| Easy buy is so broken. It picked a store and set up the cart with 122 lots.
The store has an 80 lot limits. Also, the seller has multiple lots of 1ea and
of course I need multiples, so unnecessary lots are added when they could be
consolidating them when they add them. And some can argue that it's just
how they do things and have them in different places when they part them out,
but when you keep the same part in multiple locations it is an inefficient usage
of space.
TY for reading. Rant over, carry on.

and it's been over a year, ok, everyone makes a mistake. BUT 12 in the last
year? That is a red flag.

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?

If you order was paid for then cancelled you are entitled to a refund, if you
let it go past PayPal's deadline that is on you. 3 months of back and forth
is way too long. NSS is for your protection, and NPB is for a seller's protection.

It was canceled after 3 months of back and forth. Once that happened it was past
the paypal time frame. Since this was in a different country I was trying to
give the seller the benefit. Won't happen again. I've done hundreds of
buys on Brickowl without any issues and I've done 5 buys here with 2 issues.
|
Email is almost instantiations, shipping times aren't, but never let it go
past the PayPal time limit, you can always resend them the money. And a lot of
the sellers here are on Brickowl. Looking at who you left the feedback for I
wouldn't have bought from them based on their feedback. Yes, I might get
a perfect transaction with them, but if not then it looks like a problem. Good
luck and I hope you get better service with other sellers. look at my feedback
and pick one of them.

This seller gives awesome service.
But if you are looking for a rarer part, I know your choices are limited.

| Never seen this issue before:
Cart has a message of
"Item Do Not Fit in the Package"
it says max weight 34oz, however weights are not listed in cart detail to be
able to decide what I can remove and still want to place an order.
If this option is chosen for shipping, then the weight in cart should be automatically
on.

Pretty sure it's Mega. I have some blue ones.

ty they were listing it online for 45 with everything included and i didn't
think it was all lego and worth 45.

Not for resale, thou the flag looks good in the pic. And depending on if the
other baseplates are Lego it might be ok for personal use.

| | Hi, could someone help please as it is my first time ordering. I ordered and
paid for some parts to complete a set but since I completed the order it has
been cancelled by the seller. Comment on message informing me says feedback
is required to order? I tried to message seller to ask but it says I am on their
stop list.
Can someone give me a good reason not to leave bad feedback, is this the seller
or the system which has failed me? Should I be able to order just a few parts
and pay the postage?
TIA
|
Not all sellers accept orders from brand new buyers with 0 feedback as they are
afraid of issues with them. That being said, there are far, far more who will.
Just go out and place one with them. As far as feedback goes, if you got a
full refund then there was no transaction, yes, it is annoying, but just go on.
Good luck.

If you haven't bought from The Brick Witch, you are missing out on an excellent
experience.
Get over there and check it out and buy, wait if you buy it I can't. Well,
go ahead and buy it, I will catch it on the restock.
Seriously an awesome seller who goes the extra mile or kilometer if you use those

Not "completely gone"

No, the detail is completely gone. Who you bought from, and the break out of
costs are available, but not what you bought.
|
What part of "not completely gone" eludes you?
|
They asked if the detail is completely gone. The parts are the detail.
|
Details of a transaction are not solely the parts. You surely know this, right?
|
Buyers most of the time do not care about the shipping costs, fees or sales tax
after the fact. You want to be right, fine you are right.
Happy now?
