| Hi,
I think that there are many who, like me, want to build 40703 and/or 40704 with
their existing items.
Therefore I've created created customised instructions for 40703 and 40704
and posted them online here: https://bricksto.build
The instructions roughly follow the same sequence as the original instructions.
40703 - Micro Ninjago City
40704 - Micro Ninjago Docks
I also plan to create 40705 and 40706 as soon as they are released.
Happy building!

| | Dear BrickLink sellers in the United States,
We have removed these outdated API-based shipping methods:
• Domestic USPS First-Class Packages (retail),
• Domestic USPS First-Class Packages (commercial).
Starting from today, you will be seeing the following shipping methods in your
Store Settings instead:
• USPS Ground Advantage (commercial),
• USPS Ground Advantage (retail),
• USPS Priority Mail (commercial),
• USPS Priority Mail (retail).
As usual, you can access the new USPS rates for Courier API methods upon selecting
each method in the Rate Chart.
Thank you,
The BrickLink Team

Looks like this change removed the method I was using to do automatic invoicing
for packages under 16 oz (since First-Class were restricted to 16 oz or less)
and manual invoicing for all others. I've poked around on the shipping methods
page and can't figure out how to get that working again. Any suggestions?
|
Note that the First Class shipping method I was using also automatically changed
to USPS Ground Advantage, which let an order I would have manually invoiced through
and cost me ~$4 in shipping fees beyond what the customer paid. At least I know
why it happened now.

| Author: | freo43 | | Posted: | Apr 24, 2024 01:22 | | Subject: | Include Counterparts when Part Out to list | | Viewed: | 12 times | | Topic: | Wanted | |
| I use the "Part Out" feature to create a wanted list with every part
in a set, then go through my collection and "find" all the parts until
I have enough to build it.
But the Counterparts (items with stickers or images on them already) never get
included in the list. So I have to go to the Bricklist set Inventory and add
them 1 by 1.
There is a tickbox in "part out" for "Extra parts" but not "Counterparts".
Often these parts have the same Part Number as the inventory but with a suffix
"pb001" or similar.
Is it possible to do what I'm wanting?

Thank you to Dan Jezek for designing Bricklink all those decades ago!
Thank you Bricklink for without this marketplace I would not have had a viable
business model that has worked for 20 years.
Thank you to the countless stores across the world that have provided me with
excellent service!
Thank you to the Community (both in chat & forum) for all the questions answered,
the laughs, the Pizza & Mustard wars, the long debates, the catalog adds & changes,
and a place to go to feel included.
I look forward to the next 20 years whatever they may bring. 
Forever grateful,

| | | | I think most do not make the right claims with Bricklink for them to take action
though. I see people with the worst feedback where they didn't send all the
parts and it only takes 3 people to make the right claim for them to be suspended.
At least that is what I thought.
|
If the seller refunds for the missing / damaged / wrong parts and shows proof
of it, then the NSS will be removed. However, the buyer might still leave negative
feedback. So the store can have a poor feedback score without being suspended.
|
I know but 3 NSS and you are suspended until it is resolved. Then you submit
proof and how long do you have to wait? One guy was waiting 3 weeks to reopen.
If they all did an NSS the bad stores would be gone more often.

Also their responses. Everyone can make a mistake and there is no pleasing some
people, but if you are running a business you have to act professionally. And
if this is a just a hobby then you should still show some respect to people who
gave you their business, even if you aren't totally pleased. Screaming that
someone is a thief, and a scammer is not a good look for a seller, even if they
are. It makes me wonder if I have an issue how will they respond?

Well, since the OP is in the same state as the seller, they are lucky he didn't
drive to their house and shoot them dead, invoking the "scam panic defense."

457, why? Is that bad?
Kidding - only 11 including the store in question. I think maybe 6 of them were
from threads like this where a user was seeking advice on how to handle another
difficult user. I'll go dig around to see if I can help and in the process
if I end up seeing a plethora of negatives (like 10+ in a year) I'll stop
list them even though they're probably not an active buyer. My logic is
that while they might not buy from me, they may see their "members who have
stop listed me" numbers climb and realize they need to make some changes.
I check back every now and then and occasionally remove people who have made
improvements.
The others were added because I might have stumbled on them while reading other
people's feedbacks and their replies. Two of them are on there because they
don't know how to use the feedback system properly and I'm just trying
to protect my numbers. They gave over 20 feedbacks but may be 3 were positive
and the rest were neutral and negative.
The funny thing is, I was stop listed and put on ignore lists left and right
while asking basic questions back when I was setting up my store. Everybody
has their reasons I guess. I went from being on 5 to now just 2 so I assume
they were just curmudgeons.

I get it. Thanks for sharing.
