| The "Suggestions" topic is for site suggestions for features / improvements.
This belongs in "Shipping."
On topic, yes newer sellers should be aware of these issues.
If it's a boxed set pack it in an outer shipping box. Use sturdy boxes.
If it's parts put them inside a ziplock bag inside your bubble mailer, in
case the mailer gets punctured in transit parts are less likely to get lost.

| | To all sellers. Please check out You tube videos showing how packages are handled
by the various companies including the USPS. I have had several bad experiences
myself with the USPS. Fortuneatly, most of the sellers have done an OUTSTANDING
job of properly packing my items and they have weathered the abuse. That being
said...simply wrapping the actual LEGO box in brown paper is inviting disaster
and bad feedback. If you plan on shipping the item this way PLEASE state that
on your terms and conditions or splash page. I, for one, am willing to pay
more if it ensures my new box doesn't show up completely crushed, like yesterday.
Thank you.

Your reply, while technically correct, does not tell the whole story. The searches
you picked were sufficient to key on the home page of BL. They were not specific
enough to actually find something of interest.
|
Do we really want the Google searches bringing people to the specific catalog
page for the item? I sure don't. I assume that those who want better Google
search results want to attract new customers (new to BL entirely, not just new
to their store.) Someone new to BL would be much better off at the main homepage
instead of a catalog page. That way they can explore the site from the main
starting point. I believe that would lead to a better intro-to-BL experience
and curb many frustrating experiences for both new buyers and sellers.

It would be best to direct them to the cat page of the items they are looking
for.
In other words, if someones trying to buy a 10179, then the search result should
direct them to that exact page. They can see all the listing for sale and decide
where to go next.

Although I'm not a seller I agree with what David says. I found Bricklink
through a search in 2011. I had just started digging out my old lego collection
and was looking for a dragon to replace the one that I used to have. My search
(google, bing yahoo, i don't remember what engine I used) directed me to
a specific store. For a while I never even realized that there was a whole community
of many many stores. I just assumed the website I came across was someone's
individual store. Only at my second or third visit to that store I clicked the
bricklink logo on the top, was taken to the home page and realized what I had
missed before.

I did this as well with TBB...had no idea there were other stores for my first
sale.
