| | Hello,
I currently have two orders with problems and I'd like to know how much time
on average a seller should be given to 1) answer and acknowledge a complaint
and 2) solve the problem.
Problem 1) fake Lego received (a good copy so seller didn't notice). I immediately
notified the seller and he quickly offered a full refund which I quickly accepted.
2 days later and still no refund.
Problem 2) new minifig delivered with clear blemish on torso (more than a simple
scratch).
I immdeiately sent a message through Bricklink and photos by email. 2 says later
and no reply.
I know this is subjective, but given how serious the problems are (fake Lego
& flawed "new" item) I think it is only reasonable that a seller should act quickly.
However, I am not a seller so I don't know how much work running a store
can be.
How long should I wait before taking the next step (NSS? or Paypal complaint?).
How long should I wait before sending a reminder?
thanks in advance

Most sellers run their stores part time and have other 'proper' jobs
- obviously some of the larger stores do this full time so really depends on
the seller.
Personally I try and reply as quickly as possible - generally the same/next day.
But it really would depend on the sellers situation.
I think you need to allow a maximum of 7 days for them to reply, maybe a reminder
after 3 or 4 days if no replies.
|
Additionally keep in mind that it was the weekend and some people don't manage
and opperate on the weekend either. I would say 5-7 days before I send another
reminder/message.

What I'm looking for is a way to do a checklist of a set's inventory
without printing our i.e. wasting paper.
I'd like to be able to count the parts I have & then make a mark/check of
some sort & then move on to the next piece to see if I have all the pieces.
Thanks!

The easiest way that I've found is to create a wanted list from the set.
If you go to the set page, under "my wanted list" click "part out". Here you
can create a new wanted list specific to the set and you can use the check boxes
and other features to track your set progress. In the end, you'll also have
the wanted list ready for all the parts that you need to purchase.

Addressing this and similar posts: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1349983
From your end, how would you always know that the vendor “takes 2-3 days before
they turn it over to shipper”?
Just one of what I'm certain are several possible scenarios:
I take a deal of pride (those that know me would say to obsession ) in quick
order processing, which includes getting the package into USPS possession. I
do this by packaging every order and having it ready to go before invoicing.
Upon receiving payment, the label is immediately created and applied. It's
here the obsession kicks in, as I then feel the urge to drive it the one km to
our PO without delay, thus finishing my part of the deal I made.
Here's where the question I posed to you plays out: I only ever use the package
drop box in the lobby when open, or exterior when closed. Arriving home, I immediately
change the status to "shipped" followed by a Drive Thru message being sent with
tracking link. We all know how tracking lags, and the link may not show 'shipper
possession' for sometime, on weekends and holidays it can be days.
Does the buyer then feel like you, that I was premature, perhaps even dishonest,
in changing the status to shipped? It’s actually an honest question that I’ve
always wondered: How do my buyers really feel about it?
-popsicle

As a seller, I follow a similar process although I don't have the instant
urge to drive to the post office to drop them off. When I have an order come
in, I feel like I have to pull it right away. I don't get a lot of orders
either, so it tends to give me a few minute break from my full time job so maybe
that's the real motivation. Either way, I almost always ship the next day
via my mail box to my mail carrier. They scan packages on pickup and I know
they are in the system within the next hour or two. However, I still mark them
as shipped as soon as I see the mail go. I then flip the order to shipped, post
my feedback and send a drive through as well.
As a buyer, when I see a "shipped" for me it just means that it's left the
sellers hands. That could mean a drop box, at the desk or mail carrier like
I do. I don't think that it is dishonest or premature in any way, but this
also could be the way of the US postal system as well.

As far as I know, they are not the same. Paypal has it's on address information
that you fill in when you create an account there, similar to BL. You'll
need to "confirm" that they BL address is the Paypal address in order to get
the assurance.

You will have to make this adjustment on each shipping method that you offer,
that you want/need to adjust. If you go to your store settings - Shipping -
select a shipping method to update, then go all the way to the bottom to "Restrictions
and Adjustments". Under the "Package adjustment" select the drop down and then
add a "padding adjustment". Basically you are adding a buffer to be use when
an order is placed. Hope that helps.

You cover the cost and fix your settings so that it doesn't happen again.

There is a learning curve to getting started and adjusting the rates for shipping
especially if you are using instant checkout. One option is to only use the
invoicing method. Then you can pull the order, get everything packed and weighted
and send an invoice with a proper shipping method. Down side to this is that
you do all the work upfront and if the shipping is to high for the buyer, they
have the right to cancel and you have to break everything back down and put it
away again.

You didn’t actually paid anything yet. It was only an authorization check.
When the set will be sent (and only then), you’ll be actually charged.

Yes 100%. I had to do this for the first round. All you need to do is call

Hi Randy
I thought it was agreed not to do this as this wasn't really a Lego promo.
If I'm correct, it was WDR itself that did the printing to hand it out to

Same story here. I placed an order for myself, paid with creditcard, all fine.
After that I placed a second order for family using their shipping address and
their credit card, but via the same Bricklink and Lego.com account. Thinking
this was alright and within 'fair use'. They are not 'online people'.
I noticed after refreshing like 20-30 minutes later that my first order was cancelled
(I received the e-mail about that like 8 hours later).
In my panic that my own order was now gone and sets were all selling out I placed
a THIRD order and paid using Paypal. That order nog hangs in limbo, unprocessed,
no e-mail confirmation. Will now start the process of trying to get that resolved
and/or money back.
What a fiasco...
|
My guess is that all your orders will be cancelled as you ordered more that 1
from the same account. Shipping address doesn't matter as the same user
made the purchase and it was limited to 1. As for getting your money back, you
were never charged. If you used a credit card, there is an authorization that
is on your account that will drop in time and for Paypal, it's kind of the
same thing. With the PP system, they move the money, but Lego won't actually
process the order since they aren't shipping anything and it will automatically
come back to you. I did this for my order in the first round and I want to say
it came back in like 2 weeks or so.

I'm hoping they get caught up soon. I'm building a Black Falcon army
to go with the castle MOC I'm building from eight (or more) 3 in 1 sets,
and right now I can't get any weapons except bows or crossbows, no shields
at all, and only the full-face helmets from the blacksmith set. I ended up placing
three separate orders because on my first order I didn't find the heads or
the helms, and on the second order I forgot to add heads for the figures from
the first order. So I'll have three sets of 20 figures each, with only 20
helmets because I want the open-face helmets for the others, and no weapons or
shields. I'm hoping that things are back to normal soon. This is my first
experience with Pick-a-Brick, and it looks like I chose a bad time. LOL

I'm pretty sure this was stated somewhere before, but if you don't follow

Very curious -- will they honor the $250 price for the Observatory on the
Lego Shop rather than the $320 price posted on Bricklink? That's the amount
being authorized by people's cards and PayPal accounts, so it seems likely.
If so, that's a great deal for almost 3,900 parts and a gorgeous build.

Looks like they corrected the price. I got one at $250, woot!

Considering you don't actually get charged now and won't until they are
shipped, I would bet that everyone will be charged the stated price of $320 (or
whatever your price conversion is).

You order right here and then when you checkout it will take you to Lego.com
|
And by right here, the BL Designer page.
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/introducing.page
It will be updated when the sets go live for you place your pre-order. It will
redirect you to the Lego.com site to place the actual order for payment collection
information and such. One thing to note that if you select the Paypal option
during the pre-order, you will be "charged" and then refunded after 30 days when
the hold drops so keep this in mind. Final charges won't actually post until
the set(s) ship.

They had previously announced that they would be three rounds for this designer
program. My guess is that there won't be another one for some time based
on how this went and the fact that the previous one was in 2019

Have you looked a the piece count for these sets vs the 1st round?
1st round:
Smallest set - 540 pieces
Largest set - 1948 pieces
3rd round:
Smallest set - 1377 pieces
Largest set - 4062 pieces
That's a pretty big difference right there alone to justify a price gap.

money would be shipped back?
Is this how it works? Or do I have to do something special?

Here is the "Help" info for it: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/support/main.page?utm_content=subnav
Essentially, you are putting in a request for a set. If it is one of the first
5 to hit 3K orders, it will be slotted to be produced. You will provide payment
details during your pre-order, but will not actually be charged at all. If the
set is produced, when it is shipped, you will be charged that set's price.

You may need to specify a bit more as there are multiple versions of the DeLorean.
These are the figures from the new set (At least 2 stores have them in stock
as of now):
The license plate in that set has two version but they are both stickered 2x4

Thanks Pete. Why are they so rare and limited? Set has been out for 3 or 4
months now
|
|
Also I think it's pretty much been sold out since the release day. Which
means a couple things:
1) If anyone on BrickLink was planning on inventorying it, if they did not get
it day 1 they still don't have access to it. As of right now the inventory
for that set has not been reserved, so presumably nobody is even working on it.
2) People don't often part out sets if they only have 1 or 2 of them,
especially bigger sets like this. Since it's been sold out since day one
it highly unlikely that many people (if any) have more than 1 or 2 of the set
and thus even if the inventory was ready not many would be parted out.

I have the set, won't get around to working on it till at least the end of
the month. I'm redoing the flooring throughout my house and all my Lego
is just moving from one room to the next. Forget all the new sets that have
come in. I didn't want to reserve the set incase someone could get to in
sooner. If it's still out there, I'll be sure to work on it when I open
mine up. None the less, the stickered parts won't be added for who knows
how long. I have stickered parts from the new Ideas Sonic set and the Designer
Sheriff's Safe that have been waiting for months so even if I get to it,
who knows how long it will be for the stickered ones.

Once the buyer set the status to Received, you cannot make any changes. Truthfully

If you go to your store settings (https://www.bricklink.com/orderSettingsCols.asp?v=r&viewFrom=O)
select the "File/Unfile Order Checkbox". When you go to your "my store" page,
on the far right side you will see a checkbox that will allow you to "file" your
orders. Essentially it just puts them on another page so you don't have
them mixed in with your active orders.
I move mine once I see that they have been delivered by my other tools and then
can always review them again later if I need to bring them back up or if there
are buyer questions.

The only way to pre-order is to be online when the time frame is live. That

No matter how you ship it, you are the responsible party to make sure the order
gets to the buyer. If you agree to ship without tracking, you are taking on
the risk of not knowing if it ever arrives. Some sellers won't do this,
others will. If the order is paid with Paypal, you have no shipping confirmation
and would have little to no chance of winning a claim.
On the other hand, if it is a small order of low value that you wouldn't

| | I think it would be great to have an "any color" (or "unspecified" or "undecided")
option. For many elements that eventually become hidden inside your model (e.g.,
skeletal structures), it doesn't matter what color they are. However, depending
on what color you choose, the cost of ordering bricks from Bricklink later on
can fluctuate drastically. I don't want to worry about "what is the cheapest
color for this particular brick" in the middle of designing my model every time
I'm picking out a brick that will not be visible. One thing I do right now
is just pick out a random color (some obscure color you're not going to use
anywhere else) and designate that color to all your hidden colors, so I can worry
about picking colors later, but this doesn't give me a realistic cost estimate
while I'm building a model. I want an "any color" option (essentially meaning
"I don't care what color this is as long as it's the cheapest color)
for your bricks and the cost estimate to reflect the cheapest price regardless
of color. The "any color" brick can show up as hashed or checkered in your screen
to indicate its unspecified status. This will also help when I share my .io file
with someone, and they will be able to make a better and more up-to-date purchasing
decision by knowing which bricks will end up being hidden from view and can be
thus purchased in any color. Ideally, this feature would be implemented both
on Studio and Bricklink.

| | As a follow-up to my previous suggestion for the "Any Color" option in Studio/Bricklink,
I would love to see a "visibility inspection" (or "visibility analysis") button
you can press to identify all the bricks that are completely closed off from
the exterior and thus hidden from view. These "hidden" interior bricks do not
require any special colors to be picked out because no one can seem them, and
people would normally want to buy whatever color is the cheapest on Bricklink.
Currently it is possible to manually distinguish these interior elements by setting
them to one specific color (for example, bright pink so it stands out), but it
is tedious to manually designate them during build. Also, as you continue to
iterate your models, what you have previously designated as "hidden" bricks may
later become visible and vice versa, which introduces human error. With the proposed
"visibility inspection" button, you can just hit the button after the design
is finalized, select all the "hidden" bricks, and change them all to your own
"hidden bricks color" of choice, or in case my other suggestion for the "any
color" option is implemented, they can be designated as "any color," so it's
easy to find the cheapest bricks on Bricklink regardless of color.
Additionally, a user option may be provided so that the user can specify what
qualifies as a "hidden" element. Oftentimes, even when two Lego plates are butting
against each other (especially at an angle), there is a very small microscopic
gap between the two, through which another interior brick can be seen through.
These microscopic gaps are always present (even in official Lego sets) because
of the innate margin of error or give (usually like 0.1-0.2 millimeters) that
is built into all Lego elements. The "visibility inspection" button can be designed
to take these factors into account and also let the user decide how granular
you want to be when deciding what is visible and what is not.

I've purchased from overseas many times and have not had any problems. Two
things to keep in mind though is that you will have a slightly higher shipping
cost so I try to make sure my value is worth it. Secondly shipping times will
definitely take longer. I try not to order anything from over seas if I have

a couple months. Just know that even if a stores say "10 days shipping international,

The easiest way to see if they part exists (IMO) is to go to the part catalog
entry, click "color info" tab and view the "known colors" list. Once a part
is added to the catalog in that color, it will automatically update in that list.
If it is up for sale on wanted lists, it will display in the other columns,

If you have multiple items that you want to purchase, the easiest thing to do
first is to build a "wanted list" (heart icon in the header bar). Everyone starts
with the "default wanted list", but you can make more if you want. Search for
a part via the main search and then once you find the piece that you need you
can click the "add to my wanted list" link. Do this for all the part you want.
After you have all of your wanted list(s) built, hover over the heart again and
click "buy". Then you can click all the lists you want and the filter will try
to locate buyers that have as many parts a possible.
Welcome to BL and don't hesitate to ask more question as you start your journey.
