Thank you.
|
might I ask what is the misprint on it? it just looks like a normal mold mark
to me
|
Normally part of the e and g are partly there
|
interesting as I've seen many where the middle few simply aren't present
|
I’ll look through my 1x2 bin tonight to see if I can find any without the EG

I only have 14 all in some transparent color no solid colors.

| Bonjour
Hello...
Set 118-2 does NOT exist...that is a Samsonite set 111. I have often thought
of letting BL know this (there are more things wrong with some other Samsonite/North
American listings) but I have yet to do this.
Set 118-3 DOES exist but would have come in a brown box from Sears. I do not
have the box but I DO have the original instructions with my set.
FWIW...

I think I'm just banging my head against a wall.
I have regular communication with a nice buyer and collector. He wrote me:
Bonjour [name]. Avez vous deja vu les boites 118-2 et 118-3 ??? Merci [his
name]
I answered:
...
Set 118-3: c'est un set vendu par Sears. Je crois qu'il n'a pas de
boite. Par example, il est possibelemtn etre vendu comme ce set:
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/kraft-lego-mini-wheel-set-dump-soda-1824610533
Set 118-2: j'ai aucune idee comment il ont trouve 118-2. Je le vois dans
aucun catalog. Ca peut etre une faute. La photo de sa boite sur bricklink est
exactement celle de set 111.
Bien a vous
His response:
Bonjour [name]. Avez vous deja vu une boite occasion du 118-2 et 118-3 ??
Car moi jamais. Connaissez vous quelqu’un qui en a une ??
My response:
Set 118-3: c'est un set vendu par Sears. Je crois qu'il n'a pas
de boite. Par example, il est possibelemtn etre vendu comme ce set:
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/kraft-lego-mini-wheel-set-dump-soda-1824610533
Set 118-2: j'ai aucune idee comment il ont trouve 118-2. Je le vois dans
aucun catalog. Ca peut etre une faute. La photo de sa boite sur bricklink est
exactement celle de set 111."
Donc, comme le set 118-2 n'exist pas, personne ne l'a vu ne plus.
Le set 118-3 exist main il n'a pas de boite. Il etait juste emballe dans
un carton ou quelque chose pareil comme quelque chose que vous pouvez voire dans
le lien:
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/kraft-lego-mini-wheel-set-dump-soda-1824610533
Donc, comme la boite de set 118-3 n'exist pas, personne ne 'a vu, personne
ne l'a et il n'y a pas de photo de la boite ne plus car on peut pas prendre
une photo de quelque chose qui n'a jamais existe 🙂
At this point, I am convinced either I did't explaing things properly or
I'm just banging my head against a wall.
Now, those who know French, please tell me if you were initially looking for
boxes of these two sets, what would you have understood from my responses and
if you would continue looking to find the boxes? What would you have answered
me after my two responses.
Once, a few of you French guys kindly reply to this, I write what his third message
was!

We have had 3 lost in the last 60 days. No trace after it reaches country arrival.
All 3, the tracking info stops at that point.
|
Yes, and USPS just shrugs and basically says it sucks to be you. No assistance
with anything, and though they state a service time of like fourteen days to
deliver, International packages cannot be considered lost until 60 days. Pay
more, get less, postal service is slipping fast into the toilet. Oh, DeJoy!

Two right now (today). UK and Belgium.
Tracked, arrived but either refused or just lying. Cannot tell yet but I have
two angry contacts. One is saying "they are not stupid and they will not

is all over the place. Either way I am looking to cut off overseas for awhile

For orders with VAT, are you including the digital IOSS number when you purchase
your label?

I understood your messages no problem. Curious what the reply was (and if they're
a seasoned collector or someone newer, as perhaps it explains the misunderstanding)
|
Great you understood. So to confirm, having read my responses, would you look
for these two boxes?

I would have thanked you for the information, and if I had any other details
that led me to believe there were some mysterious boxes for them I'd send
them your way.

Confusing, as "they will not pay VAT" means they can't have received
the package.
So it can't be "arrived", or at least at destination.
Otherwise "lying"? One says it didn't arrive while tracking shows
it's delivered??
It's technically possible - it even happens to a delivery to me.
Will you let PayPal decide? Why not trying for at least an order?
Something's wrong as 10/80 is absolutely NOT normal for every seller I've
heard of.
Anyway - as you wish.

Totally abnormal, far too high.
Count a couple per year here (on a thousand), same for local, no real difference.
Either in the way you pack/protect, make the stickers (addressing norms), document
(customs...) or the shipper, or the Country (South America is often problematic
from here).

We have changed nothing. Same way we always ship. Stamps.com, labels (so they
do not get caught up in the machines like some of our past issues), packed tight
so no "flaps". Just started awhile ago and every day we seem to get
another contact from an overseas saying something to the effect; "has not
arrived". There was another one yesterday I have yet to drop that to the
post office for another check (tomorrow probably). Seems to be a huge waste
of time. Next will be the Paypal asking for a full refund (which Paypal will
likely grant) after we send them the tracking, copies of the contact, etc..
Just frustrating.

My single oversea problem: The guy said the package (value $300) was lost, meaning
it was not in the post office indicated on the notice and tracking. He did not
communicate to me. The package got returned (destroyed) and I reply: Why didn't
you contact me on time so I contact the courier. Now there is nothing I can do
because the package is returned and will be destroyed. I cannot request refund
from the courier (a Canadian one) because the tracking says the package was not
collected by reciepant. His answer: no worries. This is not your fault. I just
wanted to inform you. I will request refund from our own post service and I did
not hear back from him as he did not want a refund anyway.
With what courier do you ship?
|
USPS. I did not count all of the overseas but I am going to guess that in that
time period we shipped around 80 packages overseas. So 10 out of 80. Domestic
200-300 and 0 lost packages.
|
Have you considered to ship with pirateships.com ? You may get a different result
(if they don't ship with USPS)
