At least the drive thru one. I use the drive thru after my order is delivered,
so "...has been shipped" does not jive with "...has been delivered"

I would like all of the message template subject lines to be editable for other
reasons.

The only related suggestion I could find with our fine search tools was:

If there are more or even discussions around this, please feel free to link them
here.

  In my case I know that I want to buy from 3 specific vendors that have together
all what I need, but I would like to buy the cheapest or the new/used or the
bulk of the best one for each item. I would like to compare each options for
each item between those vendors and get an automatic select of the cheapest that
I could also adjust. It is important to see the price per lot and the total number
of lots to do manual adjustments.

I have the same need, but have found that nothing short of copying all prices
to Excel and adding costs for handling and shipment will get the job done. If
you have selected a relatively small number of stores and placed your most important
items in a wishlist without specifying the condition, then you can navigate to
each store in a separate window and press the wishlist filter option. By arranging
the lots in each store into the same order, you will be able to compare the prices
of used and new items across all selected stores (windows will need to be arranged
side by side). Any items already in their carts will be shown on that list. However,
you will manually have to update the carts separately on every page in each store.
Make sure you are comparing the prices for the same item in each store. Take
special care to select the desired total amount of each item in each store so
that you do not end up with unwanted duplicates or omissions by mistake.

  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.

I would also like to have in studio the ability to have a varriable color A,B,
C that we can after set to blue or red, changing all part accordingly. That would
allow to see if we can get them after importing them to a wanted list.

  Current issues: The "Buy All" wizard is not always optimal, so when I am looking
to add parts or minifigures, I want to use the same vendors, especially since
it's ordered by price. I have to have several tabs open to see with what
vendors I have open baskets in my cart and then browse through their oftentimes
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,
part or minifigure), add 2 icons for whether the vendor is in my basket already
and how many parts/minifigures this vendor is selling that are in my basket.



In my case I know that I want to buy from 3 specific vendors that have togather
all what I need, but I would like to buy the cheapest or the new/used or the
bulk of the best one for each item. I would like to compare each options for
each item between those vendors and get an automatic select of the cheapest that
I could also adjust. It is important to see the price per lot and the total number
of lots to do manual adjustments.
This step could also come after an auto select or manual select.
