| 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.

Maybe, but it's probably cheaper to just buy the set.

In that case buying an incomplete set would be a good option.

More expensive than unstickered parts. Depends on how accurate a copy he wants
to make. I did not do the math, but still think buying a (incomplete) set is
a good option.

The seller reply was only "with pleasure (!)"
Stupid man... his store is still open but won't be able to take order until
the end of March, as he said me. Never mind.

Aaaah, good thinking. I generally break up the big ticket items in to multiple
orders in order to get more of the GWPs, but I've only done that maybe three
times so far. I didn't even think about adding a blister pack or something
to the orders.

Yes, the seller should really close their store. It is easy and won't lead
to a backlog of orders or bad feedback for not invoicing or shipping.
But then, as a seller it can be annoying to be told by someone else you should
do things their way and not your way. Obviously here it was meant as friendly
advice to stop other buyers getting annoyed at a lack of service and there are
far worse things that some buyers feel the need to try to impose on sellers.

You shouldn’t say “you should…!”!
As both buyer and seller are French, I suppose they spoke French and so there
should be less of a language barrier.
There’s several nuances in French that can be reduced to “you should…!” in Globish.
For starters, there’s “tu” (singular & colloquial you) or “vous” (politeness
plural) or the impersonal “ça” (it, but then it would translate to “it should”)
or the impersonal “il” (similar to “it should” but translates to “you should”).
Then there’s the tense: present (obligation) or conditional (advice).
So it’s hard to judge just on a translation what could have triggered that answer.
Also, these social codes are not always understood or shared and it seems the
seller is under stress at the moment.
I mean, the answer is still out of line but it may not just be the exclamation
point

| | 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...

Ya sometimes punctuation can be taken out of context in messages online since
you cant actually hear the person saying it so it would be my guess if something
is happening with his father he probably just was in a bad mood and mindset and
read the message wrong and wasn’t happy. It’s unfortunate that stuff like that

| If you go into the wanted list, there's a button in the upper right called
"apply order." After clicking it, you can then select the specific order
you wish to apply and it will update the number on hand for that order. It will
provide an intermediate screen which will allow you to adjust or remove items
you don't wish to apply to that wanted list. If you use that wanted list

you can't actually buy from yourself though so only way to remove them is
to manually remove them.
Where as if you create a new account, put a manual invoice through you can actually
make bricklink take those items out of your store automatically.

| If you create a wanted list you can go to view your own shop and click on the
tab: wanted list.
That will do it I think.

A single combined shipping/handling fee makes it simple to understand and so
what’s to be peeved about? Almost anywhere you buy from online operates there
shipping charge in this way and as long as it’s not extortionately above actual
shipping cost then I see no problem!

My peeve isn't that sellers are combining costs. It's when they claim
they charge no fees and add a handling fee into the shipping cost. It's the
claim that irks me, not the process.
I say: I charge actual postage cost + $1 fee for handling: $4.99
Other sellers say: No Fees here! Shipping cost: $4.99
If you are charging no fees, then the order is the LEGO plus postage only.

Whats the difference? I really don't get your point because a shipping charge
is a shipping charge regardless of whether the seller chooses to include a small
amount of handling in that charge or not. One seller may charge $4 shipping whilst
another may charge $6 shipping but they're still just an upfront shipping
charge and unrelated to any other hidden or added fee that you or a buyer may
later take issue with!
When a seller claims "No Fees" it very much relates to any hidden fees
beyond that of the basic shipping/handling charge which every buyer already anticipates
and appreciates having to pay. This chosen shipping/handling charge amount can
vary between sellers (within reason!) and so to be concerned over delving so
heavily into the way a seller words and merges their shipping charge is just
being overly pedantic over something that the buyer really doesn't care too
much about!
The buyer just wants to know your total shipping charge, they don't need
to know a breakdown of how you came to decide upon that shipping charge as with
that logic you may as well also disclose to them how much you paid for your parts
and how much profit you're making from the sale of each of those parts!?

I assume.
This would be unfair to a large portion of the buyers within the EU who have
the option to pay with IBAN (if the seller has this activated). With IBAN there
are no fees. Why would a buyer paying with IBAN be confronted with higher part
prices that include the paypal fees?
|
Some sellers put in an additional fee to cover stuff like driving to the post
office. Pretty much anyone else agrees these costs should just be considered
overhead, and be covered in the price of the product. Then you get a request
for local pick-up, which obviously doesn't need that drive. Are you suggesting
pricing-including-travel-costs is now unfair to the person doing local pick-up?
Keep things simple, don't stack on fees but offer price-of-product plus shipping
cost.

I gotta say though, that it's been buyer experiences like this, that have

a small amount. I'd rather bake any ancillary costs into our prices than
hit the buyer with them afterwards.

"A $3 handling charge applies to all orders for envelopes, padding, tape,
gas, waiting in line*, unforeseen medical expenses, wear and tear on automobiles
and footwear, storage, proper lighting, ventilation, Bricklink fees, PayPal fees,
etc."
*queue for the UK folks

If we charged for queuing in the UK everything would be unafordable
|
But we would still do it, and tut under our breath at those who do not.
