Four out of 100+ is a lot - that's 3.67% of your orders!
I've had two orders go missing (knock wood) out of 650+ in 3 years. No reported
damage. That's 0.3%
|
3 out of 4 the orders I mentioned before was actually orders that I ordered and
were shipped to me. Sorry for the mix-up

John P - imagine if she had run over your Barbie’s!
I’ve shipped no shortage of orders, mostly first class, and cant remember ever,
ever, ever having an issue. I pay the extra fee for a rigid envelope that is
over 3/4” thickness and I also wrap the bags of bricks in additional bubble wrap.
It’s that little extra touch to ensure the recipient gets the bricks they ordered.

I agree. That employee needs fired. But y’know, it was only 9 dollars, and I
doubt that suing one of the most important companies in the US would be a useless

I should state it's the principle of the system that failed to properly deliver
your package without running over it, but y'know, if it had been 90 dollars
instead of 9, my statement would have been the same. As for taking you seriously,

| Agreed...the tread marks are probably from the envelope getting stuck in a sorting
machine.
Luckily they also didn't slap postage due on it for the package rate.

First class envelope. I always ship smaller orders that way unless requested
otherwise so I can keep shipping prices down for my store.

Then you made your own mess here. First Class envelope is for paper only and
is not intended for mailing merchandise. The rules specifically preclude variation
in thickness and rigidity. First Class envelope is intended to be run through
the roller sorting machines.
Don't blame the USPS or its employees for this one.
LEGO parts must ship First Class package.

| That's at least part of your problem.
"Large Envelopes (Flats)
The single-piece 1-ounce rate for large envelopes (flats) is $0.80.
The maximum size for large envelopes is 15" x 12" x 3/4" thick.
The maximum weight for large envelopes is 13 ounces. A large envelope exceeding
13 ounces is classified as a Priority Mail item.
When a First-Class Mail item exceeds any one of the maximum measurements of a
large envelope, it is classified and priced as a package (parcel).
When a flat-size piece of mail is a box or has contents that make the mailpiece
rigid, it is classified and priced as a package.
All large envelopes (flats) must be rectangular. “Rectangular” includes square-shaped
pieces."

In terms of value, £1 worth of feathers and £1 worth of gold are the same. However,
if you were to physically weigh £1 worth of feathers and £1 worth of gold, they
would not weigh the same.
Gold is far more expensive than feathers. So for £1, you would get a very small
amount of gold, which would weigh much less than the larger amount of feathers
you could get for the same price.
So to clarify, if you're talking about the physical weight of what you can
buy with £1, the feathers would likely weigh more because you can buy more of
them for £1 compared to gold. But if you're talking about value, £1 worth
of feathers and £1 worth of gold are equivalent because both are worth £1.

| lol at myself. The way it was written about affording shipping I just assumed
that was the weight. But my other point is event more true now I think. If spending
12 pounds on lego figure + a couple of pounds for shipping is causing this much
stress, there are probably more important things to spend that money on.

Even ChatGPT is confused…
Both £1 of feathers and £1 of gold weigh the same, which is £1. The weight
is determined by the monetary value (£1) rather than the material itself. However,
it's worth noting that gold is much denser than feathers, so a £1 worth of
gold would occupy significantly less space compared to a £1 worth of feathers.

I was thinking the same thing but then remembered they have a unique way of naming
currencies in other countries

Well, they can’t all be called “dollar”

Message the seller and ask them how much shipping is for the item in question.
Worst case scenario you can cancel the order if the shipping cost is too high.
For a 12-pound minifigure shipping is bound to be pretty expensive.

- I recommend not buying the figure if you're on a budget where shipping
might break you.
- If you absolutely have to have it, I recommend finding another store with instant
checkout so you'll know the exact cost.

If the seller invoices you and you have already paid, then then seller should
not be adding on more for shipping. Ask how much shipping is before ordering,
or shop from a store that uses instant checkout.

First, see if you can Request a Quote from your seller. It will be an option
on the last page of the order confirmation process from your shopping cart.
Second, read through the store's Terms and see if you can determine for yourself
how much the shipping is likely to be.
Third, you won't be paying for the item until the shipping is added to your
order. Your seller will first send you an invoice with the total costs. I would
not advise placing your order unless you have tried steps 1 and 2, or are willing
to pay reasonable shipping costs.
We can give you an idea of what to expect for shipping for one minifigure if
we know the country you are looking to buy from.
