| | Hello!
I'm looking for someone in Canada that is willing to give me a hand! There
is a store in Canada that I would like to purchase from, but they do not have
their store set up to ship to the USA, and aren't great about responding
to messages. I'm looking for someone who is willing to buy on my behalf,
and make a couple bucks doing so 
Thanks in advance!

I can help with Stallion Express, CanadaPost or UPS etc and help you out with
that order, the same way as Nubs but you won't see any Pizza or Pizza box
from me 
And I am not that fast. the prices of CanadaPost are almost the same as Stallion
Express and as fast so I always ship with CanadaPost to USA.
Not sure what province that seller is, i.e. if it is in BC, then the shipping
costs to me would be lower.
Generally speaking, it may be difficult to order from a store who does not answer
messages but feel free to pm me.
|
I appreciate the offer! If Nubs gets pizza grease all over my order I may come
looking to you

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=816619
on item listing pages you can now report the item for sale! when you click on
it, it brings you to the report item for sale page with the lot number already
filled out.
Now the question is. has this already been a feature for a long time and I never
noticed it or is it indeed a new feature?
|
Hmm, I don't see that feature when I look at items?

It looks like the responses have died down. 25 Coupons created. 2 redeemed so
far, I'll post an update once the sale period has ended with the final results.

Are you talking about "item total" or "order total"? 
Thanks!

The number that it shows at the bottom here $10 minimum of items ordered.

The description for this part says that it can have either a blocked open stud
or a hollow stud. To me, having one entry for a part that appears to have two
versions is a problem. For sellers, there is no way to list the two variations
separately, and for buyers there is no way to know what version they will be
receiving in an order.
This can be a problem if a buyer needs one version, but receives the other. Please
create a second catalog entry so sellers can differentiate the two versions in
their store listings. I would recommend the following...
3688a - Slope 75 2 x 2 x 2 Quadruple Convex with Blocked Open Stud
3688b - Slope 75 2 x 2 x 2 Quadruple Convex with Hollow Stud
|
Hi there! Are you running a string through the stud? That is the only way the
variant could matter for what you are building

| In Catalog, WOLKsite writes:
| | So, this is sort of a wider-spread issue that would be adressed across several
sets, so I wanted to make one bigger post to adress this as I'm not sure
whether this should be handled through a note or through inventory changes, and
I want to ensure consistency.
I've noticed that several sets with SQUARE rubber bands, the set typically
includes twice the amount of rubber bands necessary to build the set, and these
are typically also included in the piece count listed on the box. However, on
Bricklink, these parts are handled inconsistently.
I've only looked at BIONICLE sets, for the time being.
The following contain 2 rubber bands in their piece count shown on the box, but
only uses one:
8545 Whenua already handles this through a note.
These are duplicates of the above sets but don't show a piece count:
Nui-Rama contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and
2 in the alternate model. Box pcs is 138 - It erroneously excludes all 8 rubber
bands.
Strangely, on Bricks & Pieces, the pcs count is 294. In a LEGO Shop At Home catalogue
I've found, it is 246.
Muaka & Kane-ra contains 12 XS and 16 S rubber bands, but only 6 XS, respectively
8 S, are used in the main model, and 1 XS and 4 S in the alternate model. Box
pcs is 647.
Manas contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and 6 in
the alternate model. Box pcs is 442.
The same LEGO Shop At Home catalogue mentioned for the Nui-Rama, however, shows
the count of 428 - not sure what's up there.
Nui-Jaga contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and
4 in the alternate model. Box pcs is 218. Like Whenua, this one is already
noted.
Tarakava contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and
2 in the alternate model. Box pcs is 401.
As a tangential addendum of notes to add:
Exo-Toa box pcs is 360, erroneously excluding the rubber bands.
Lewa Nuva box pcs is 36 - as already noted, all of the 38 pieces in the set are
used in the instructions one way or another, and Bricks & Pieces says 38 as well.
|
Don't forget Roboriders! I successfully changed one of them a few years back
that also had a large rubber band.

Step 1:
Don't use Stripe
|
Step 2:
Use stripe
|
Step 3:
get a $20 chargeback fee even when they rule in your favor on a fraudulent chargeback.
|
Step 4:
realize that is a very rare case and that knowing Paypal they might do the same
but with stripe you can have a payment option that different customers can better
use increasing sales
|
Except paypal doesn't do the same. I understand the cost/risk ratio can make
it worth it, but Stripe just does not bring enough to the table to put up with
their BS

What? Why can't the buyer just mark it complete? Maybe they don't understand
that marking it received is not enough?
If the status is still shipped, maybe you could mark it complete yourself? Or
is the NSS in the way of that?

Buyer didn't change status; told buyer this; buyer doesn't respond. Fun
innit?
