A family friend is coming to the US for a trade show/convention, and staying
with us. Can I order from German stores and have parts shipped to her house
an delivered to me when she arrives here in the US?
I am just looking for parts, not sets.
Is this acceptable? Can I ask sellers to do that?
She is not an AFOL.
Thank you.

I'm not totally sure I understand your question, but if you are wondering
whether it is possible to have a BrickLink order shipped to an alternate address,
then the answer is yes. At checkout, simply replace the default shipping address
with the alternate one. This will overwrite the PayPal address as well.

That price is for an unsold one. If you look at the price guide, they are selling
for more like 20-25 Euro as soon as they are listed.

I see the price list but it's mad how you can post one figure for the same
price as the whole set it came out of. And I'm talking new from Lego. But
as we speak there is a cheaper one. 😄🤪

You can post anything at any price you like. But if too high for buyers, it won't
sell. You not only waste time but you also get buyers marking the store as least
favourite so might lose future buyers.

+1 it’s part of the beauty of a feee market. (Process to price 1x1 studs at $10,000
each

And for those trying to find the purple helmet and tanks, try asking a customer
service of this well known brand. I had some luck! But then don't be greedy....

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.

Yes, you can cancel the order if you think the shipping is too high:
https://www.bricklink.com/retractOrder.asp

You can request to cancel if the shipping was higher than described in the seller's
terms. Just placing orders to see what the final cost will be is a not a good
method.

'Seller provided a shipping fee that was too high (not clearly stated in
T&C) '

Manual invoicing was the standard here until fairly recently. It is very normal
on this site for a seller to have to check your order and then add the appropriate
shipping charges.

You are still obligated to make your purchase as you agreed to at checkout unless
the seller did not explain the charges in their terms.

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=79

So, check the terms, do your homework as to what shipping costs generally run,
use the Request a Quote feature if you still aren't sure.

You can still make a polite request to the seller to cancel after an order is
placed. Some sellers will and some won't. Many sellers here are wary of cancelling
an order because then a buyer may leave them unwarranted negative feedback. It's
a bit of a problem we've had here for too long.
