  To my knowledge, there is currently no way to search stores by location beyond
the state/province level.

Would it be possible to be able to search down to the city level, or perhaps
by distance from your own location? And would it be possible to add a "local
pickup" checkbox in sellers' store configuration pages so that buyers
could search stores based on that criterion?

I'm reminded again, make sure my seafood comes from reliable sources...

As for a need to know location seems a mute point. If you ever have tried to
do a meetup via Facebook, letgo, offerup, craigslist, or the like you will
know that your time and gas money is more valuable than a $4.00 shipping charge.

  Hi all,

Recently I had problems with an APO/FPO adress.

Buyer pretend shipment to this address, but my Courrier doesn't ship to an
APO address.

After a few message I ask a new shipping addres, so he sent me a Japan addres,
and pretend the same shipping cost

I refuse, so he want to cancel order with refund.

I complete all, and today he sent me a neg.

Well, my I ask if there any chance to block buyer with an shipping address not
valid.

I hope to NOT offend anybody with this post.

Sincerely

Which courier do you use? DHL may not be able to deliver a package to an APO
address but Poste Italiane should be able to.

Good point Chicken - And I might be wrong about how the APO works, but in defense
of the original post why the negative feedback. It seems store likes to ship
DHL for its own reasons and can't complete the order. The Buyer is asking
a lot ordering from an overseas location from a Italian Seller, then not understanding
seller is not willing to ship items back to USA to then be forwarded back abroad
internationally to a APO location. I rest my case, retract the feedback.

No, that isn't the case. APO/FPO addresses can receive international shipments,
but they *do* have go through USPS. But that is typical for international mail
- the national postal service makes delivery after the package goes through customs.

USPS does not operate in Italy, does it?

APO and FPO packages must be sent via USPS (meaning only from locations within
the US States). It seems the seller was wrong in leaving you feedback because
you reside in Italy and could not use the APO / FPO address. Nicely ask him
to remove the feedback based on this information.

  I need help adding international countries to my store, especially Canada. Plus,
I need help creating automatic shipping costs. Thank you, Jack

Would also like to offer shipping to Canada as I get many request to open the
gates.

Within the states we are typically dealing with package rates from $3.79 (4oz)
to $7.15 (15.9oz).

To Canada alone looks like 17.00 for first oz. retail and close to $30 for cheapest
flat rate options.

Question is who is really ordering at these high shipping rates, and why.

Pirate ship starts at closer to ~$15 usd pretty sure as the few times I’ve order
from the USA it’s always been ~$10-~$15

I don't see it unless we are talking about flat parcels or other methods
which one might need to spend lots of time figuring out. Seems like one might
run into situations like, mis-calculations then having to eat the difference,
lost packages or items held in customs, customers refusing packages due to extra
duties, or being exposed more to credit card fraud (not a Canadian problem per
se, just seems criminals are more emboldened thinking they can get away with
it internationally).

  I have a few details. I need help in determining the color. I think it's
flat silver.

Although items are most likely flat silver (L), metallic silver (R) hopefully
sellers here refrain from listing parts in such poor quality as these examples.

  Morning,

What settings do i do for free shipping if someone buy 25-30$ worth of bricks?
I am not seeing it in the settings area...

Thank you in advance..

You need to set your shipping method with a Min / Max then another above that
set to zero cost. Looking at your store you have a lot going on with different
methods of shipping and this method is usually is implemented with stores that
offer flat rate shipping. Also, on checkout of one minifig in your store the
only shipping with IC is "Shipping & Handling
US $11.40". I would look at other stores setup similar to the model you
want to follow.

  Would it be possible to enhance (or better yet, replace) the forum interface
to allow functionality like the following:

- Likes and other reactions to posts and comments (a sometimes useful indicator
of whether a view is widely shared or an outlier; and also enables people to
chime in without having to post their own "me too" comments)

- Ability to quote more than one prior comment (without having to do so totally
manually)

- Ability to reply to more than one comment if the prior comments are in different
sub-branches of the thread

- Ability to edit comments rather than cancelling them altogether and starting
over

It seems there are a good number of simple, plug-and-play forum software systems
around today that enable such features and much more without a whole lot of administrative
setup effort.

Thanks!

I would like the forum messages to have a YEA OR NAY vote button, but really
just a NAY. Buyers or sellers with at least a 250+ feedback can vote (all nay
posts moved to "off Topic". Then maybe the people that actually contribute
to the site will start using the forum again.
