|
| Lately I've been seeing a lot of sellers with TBD instead of a shipping rate
Can I cancel an order after they send me the invoice if I think shipping is too
high? What is the correct procedure? I don't want to upset any sellers.

Maybe, but it's probably cheaper to just buy the set.
|
Unless they don’t want the minifigs, no?
|
In that case buying an incomplete set would be a good option.
| | Or are the stickers / stickered parts expensive too?
|
More expensive than unstickered parts. Depends on how accurate a copy he wants
to make. I did not do the math, but still think buying a (incomplete) set is
a good option.

| I finally cancelled the order.
The seller reply was only "with pleasure (!)"
Stupid man... his store is still open but won't be able to take order until
the end of March, as he said me. Never mind.
Store disliked, member added to stop list.

Aaaah, good thinking. I generally break up the big ticket items in to multiple
orders in order to get more of the GWPs, but I've only done that maybe three
times so far. I didn't even think about adding a blister pack or something
to the orders.

He wants to know which gifts he will get. The ones offered during the period
within which he placed his order, or the ones offered at the time of shipping
his order?

You didn't mention if he refunded your payment, if he didn't, you should

Maybe he meant to add them to his collection.

Well, it removes a few possible back-translations / nuances but then again, it’s
not obvious whether someone (sender or receiver) uses English or Globish / understands
all the nuances.

(‘Remind,’ in modern English, not ‘remember’ )
I would let it go: they are obviously not in a mood to receive advices, however
they are expressed.

| | | I think the seller, even in this case, could have the time to close his shop
at e certain time.
It only takes a few seconds.
A few years ago I was hospitalized for a severe problem, in sickbed I took the
time to close my shop and e-mail the handfull of buyers to ask what they preferred,
cancelling the order or wait for an uncertain time.
Although the seller can be forgiven to not think about this immediately he could’ve
taken action and responded nicely to the OP with his fair and kind question.
|
Yes, the seller should really close their store. It is easy and won't lead
to a backlog of orders or bad feedback for not invoicing or shipping.
But then, as a seller it can be annoying to be told by someone else you should
do things their way and not your way. Obviously here it was meant as friendly
advice to stop other buyers getting annoyed at a lack of service and there are
far worse things that some buyers feel the need to try to impose on sellers.

You shouldn’t say “you should…!”!
As both buyer and seller are French, I suppose they spoke French and so there
should be less of a language barrier.
There’s several nuances in French that can be reduced to “you should…!” in Globish.
For starters, there’s “tu” (singular & colloquial you) or “vous” (politeness
plural) or the impersonal “ça” (it, but then it would translate to “it should”)
or the impersonal “il” (similar to “it should” but translates to “you should”).
Then there’s the tense: present (obligation) or conditional (advice).
So it’s hard to judge just on a translation what could have triggered that answer.
Also, these social codes are not always understood or shared and it seems the
seller is under stress at the moment.
I mean, the answer is still out of line but it may not just be the exclamation
point
