a new
option, beside the other methods, only to receive its parcel on saturday.

In my vision, a seller will set an option with a description and additional fees.
The buyer will have a checkbox to enable the option.

Thanks in advance for your read and I wish you a happy new year.

Related to this: When the "Refund" change was made to this page and caused many

This is driving me nuts.

It would be very useful as a buyer to add personal comment next to a lot or part

Currently it is possible to add comments only to the whole order after it has

Personally, I add pieces to an open order and keep it there for a while until
placing the actual order. Later, when I'm about to finalize the order I don't

On reading the help section and others posting re the same issue and being told
to post to the help area. I thought 1st this is insane that we been pointed
to a public forum that no one from the site is responding to from the site.

On further looking around the site I came across the HELP DESK hidden in the
help centre which took a few clicks to get too. From what I can see there is
NO clear and easy way to get to the HELP DESK to rise an issue ticket etc.

So my suggestion is to ADD a short cut to the TICKET HELP DESK up at the top

It would be massively awesome if BrickLink could implement a shipping test tool
for sellers, that would function as follows ...

Seller would build a list of test cases using pseudo destinations (minimum country
and postal code, possibly address as well)

Each destination would have a list of items the seller has on offer (or alternately
N-random items of a given type, like 6 parts and/or 3 sets).

The reflector would run on demand, in batch (like Notifications are run), then
email a report back to the seller telling them if shipping could be calculated
for each test case, and which methods were applicable and costs calculated.

thank you, Nita Rae

Lots Locations

Hello,

I really believe that an useful function would be having lots locations.

Explanation:
I use the "remarks" field to remind me where the items are, but I have always
felt that a little forced. The remarks should tell me other things, not where
the item is actually stored.

If we had a "location" field we would be able to split "remarks" and "Location"
so that one could do a research for all the items one has in location XX to verify
their inventory, and most important, when one uploads a new batch of that one
lot, they could merge also the location but not the remarks if they want to.

I believe that this would be really useful.

Every day there seem to be numerous threads created by studio users in the main

Why not advertise the studio forum with studio, so anyone needing help can click
through from within studio directly to the studio forum.

'Complete' stickered parts in set inventories

Viewed:

We have been piecing together Friends sets from a bulk purchase and came to the
conclusion it would be great to have some sort of tag in set inventories that
can be shown when a complete set of stickered counterparts have been added to
a set inventory.

Currently:
- You have to cross reference the stickered parts in the inventory with the sticker
sheet to establish if you have all the correct parts.

Once this suggestion is implemented:
- You would see that the set you are compiling parts for has something stating
'all the stickered counterparts needed for this set are included in the set
inventory'.

Then you simply head to that section of the inventory first and once you find
them all you know you have a complete set of stickered parts before you start
looking for all the plain parts.

Curious if anyone thinks this would be a good idea? If so then you are welcome
to add any other thoughts or functionally for the site to consider.

Paul.

I have sinned, I have taken punished, I have taken note.
It's okay so far.
But why without warning?
Why can't the sanction have steps?
For a user who has never been penalized, why can't the penalty last until
the error is corrected?
The first time without warning, a 1 month penalty is not fair in my opinion.

It should also be noted that I do not have a negative rating and I do not owe
Bricklink any money.
A mitigating circumstance may be that there are no negative reviews and I do
not owe money, and ratings given by customers could also be taken into account.

Hi,

Is there a possibility that a mobile version of the website will be rolled out?
Browsing on a phone screen is tricky as some screens pop-up out of the visible
area and it requires a lot of zooming and scrolling. Thanks.

Help Center - Reasons for suspension

Please create a Help Center page that enumerates the reasons (as displayed on
the store front) for suspension, and helps sellers to determine what needs to
be addressed.

Some reasons are rather obvious, but others appear to be a generic suspension
(without any specificity). Please help to pull back the curtain so that sellers
can see what the problem is. It may be that the reason needs to be made more
explicit on the seller's dashboard.

Enable/Disable column in shipping rate chart

Hi there,

Recently there was a change in pricing methodology change from the service we
got from our national post service. With this price change countries can't
be grouped together since prices vary without adhering to a certain logic but
instead possibly some marketing analytic s worked by the postal service...

such as this,

................Germany.........Austria
0-100 gr........6.21............5.41
100-250 gr......6.96............7.33
250-500 gr......8.18............10.56
500-1000 gr.....10.66...........16.91
1000-2000 gr....15.58...........29.69

So in order to have a proper checkout I grouped some countries and priced with
a bit of margin and priced those countries which I have a sales history individually...

Now comes the bitter part, in this pandemic, every now and then shipping to a
certain country gets closed. For me, today it's Germany & Australia...

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a checkbox in each column of the shipping
rate chart so we can exclude that zone/country on and off?

I've disabled instant checkout for international orders at the moment.In
the current setup I would delete the country that shipping is not possible and
later on when shipping possible re-enter the same prices for relevant weight
ranges... Double work...

Best regards,

Nejat

Parts sorted by rarity

As a customer, I would appreciate a new sorting option in every store's part
view called "by rarity". Based on the number of each item's availability
worldwide (e.g. by adding up all the items available worldwide of the respective
element in comparison to the average availability of all items), there could
be an indicator of how rare each item is that you are looking at.

Since my collection of parts has grown over the years, this option would help
me rummaging the shops for rare items or items that I likely do not yet own.
On the other hand, items with low rarity indication would tell me that I likely
own them already.
This could also help sellers to identify the rarity of each item they add to
their shop. There may already be ways to figure that out - not sure as I am not
a seller.

What do you think?

I think it would be incredibly beneficial to Bricklink store owners if they would
add a place to type in a promo code at check out. This would provide data to
store owners on which type of advertising is the most effective. Is there an
official page where I can make such a request?

Hello
Can you add some kind of automatic notification when some product is on sale?!
That contact you to your mail.
My case, I want to buy box for one set that I have, but at the moment there's
no offer of any kind, but there was and I didn't buy it. Now I'm waiting
for another offer(s). But do not always watch what's on.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Marko

I think it would be good to have a setting in the forum for sales notifications
to avoid seeing notifications of sales from stores that don't ship to you.

Especially as some of those sellers provide valuable non sales posts and therefore
don't want to block them and not see any of their posts
