A family friend is coming to the US for a trade show/convention, and staying
with us. Can I order from German stores and have parts shipped to her house
an delivered to me when she arrives here in the US?
I am just looking for parts, not sets.
Is this acceptable? Can I ask sellers to do that?
She is not an AFOL.
Thank you.

I don't think these sellers know you can get the whole set for the same price.....
And for those trying to find the purple helmet and tanks, try asking a customer
service of this well known brand. I had some luck! But then don't be greedy....

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.

I placed a few orders from LEGO.com that gave the trifecta of "gift(s) with
purchase" of the rabbit, chinese new year and houses of the world. If these
are only offered for a two week period - and they have a 60 day back order -
will I get the ones on the order or the ones during the week of shipment?

I got a wanted list notification for some new minifigs I've been wanting.
Price was right, so I bought and paid.

Five minutes later the seller cancels the order, says the minifigs were uploaded
in error. They're the only parts the seller has added in several days.

I want to give the seller the benefit of the doubt here, but I'm suspicious.
How easy is it to accidentally log in and add three of a hot new minifig to your
store?

Hi,

I placed an order yesterday on a French store.
The seller wrote to me to tell me that he is in Portugal until the end of March
and that he will therefore not be able to take care of the order before. He therefore
proposes to me either to cancel it, or to keep it despite the wait.
I tell him that I would have preferred to know before placing my order but that
nevertheless I will keep it since I need a few pieces. I also advised him to
indicate it on his shop.

Here is my message:
"Hello,
Indeed, I would have preferred to know before ordering. You should put it big
on your homepage!
I will keep my order since I need some parts.
Nicholas"

I don't think I was rude, I advised him to make an announcement about his
absence to avoid possible problems with buyers.

Here is his response:
"Good evening, the fact of having ordered does not oblige me to be at your
disposal...
Also, the exclamation mark on your answer, I don't like either.
Sorry, I'm away because my father is sick, I have to be there for him.
Frankly, no one who has purchased from my store has ever sent me a response like
yours."

I find his answer quite rude.
On the one hand, concerning his family, I cannot know. I do not blame him.
On the other hand, I advised him to at least indicate his absence on his shop
and he took the exclamation point at the end of my sentence very badly...
Then, as a seller, even if indeed he is not at my disposal, if he cannot manage
his shop during his absence, therefore if he is not currently able to satisfy
the needs of his "customers", he shouldn't keep it open.

I don't really know what to do...

Nicolas

When purchasing an entire wanted list. Will it remove the items from my list
once I have bought them so that I can tell which ones I still have to purchase?
Hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance.

Hey all,
i might be being silly here, but i cant find an option when i create a wanted
list, to check off items i have in my own store.
Is it possible to do this without creating a new account?

Good day administration. I have a buyer that is blackmailing me and if you could
reach out to me ASAP I would appreciate that.
