Had a Czech store place an order in our store today for a customer in Kent. I
queried that and pointed him to our store terms no drop shippers or freight forwarders
orders accepted. He said he did not know what drop shipping meant but because
the customer was in Kent what was the problem? I cancelled the order and wished
him well in finding a store which supports that. I left no feedback and moved
on. Just logged back in and he has left negative feedback despite our store terms
clearly stating we do not accept orders from either drop shippers or freight
forwarders. I then left a reply to his feedback and changed no feedback to a
negative.

Would much rather have just had his removed but no valid reason listed by Bricklink.
That cannot be right when someone ignores store terms which are clearly displayed

Something isn’t quite right about this and yes I know my feedback is retaliatory
and we always try to avoid that when possible but this isn’t logical. Why should
we be penalised for our terms, which, by the way are repeated by a large number
of stores and are not illegal nor unclear.

Recently, and for a variety of unrelated reasons, we have had to secure a number
of minifigures. To our surprise and now concern we found between 40 and 50% of
sellers were including accessories with their figures. Nothing wrong with that
as Bricklink’s updated policy allows that at the sellers discretion.

Unfortunately, it does have an effect on the price guide as the figures only
have their primary code in use,

Could we introduce a suffix based system to differentiate between the two types
– so sw0001 has an alternative sw0001a01 ? The software already allows for this
so not much development time would be required and that would ensure the price
guide is more accurate than it currently is.

We part out between 100 and 200 sets (across most themes) per year to add to
our inventory. For 12 years now two themes have dominated the return on part
out. We know why – their minifigures are at the high end of the pricing spectrum.
After that it Is a bit of a ‘guess which theme is where in the ranking’’. The
two top themes are of course. Star Wars and Super Heroes. Does anyone else look
at this in the same way

We realise return is based on what you pay for the sets and the timing of the
part out, but would be interested to hear about other stores views/experiences.

Disappear after placing their orders. Nearly 13% of all orders from 0 feedback
buyers.

Have had a spurt of these over the last couple of months - IC is not the answer
for us we need another tool or option, perhaps where we can set a minimum feedback
level for a buyers first order - an option of course and that would allow stores
to choose rather than Bricklink.

Have 2 issues wuth this really. The first is when trying to follow the link in
the eail bl sne I get the below


And the 2nd is I do not wwant my detials at lego.com linked top my Lego id th8ey
are 2 seperate acounts and need to stay that way. One is for personal use and
other is for our store.



They could easily use a lookup table in their code to match the 2 and save all
this Hassle

Sometimes people who believe they are doing something genuinely helpful do not
really take the time to think these things through.

Lookup table BL ID = 1 ;ego id = 2 - Not exactly rocket science.

Our inventory is in direct proportion to this little chart and has been for many
years. It will be differnt breakdowns by different regions, store specialisation
etc.

Our product families are our own internal 1 level up from Bricklink categories
e.g Bricks equals all the sub undeer bricks e.g modified, round etc.

Anybody else produce data like this? I am pretty sure qwertyboy does - right
Niek ?

NO longer supports windows 7 (all 100 million + of us)

Not the best decision Windows 10 and 11 are two of the most invasive products
Microsoft has ever produced - we won't be changing os just to accommodate

Some time ago we parted out 8 Small super hero sets which, in theory gave us
8 sh077 minifigs

They sat in our inventory f0r a while until someone bought 2 of them. We shipped
them out along with some other bits and got a message back from the buyer that
1 of the sh077's had an incorrect hair piece. He included a photo which clearly
shows item 92081 rather than 98726. We could not understand how that happened,
so we went to the other 6 and 2 of those also had what appears to be an alternate
hair piece. No mention of this anywhere that I can find - should there be an
alternate or a note

Prices and new complications added to their pricing structure. Europe now has
zones . Standard large letter up to 100g is now 1.45 rather than 1.29 which
is a 12% + Hike.

Things are going to get very expennsive and complicated/

It wasn't bad enough adding vat onto everything now the surrounding services
are going to go up significantly

Good fun really. Life is always a challenge.
