You are either going to take a deep breath, buy a family-size pizza for yourself
for tonight to help distracting yourself and so stopping this spamming you have
been getting into, or I will submit over 150 inventory change requests.
If you think I am bluffing, check how many inv. changes I have made:

| change additional notes for the following sets:
Released only in Continental Europe, UK, Australia and Canada.
None of the sets 262, 263 or 264 (and other 26N series) appear on Canadian catalogs
but I had personally bought a lot from Vancouver including Canadian sets that
included 263 and 264.
Recently, somebody on the forum bought 263 from Ontario and I have a photo of
Canadian 264.

No clue.
We have had around 10 of these in the past 3 months.
Maybe it is time to just go domestic?
Your thoughts?

It hasn't been worth shipping to Europe the past decade.
Shipping USPS International is outrageously expensive.
If you ship using Ascendia, the shipping is a bit cheaper, but it is going through
third party, so riskier.
|
Have been using it for long time and no single problem.
All couriers use each other's service. If I ship with CanadaPost to US, it
will be handled by USPS in USA. If I ship with ChitChats, they handle it to Ascendia
and from there, it will be shipped to like France and from there, they pass it
to LaPost, as does CanadaPost.
I guess you haven't used it neither and probably, sellers in US receive enough
number of orders from USA so they don't see any reason to check and try other
options..
| |
Then Europeans whine about VAT even though they voted for welfare states, so
they want you to lie on customs form, which is a federal crime.
|
Under 150 Euro, VAT is collected at checkout anyway so no more request for orders
under 150 Euro.

| | So I sold a set from my personal collection. Been sitting on a shelf for years
and I disassembled and inventoried it before listing.
I hear from the buyer a week after shipping about how the set is horribly damaged
and parts not even fitting together. They are terribly disappointed and want
their money back. I know that not to be the case, but I send a label for return
shipping and will refund once received. It's just a Creator set, so no minifigs
or rare parts to worry about being swapped.
I get the set back, and it's obvious it was never even opened. All parts
in the separate bags I used. I'm pretty sure the box was still sealed with
my packing tape.
I refunded the purchase anyway. Sucks I'm out $25 for the shipping both ways,
but you have this occasionally. Is rather they had just been honest about having
buyer's remorse.
|
You were not obliged to pay for return shipping. I wouldn't pay it.

To where problems arrised, mainly?
How do you ship? Tracked? Insured? Bad shipper change shipper?
Do you prefer to lose 100% (not exporting) or lose part of it? Did you calculate
this?
|
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
pay VAT"
|
Was the order over 135 GBP or did BL collect the VAT (in this case, did you attach
the invoice so that the buyer won't need to pay VAT for the second time?)
| | the other I have no idea. He may have got it, may have not. He
is all over the place. Either way I am looking to cut off overseas for awhile
to see if that stops this. We are taking hit after hit after hit on the overseas.

out of how many?

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)

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?

| ***Communications in French***
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!
